"This is a Schumer motion to suspend the rules and refer the House message, the bill that we're on, to the Rules Committee, which doesn't have jurisdiction over appropriations or spending, and he's trying to call it a vote to fund TSA?" Thune said on the floor.
"I don't know how you come up with this. I will give you credit for coming up with something that's convoluted, but it doesn't do anything that the [Democratic] leader says it does," he added.
Schumer framed the vote as a simple "yes or no" on whether TSA agents should get funded during the shutdown.
"If senators want to pay TSA workers and end the airport chaos, they should support my motion," he said.
Thune, however, countered that Democrats on Friday voted for a fifth time to block a House-passed bill to fund the entire Department of Homeland Security, including TSA.
