Some Democrats have asked Schumer to give up their leadership role after their vote, suggesting that he is not fighting with the Trump administration strong enough. Colbert, the leftist presenter of “The Late Show” and a Reinforcement of the Democratic Party Who once danced with Schumer in Central Park, repeatedly asked Schumer to explain his decision to bother the progressives.

“Many people got angry with you,” he added.
“Before explaining, I am sure that it is very reasonable, why they should not be angry with you, can you put yourself in their shoes for a moment and try to understand why they are?” Colbert asked Schumer.
“People are angry,” said Schumer. “I am angry because Donald Trump is causing such damage to the United States, to the working people of the United States.”
“But do you know why they are angry with you?” Colbert said, pressing Schumer again to Explain your decision.

“Well, they are angry with me about the way I voted,” Schumer replied. “And I knew. I knew when I voted the way I made many people be upset. But let me tell you why I did it.”
“The closure would have been 10 times worse than the CR,” said the senator, arguing that the Trump administration would obtain an additional influence to close government agencies if he had not supported the draft Law on Republican expenses.

“Look, I’m not giving up,” said Schumer in an interview about “Meet The Press” by NBC on Sunday. “I knew that when I cast my vote against the closure of the government, there would be a lot of controversy.”
