Chuck Schumer Grimaces After Saying Donald Trump 'Incited The Erection'

Providing a bit of levity to Friday afternoon in the U.S. legislature, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Donald Trump of inciting the “erection” ahead of the presdent’s impeachment trial. It’s likely the only erection Trump has ever been accused of inciting.

More importantly, Schumer rejected Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s request to include a protection for the filibuster.
