Schumer says he was targeted on Jan. 6 for his religion

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday recounted being evacuated from the Senate chamber during the Jan. 6 attack, including a close brush with rioters who he was told made antisemitic remarks about him.

"I was within 30 feet of these nasty, racist, bigoted insurrectionists. Had someone had a gun, had two of them blocked off the door, who knows what would have happened. I was told later that one of them reportedly said, 'There's the big Jew. Let's get him,' " Schumer said.

"Bigotry against one is bigotry against all. And I saw something that I had been told later never happened before, the Confederate flag flying in this dear Capitol. That's just one of many searing, grotesque images of that unimaginable, most un-American day," Schumer added.

Schumer, like most of the Senate, was on the Senate floor when it was locked down after a pro-Trump mob breached the Capitol building. He and other senators were subsequently evacuated from the chamber.

1. I was waiting to hear that or the equivalent...

He rightfully diminishes his ethnic background as a matter of course, however for an anti-Semite this guy is target number two. I’ve spent my whole life watching peoples’ eyes carefully when I say my name which is very Jewishy (for want of a better word) and the number of times I see their eyes’ focus narrow and a facial grimace slightly appear, is significant.

TFG supporters are all assholes and bigots
