Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) tore into President Trump and congressional Republicans on Wednesday over a chaotic presidential debate, asking how they weren't "embarrassed."  

"Last night President Trump delivered one of the most disgraceful performances at a presidential debate that anyone has ever seen. ... Shakespeare summed up in 'Macbeth,' Trump's performance last night — a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing," Schumer said during a Senate floor speech. 

"I just want to ask my Republican colleagues, how are you not embarrassed that President Trump represents your party? How can you possibly, possibly support anyone who behaves this way? Are you watching the same person we are?" Schumer added. 

The first presidential debate between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden was a chaotic confrontation, marked by interruptions, constant cross-talk and increasingly personal attacks.  

Trump sparked bipartisan backlash for refusing to condemn white supremacy. He also appeared to cast doubt on the integrity of the election.

GOP senators that have criticized the debate include Sen. Ben Sasse (Neb.), who called it a "shitshow"; Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah), who called it an "embarrassment"; and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), who said it was "awful." 

Schumer, speaking from the Senate floor, asked why Republicans were not "deeply, utterly, personally embarrassed that Donald Trump is a Republican."

"In an hour and a half that felt like a lifetime, the president managed to insult Vice President Biden's deceased son and smear a living one, please a fringe white supremacist group and capped the night off yet again casting doubt on our own elections," Schumer said.
