Sen. Chuck Schumer shot back at President Trump after the president tweeted out a photo of the New York Democrat and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wearing Islamic garb in front of the Iranian flag.
“President Trump: How low can you go?” Schumer tweeted Monday. “Republicans: How long can you cover up for and defend the president’s actions?”

Trump shared the photo on Twitter Friday morning. The tweet had the caption, “The corrupted Dems trying their best to come to the Ayatollah’s rescue. #NancyPelosiFakeNews.” The hashtag trended on the social media platform.
The hashtag was started in response to an answer Pelosi gave about Iranian protests. After video surfaced of protests against the regime, the California Democrat downplayed the protests saying there were “different reasons why people are in the street.”

Iranian people are angry about what Nancy Pelosi said recently in the interview with @ABC so WE’ve launched a hashtag against what she said. #NancyPelosiFakeNews https://t.co/4VTGAXlzOJ
