Chuck ‘Shutdown’ Schumer Gets Fact-Checked Into Oblivion Over Trump’s Ballroom

By Updated: POLITICS COMMENTARY

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed questions regarding President Donald Trump’s renovations to the White House. When asked if he was considering any additional renovations beyond the ballroom and the rose garden, she replied that the ballroom was the primary focus. She emphasized that it serves as an essential event space for the White House complex.

A leftist influencer jumped on the remark, deliberately framing it as if President Trump’s “main priority” was building a ballroom — conveniently ignoring the broader context about planned White House renovations. Then, right on cue, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer picked it up and ran with the distortion, pushing the narrative to deceive people.

He even threw in a curse word to make himself sound ‘relatable’ or something like that – this from the same dude who put cheese on a raw burger he was grilling … to make himself look ‘relatable’ or something like that.

Trump’s rapid response team roasted Chuckie for his lame and fact-free post. But of course, Shutdown Schumer doubled down.

But here’s the real shocker — even CNN had to call out the nonsense. Their own fact-checker, Daniel Dale, actually nailed Schumer and the rest of the Democrats for spreading the false claim. When CNN, of all outlets, sides with the truth over the Democrat narrative, you know it’s bad.

A reporter asked press secretary Karoline Leavitt at a Thursday briefing: “In addition to the ballroom and the Rose Garden patio, is the president looking at any other renovations or significant kind of projects here at the White House?”

Leavitt responded: “Not to my knowledge, no. But he’s a builder at heart, clearly. And so his heart and his mind is always churning about how to improve things here on the White House grounds. But at this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.”

So Leavitt was clearly referring to the planned new ballroom as Trump’s main priority for White House renovations. But on social media, various Democratic members of Congress have cut out the first part of the exchange to make it sound like she was saying the ballroom was Trump’s overall main priority.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson was loving it:

Ouch, that one stung — Schumer got caught red-handed, and he knows it. That’s why he’s suddenly cranking up his anti-Trump theatrics, desperately trying to hold onto the far-left base before they turn on him. But it’s a losing strategy. The more he panders to the radicals, the more he alienates the moderates he actually needs to survive. His grandstanding isn’t winning anyone back; it’s just exposing how weak his position really is.

The Democrats have completely lost the plot. Between their meltdown over Trump’s White House renovations and the so-called “Schumer Shutdown,” they’ve gone so far off the rails that even the mainstream media can’t cover for them anymore.

A CNBC reporter just cornered Hakeem Jeffries on live TV over their bogus Obamacare subsidy excuse, and even ABC’s Jon Karl flat-out admitted the Democrats are to blame for the shutdown. When you’ve lost the networks that usually run interference for you, it’s game over.
