President Trump is facing criticism from rights groups for calling Senator Chuck Schumer 'a Palestinian' during a meeting in the Oval Office. Jewish and Muslim groups have condemned the president's use of the term as a racial slur, with the Anti-Defamation League stating that deciding who is and is not Jewish is unacceptable. The comments came after Senate Democrats announced they would not support a Republican bill to fund the government, raising the possibility of a government shutdown.
