Here We Go… Chuck Schumer Calls for Postponing Amy Coney Barrett’s Senate Hearings

President Trump and Melania Trump announced last night they had tested positive for the China coronavirus.

On Friday morning GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Senator Thom Tillis and Senator Mike Lee also announced they had tested positive for coronavirus.

On Friday night President Trump took Marine One to Walter Reed Medical Center for the weekend.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wasted no time using the coronavirus news to urge the Republican majority to postpone the hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. The Judiciary hearing is expected to start on October 12th.
