ABC Eagerly Touts Chuck Schumer’s Lefty Economic Plans
In an appearance Sunday morning on ABC's This Week, New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer teased his party's economic plan which will be unveiled Monday.

Flashback: Bill Clinton Removed Stephanopoulos in Favor of ‘Grown-Up’
Sean Spicer resigned as White House Press Secretary on Friday.
