Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., declined to weigh in on the latest scandal to hit a member of his party, instead focusing on his planned diatribe against President Donald Trump’s primetime address Thursday.
The New York Post reported that Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., engaged in sexual relationships with at least two Democratic House staffers who did not work for him while he was a member of the House. According to House rules, members are not barred from having relationships with staffers who work outside their office.
Sources told the outlet it was believed the relationships happened while the lawmaker was unmarried.
When asked to weigh in on the latest scandal involving Gallego, Schumer mentioned his planned speech railing against Trump’s scheduled address on foreign interference in the 2020 election Thursday night and told Fox News Digital, "I’m not — I’m focused on this right now."
It’s the latest bad headline to hit Gallego, who has been in the conversation for a 2028 presidential bid. The Post reported that Gallego admitted to the two relationships, which were both with aides to Texas Democrats.
When asked by reporters about the allegations, Gallego said, "I’m not going to engage in gossip."
Gallego's office did not immediately return a request for comment.
Gallego has come under scrutiny for his relationship with former Rep. Eric Swalwell, who resigned from the House earlier this year after being accused by several women of sexual assault, rape and harassment.

The surprise is Schumer. licensed lawyer that he is, didn’t immediately respond with “Please define ‘relationships’ in the context you are using it”.
Well, one would expect SO.
Have YOU seen pictures of his WIFE?
Schmuckie is nothing if not dodgey...
What was wrong with the Senate staffers?
It’s the latest bad headline to hit “fat-chance Gallego,” who has aspirations for a 2028 Democrat presidential bid.
The NY Post reported that Democrat Gallego admitted to the two
sexually-charged relationships, who were both Texas Democrat aides.

Did he diddle Amy ?
It appears that the new Democrats have it out for the Old Democrats
I don’t care who someone is sleeping with.
Commies are making their move, cleaning out the less-than-true-believers.
Did he fart after dodging that question

TTIUWOPs.....
My son, a tech guy, decided he wanted to live and work in d.c. Met and had a relationship with Paty foley, assistant to John Kerry, senator from Massachusetts.
when I flew down to see him, Patty gave me the grand tour and I heard all kinds of juicy storyies about senators and congressmen who had relations with all kinds of girls.
they told me that Patty crossed her fingers every morning that Kerry would show up. why? the girls he “dated” were underage and if that got out it would wreck his career.
so that’s just one congresscrit. when I made that trip, I still looked good and dressed well. surprise surprise, congresscrits made advances, especially one from Illinois..........
The HOR staffers are sodomizing eachother in the house chamber. I don’t really care who they are shtooping. They are all pigs. A pox on them all.
