Top Dems cry babies pull out of White House meeting after Trump attack

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress' top Democratic leaders abruptly pulled out of a planned meeting Tuesday with President Donald Trump after he attacked them on Twitter, casting doubt on the prospects for a quick agreement to avert a government shutdown at the end of next week.

Trump tweeted early Tuesday that "I don't see a deal!" with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer and top House Democrat Nancy Pelosi of California and accused them of being soft on crime, taxes and illegal immigration.

Schumer and Pelosi shot back by canceling the afternoon White House meeting and asking instead for immediate talks with top Republican leaders in Congress.

"Given that the president doesn't see a deal between Democrats and the White House, we believe the best path forward is to continue negotiating with our Republican counterparts in Congress instead," Schumer, D-N.Y., and Pelosi said in a statement. "Rather than going to the White House for a show meeting that won't result in an agreement, we've asked Leader McConnell and Speaker Ryan to meet this afternoon."\

You know Chuckie and Nasty are going to use this down the road to cry some more that they were excluded from meeting with Trump

Walking out of the meeting in advance makes no sense for Schumer and Pelosi.

A shutdown is unlikely because both sides have other things on their plates.

This is all for show.

Even in a shutdown, fake things like closing parks and the Washington Monument occur.
