TRANSCRIPT:
SCHUMER: "Last night President Trump delivered one of the most disgraceful performances at a presidential debate that anyone has ever seen. And I don't mean that from a political perspective. I mean it from a human perspective. One can become inured to the President's tendency meltdown when confronted with his facts, his brazen lack of self-awareness, his stunning lack of regard for others. But it was maddening to watch the President last night angry and small, unable to show a scintilla of respect, unable to follow even the most basic rules of human civility or decorum, unwilling to constrain a stream of obvious falsehoods and right-wing bile. Shakespeare summed up in Macbeth Trump's performance last night — 'A tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.' Yes, President Trump's debate performance was, in the words of Macbeth, a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
