'Look at their faces'! Schumer and Pelosi watch replay of disastrous rebuttal to Trump's border speech (just TRY not to laugh)

Keep in mind that everybody EXCEPT Pelosi and Schumer saw their rebuttal as it happened, but the Speaker of the House and the Senate Minority Leader didn’t have a chance to see how it looked until later. What must they have been thinking?

And at the end of the day…

Might have been better to not respond at all.
