President Trump is expected to deliver a big address tonight on the ongoing border crisis.
I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern.

Pelosi and Schumer’s response is straight up DEMENTED. They’re demanding equal time. I repeat, they’re demanding that networks give them EQUAL TIME.
NEW: Pelosi & Schumer: “Now that the television networks have decided to air the President’s address, which if his past statements are any indication will be full of malice and misinformation, Democrats must immediately be given equal airtime.” pic.twitter.com/LcXridm7mr

JUST IN: @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer say in joint statement that “Democrats must immediately be given equal airtime” to address the country now that networks are airing Trump’s border security address tomorrow.

No word — yet — from the big four broadcast networks on whether they will provide Pelosi/Schumer the equal time requested.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how ANY Of this works. He’s the President of the United States. They’re not entitled to equal airtime.
What rubbish. He’s the President of the United States. Obama addressed the nation many times without rebuttal except for the State of the Union. When presidents address Congress, which is by its nature co-governed by all parties, the opposition must be given a response. Not here. https://t.co/HvziPmQe2F

This is an actual statement released by people who think they are privileged to do this. I’ve never seen such contempt and tantrum behavior. https://t.co/mlX6adhV0P

This is honestly so creepy. If MSM grants them this request…shame on them. Seriously. If they want to respond to Trump’s address, all they have to do is…hit up their homies on literally EVERY network and late night show. They already own the narrative. The fact that they’re legit freaking out over President Trump’s address is kind of exciting. It must mean they’re scared. Right?
