Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) seems to believe that jobs created by Keystone XL pipeline are less important to the economy than other jobs because they will be located in "a limited and red part of the country."
"Give me a break!" Schumer said.
Schumer’s speech on Tuesday included other head-scratchers besides downplaying people finding work in red states.
Schumer also said despite the midterm results that deep down, the "public knows in its gut" that bigger government is the "only way" for the middle class to prosper. Revealing a strategy for Democrats in 2016, Schumer said "they must embrace" big government to win.
