Chuck Schumer ‘Got Beat Up Badly’ – Tragic News Rocks The Senate !

“In the New York Times, but it’s biased,” Schumer continued. The reaction in the chamber grew louder, with Republican lawmakers clearly amused by the comment.

Schumer then added another line that seemed to fuel the reaction even further. “I don’t always believe the New York Times,” he said. “You can be sure of that. Neither do you.”

The laughter that followed created a moment that political commentators later described as one of the more awkward exchanges in recent Senate debate. Critics from the Republican side quickly seized on the incident, claiming Schumer had undermined his own argument by dismissing a major newspaper that Democrats have often cited in support of their positions.
