Schumer went on to slam the Trump-backed "one, big, beautiful bill," which was passed and signed into law earlier this month. He accused Republicans of "taking away people’s healthcare [and] taking food out of the mouths of hungry children to give billionaires a tax break."
"No principle and no conscience, shame!" Schumer exclaimed.
In response, White House spokesperson Harrison Fields mocked "jihadist Chuck Schumer," whom he called "a professional gaslighter who would rather race-bait than work with President Trump to execute his historic agenda."

Popular account Libs of TikTok also chimed in, mocking Schumer for saying "Republicans ‘don't believe in democracy’ because they want voter ID to make sure AMERICAN citizens are the only ones voting in AMERICAN elections."

Political commentator Greg Price also commented, saying Democrats "think deportations are fascism and that requiring an ID to vote is Jim Crow. Should consider making it a little less obvious what they're true intentions are."
