Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's two adult daughters work for big tech, raising questions about whether he has conflicts of interest as the Senate pursues legislation to rein in the companies.

The New York Post reported Tuesday that Jessica Schumer is a registered lobbyist for Amazon, while her sister Alison Schumer works for Facebook as a product marketing manager.

Schumer: I don’t like the tone of your insinuating questions. The next time I peer over the top rims of my half glasses at you I suggest you run like Hell.

Gee, I wonder why the source is the Daily Mail? Shouldn’t the intrepid reporters at CNN and elsewhere be on a story like this (like Bogie in the movie “Deadline-U.S.A.)?

Meh, the media won’t push this, it’s a non starter. Dems doing what Dems do.

Where is Letitia James on this? I'm sure there is a broken law somewhere.

People (including Republican people) have known about this for years, yet nothing was done about it.
Same as nothing is being done about Nancy’s insider trading.
Those days of Gentlemen’s Agreements are over, because the Dems have become vindictive about every little thing.

Washinton DC, District of Corruption.

Show me where there is NO conflict of interest in politics, and I’ll put my paper down.

Even the dog catcher... his daughter works at Petco and gets free fish food because of that connection.

The useless, commie POS should still be in jail for threatening those SCOTUS judges. He’s a vile, evil SOB.

Yeah, but it’s not like he’s a Republican or something. So, what’s the problem?
