Schumer Capitol Attack Presser Bombed by Pro-Trump Heckler Threatening to Invade His House
Source: Newsweek
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's outdoors Tuesday press conference was interrupted by a heckler who yelled that pro-Trump protesters would go to both his home and the house of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Schumer was in the midst of delivering comments in the aftermath of the Capitol riot on a New York City sidewalk, calling for those who participated in the Wednesday riot at the U.S. Capitol building to be placed on a no-fly list. On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced they were launching an investigation into the riot at the Capitol building which left 5 people dead.
Many lawmakers have called for Trump's removal from office, believing him to be responsible for the riot. As Schumer made his Tuesday statements, he was approached by an individual wearing a face mask who began shouting insults.
Referencing U.S. demonstrations in 2020 against racism and police culture, the heckler said that Schumer "told the police to stand down in Kenosha, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. And you know what? These Trump supporters are gonna go to your house. They're gonna go to Pelosi's house. They'll destroy her vineyards and I will be right there to support them."

Another stable genius threatening a public official in front of everyone. I hope he doesn't have any dietary restrictions or qualms like the great horned shaman does.

Our people cannot be taking chances like that.

(3,992 posts)Schumer seemed distracted by busyness of the street. There was traffic noise, wind, and people milling about.
And then, the heckler came.
Why was Schumer on the streets of NYC where he would be destined to attract commotion?
(I was trying to respond to the post above, and I missed the target.)

...maybe if the heckler would post his name and address they could stop over for a beer and some BBQ afterwards...
...insurrection can make you hungry...
