âSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that he has âno faith in Trumpâs judicial systemâ and accused the president of undermining democracy by going after former FBI Director James Comey and other political foes.
Schumer said on NBC Newsâ âMeet the Pressâ that President Donald Trump âhas turned this judicial system to be his own political fighter, [to] do what he wants, politically, so that he tells them to go after people he doesnât like. He tells them to exonerate people that he likes.â
Schumer pointed to Comey, who was indicted last week on charges of making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding, just days after the president said that Attorney General Pam Bondi should prosecute him. Trump also called for the Justice Department to investigate other political foes, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
âWhen he says he doesnât like Comey, look what happened there,â Schumer told âMeet the Pressâ moderator Kristen Welker. âTrumpâs done so many bad things to undermine our democracy, to undermine our norms. This is one of the very worst,â Schumer added.â

It is the very worst.
And itâs not just Trump â Congressional Republicans and Trumpâs supporters have likewise worked to undermine democracy and undermine our norms.
