Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) an “absolute fraud” in remarks from the Senate floor regarding the governor’s response to this week’s mass shooting at a Texas elementary school.
“Yesterday, after Beto O’Rourke confronted Texas Gov. Abbott’s press conference, the MAGA governor gave some empty platitudes about healing and hope,” Schumer said Thursday, referencing former President Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again.”
“He asked people to put their agendas aside and think about someone other than themselves. My God. How dare he. What an absolute fraud the governor of Texas is,” the majority leader said, noting that Abbott was scheduled to speak at the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) upcoming convention in Houston.
After the shooting, Abbott held a press conference during which O’Rourke, his Democratic gubernatorial opponent, interrupted him.
“You are doing nothing,” O’Rourke told Abbott. “You said this was not predictable, this was totally predictable, and you choose not to do anything.”
O’Rourke was later escorted out of the auditorium where the press conference was taking place.
“Gov. Abbott, will you ask your MAGA buddies and your NRA pals to put aside their agendas and think of someone other than themselves, like you asked the families to do? … Of course not,” Schumer added on Thursday, saying Abbott was “more likely to outline some new plan to further loosen gun restrictions.”
“No amount of bloodshed seems to be enough for MAGA Republicans. This nation is enraged as well as being exhausted,” he said.
Tuesday’s shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, left 19 children and two adults dead, the deadliest school shooting in the U.S. since 20 children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012.

He calls him a “MAGA governor”, trying to tie in Trump as well no doubt.
Sickening.
Chuck can go Brandon himself.
Schumer is Meshugge.
“Chuck U.” Schumer calling anyone a fraud is rich. This from an ignorant, arrogant, incompetent knothead who couldn’t find his @$$hole with both hands and a funnel.
When it comes to Make America Great Again, I’m all in, and I can’t even understand anyone who is not.#UltraMAGA pic.twitter.com/6KyTP7ftus— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) May 7, 2022
Maybe we should put forward vouchers to supplement gun purchases. Make the Schumers of the world have to pay to arm citizens.
I watched this guy on a Waco documentary video on the hearings. He was an Awh0le then, and he is an Awh0le now. Why people like him are allowed to stay in power for so long is an indication there is something seriously wrong going on in this country.
Schumer knows all about being a fraud.
democrats prove every day they are our enemy, not the russians or the chinese.
Take the subway without a bodyguard, twerp.
How is Chuck E Cheese calling anyone a fraud?
That’s not a bad thing.
I’d be worried if Upchuckie Schumer was singing my praises, not by lame attempts to slam me.
The dangerous part is that most people in the U.S. who don’t think outside the box they’re put in everyday, will think Chuck Schumer is right. They actually vote, and it’s been going on for decades.
More of that “unity” thing coming from the dems.
There is no coexisting with these foul people…. None whatsoever.
Its OK. I’d call Schumer an absolute scumbag.
Just when you’re sure Schumer can’t possibly out-do himself.....he does.
Oh gee, don’t you just love it with him lecturing to the rest of us, particularly in the wake of what happened in Buffalo? And also more so when the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop is now fully confirmed? Maybe I’ll listen when darling Amy asks for the armed security at the Oscars to no longer be required.
Schumer dancing to the same old recording of “Projection”.
