Senator Schumer criticizes hypocrisy over canceling August break

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York answers a question about canceling the August break at a weekly briefing that Mitch McConnell could not have it both ways after bragging to his base that more judges had been confirmed but had not appointed enough, which did not pass the laugh test. Schumer says Americans care about healthcare first and foremost, paying more in increased premiums and drug prices then they got in any tax break, calling August a wonderful and great opportunity given by McConnell to go after the high costs.
