After the cave, Schumer took a victory lap that even fellow Democrat Joe Manchin was outraged about.
Schumer Takes Victory Lap After McConnell Caves–Manchin Walks Out
Now, we have this.
GOP Senator Thune confronted Schumer after the speech.
NEW: Manchin tells reporters that he thought Schumer’s speech preceding final passage of the debt limit measure was “inappropriate.”
Thune also said he confronted Schumer on the floor to tell him the speech was out of line.

Thune says of confronting Schumer on the floor:
“His speech was totally out of line. I mean, he crossed lines and it was inappropriate and tone deaf and I told him that.” https://t.co/WN0wayOL5b

Typical RINOs in the GOP.
They hand Democrats a win and then are shocked when Democrats stab them in the back!
