Appearing Jan. 25 on Rachel Maddow’s show— where he and his host had earlier shared a chortle about Trump’s “stupidity” in taking on the intelligence community—the pathetic Sen. Chuck Schumer said “It might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency.”

Despite the Democratic control of both houses of Congress, Schumer urged the move so that Biden has the ability to “do many, many things under the emergency powers … that he could do without legislation.”
