Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) was laughed off the podium after dismissing a New York Times poll showing that Americans blame Democrats for the government shutdown.
“Now I know the leader is going to show a poll that says that Democrats will be blamed for the shutdown. There are many more polls that show Republicans are to blame. The question in that poll is biased,” Schumer said, referring to the New York Times/Siena College survey.
