Republicans slam Schumer for blocking election security briefing over Supreme Court 'temper tantrum'

Senate Republicans chastised Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for blocking the Senate Intelligence Committee from receiving an election security briefing on foreign interference following the New York Democrat’s “temper tantrum” over the Supreme Court.

“Just a short time ago, Democratic leaders demanded more briefings on election interference,” acting Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Marco Rubio said on Tuesday. “The Senate Intelligence Committee was scheduled to have a briefing today with Director Evanina, who leads our nation’s election security efforts. However, Sen. Schumer had a temper tantrum over the Supreme Court and used a procedural move to cancel the committee’s briefing.”
