President Donald Trump argued Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer went “too far” as some Democrats demand their party leader be replaced during a wide-ranging interview on “The Ingraham Angle” Monday.

“I think he made a mistake in going too far,” Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “He thought he could break the Republicans, and the Republicans broke him.”

Eight senators broke rank with the Democratic Party on Sunday, voting for the House-passed spending plan to reopen the government that their Democratic colleagues blocked 14 times.

The Senate voted 60-40 Monday to end the government shutdown, with the final vote going to the House later this week.

As Democrats like Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) consequently call for Schumer to be replaced, Trump says he’s “never seen a politician change so much.”

“I feel badly ‘cause I know Chuck Schumer,” Trump said.

“I’ve known him since he was a person who loved Israel, and now he’s a Palestinian. He’s become a Palestinian… I’ve never seen a politician change so much.”

The longest government shutdown in history revolved around Congress’ debate over extending Obamacare subsidies and led to thousands of workers being furloughed, flights being cancelled nationwide and food aid expiring.

The president argued the real motive behind Democrats’ fight was a desire to extend the subsidies.

“What they really wanted was $1.5 trillion for people that came in illegally, people that come in through and out of prisons,” Trump argued.
