Sunny Hostin even went so far as to tell him, point blank, "you caved." The grilling began with moderator Whoopi Goldberg though, who went straight for the controversy at hand in the first segment with Schumer.

Whoopi Goldberg started the discussion off by asking Schumer why he decided to vote for the continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown, and that’s when Schumer went into a full-on diatribe about his rationale and batted away several interruption efforts.

Sunny Hostin had blunt words for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) during his appearance on “The View” Tuesday morning. The New York senator has come under fire recently after he and nine other Senate Democrats seemed happy to give up any leverage against Republican efforts to demolish federal agencies and shut off government spending without congressional approval.
