Schumer confronted in DC by anti-Big Tech protesters calling for antitrust vote
NY Post ^ | July 26, 2022

WASHINGTON — About two dozen anti-Big Tech activists, some in costume, stalked a DC fundraiser hosted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday evening to demand that he call a vote on pending antitrust legislation.

Schumer ended up hunkering down in the Kimpton George Hotel near the Capitol building until after the protest disbanded — as his guests filtered out and earnestly told the crowd that he already left.

A person at the 5 p.m. fundraiser for Schumer’s Impact PAC said that the New York Democrat left the event at 5:56 p.m. — so most of the demonstrators returned to a nearby bar incorrectly believing he slipped out a side entrance.

But the protest group’s photographer spotted Schumer climbing into an SUV 30 minutes later at 6:26 p.m. and shared her photo with The Post.

“Schumer and his team knew that we were there and it altered his plans for the day. He ended up staying an extra half hour just to avoid being confronted by protesters,” said Maria Langholz, communications director of Demand Progress.

Schumer is a commie, Jim.

Once a cowardly little gunsel - always a cowardly little gunsel - as in Sidney's gunsel in The Maltese Falcon. Very stupid and bereft of balls.

Schumer is used to peering over his half glasses at lowly peons and barely withholding his disgust at them.

Not used to hostile mobs.

What does he think the non-woke people are going to say when the midterms draw closer? Will he order troops to keep all dissenters at a far perimeter as in the 1968 Dem convention where protest was “allowed” in a far away and separate park, nowhere near the Humphrey convention, followed at night by tear gas and brutal beatings as dissenters were deliberately trapped with no outlets and troops and cops at every part of the park.
