They should have rubbed dirt on themselves and started screaming like maniacs, maybe Schumer would have mistaken them for Occupiers.
(Daily Caller) — New York Democrat Chuck Schumer was the U.S. senator who decided that a group of tea partiers couldn’t meet in a Capitol hearing room with lawmakers on Thursday, new video shows.
“The chairman tells us this event has to be moved,” Lynden Armstrong, the chief clerk of the Senate Rules Committee told Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee in the video.
When Lee then asked Armstrong who the chairman is, the staffer replied: “Schumer.”
The meeting that Schumer said couldn’t happen in the Russell Senate office building had long been scheduled for tea party activists and lawmakers to discuss the results of the “Tea Party Debt Commission,” a project of the tea party-aligned FreedomWorks organization.
