‘The View’ Co-Host Bluntly Shuts Down Sen. Chuck Schumer: ‘I Think You Caved’

"No one wants to fight more than me," the New York Democrat said in response to Sunny Hostin's critique.

Sunny Hostin had blunt words for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) during his appearance on “The View” Tuesday morning.

The New York senator has come under fire recently after he and nine other Senate Democrats seemed happy to give up any leverage against Republican efforts to demolish federal agencies and shut off government spending without congressional approval.

The outcry over Schumer’s actions led him to postpone a book tour on Monday over “security concerns,” but he went on “The View” on Tuesday anyway, possibly hoping for a sympathetic panel.

However, Hostin didn’t get that memo. Although she called Schumer a “friend,” she bluntly told him that she wasn’t impressed by his recent actions ― or lack thereof.

“I think you and nine other Democrats caved. I don’t think you showed the fight this party needs right now because you’re playing by a rule book where the other party has thrown that rule book away,” Hostin said.
