Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday blasted President Trump for saying he doesn’t know if he has to uphold the Constitution amid his sweeping immigration crackdown.

During a “Meet the Press” interview with NBC News’s Kristen Walker, the president said he was “relying” on Attorney General Pam Bondi to guide the administration’s response to a Supreme Court ruling directing his administration to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a wrongfully deported Maryland man.

When asked by Welker about whether he must uphold the Constitution when it comes to deportations, Trump said, “I don’t know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. What you said is not what I heard the Supreme Court said. They have a different interpretation.”

In response to a clip posted to the social platform X, Schumer said the president “has just admitted that he ‘doesn’t know’ whether he needs to uphold the Constitution.” “This is as un-American as it gets,” he added.

1. Perhaps Senator Schumer can send him a strongly worded letter

to remind him of his responsibilities.

10. That will do the trick.

He should tell the felon he's concerned

2. Doesn't sound like much of a "blast" to me.

This should be a "hair on fire" moment, but Schumer can just call the turd "un-American" and that will make it all better. We can all go home and sleep now because he fixed it.

7. Blasts?

I don’t think Schumer knows the meaning of the word.

8. ...and, Chuck? Need we repeat the standard Schumer joke?

9. Just think of how strongly-worded a letter this will elicit.

13. Trump is only responsible for good things, to hear him tell it.

Bad things are the fault of others. Sunshine leadership.

14. Now it's not even sternly worded letters. Now it's sternly worded tweets.

Profile in courage right there.

15. That's an oxymoron. nt
