WASHINGTON _ Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer has nothing against President-elect Donald Trump frequently tweeting.
The Democratic leader calls Twitter "a great way to communicate _ I do it all the time and the president-elect does it all the time."
But, the 66-year-old New Yorker said, Twitter has its limits.
"I'm sort of amazed you can tweet about Putin but not have intelligence briefings," Schumer told reporters.
"We can't have a Twitter presidency," he said. "It's necessary, but hardly sufficient."
And then the senator known around Washington for using an old-school flip phone explained even further.
"Nothing wrong with twittering, but everything wrong with tweeting."
"Nothing wrong with tweeting," a triumphant Schumer quickly corrected himself _ "I am showing my age" _ "Nothing wrong with tweeting, but everything wrong if that's your sole means of governing or communicating, or even your major means."
