House Speaker gives Schumer an ultimatum on Netanyahu
2024-05-22
[IsraelNationalNews] House Speaker Mike Johnson has presented Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer with an ultimatum: Join his letter inviting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, or the House will move ahead with an invitation on its own, The Hill reported on Tuesday.
*Snicker* Hardball politics.
Johnson told reporters that his office notified Schumer’s staff the day before that if the Senate leader does not sign the draft invitation for Netanyahu by Tuesday, he will proceed with inviting Netanyahu to address just the House.

The Speaker, however, noted that he would invite senators to attend the speech.

"My office told Senator Schumer’s office yesterday that he needed to sign the joint letter, and if not, we were gonna proceed and invite Netanyahu just to the House, and I’ll send individual invitations to senators," Johnson said, according to The Hill.

#2  Schumer has no shame. He is a lying weasel, no disrespect to actual weasels, and I don't trust him as far as I can throw my thumb.
