Incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was interrupted by a protester in the middle of his press conference on a New York City street. The protester called Mr Schumer a “racist, coward, anti-semite". Mr Schumer, who is Jewish, was calling on the FBI to add Capitol rioters to the no-fly list as plans are being made to return to Washington, DC.
The protester described themselves as a “transexual, gipsy, which makes me a minority of colour," and can be heard saying: "You’re nothing but a racist, I'm glad Donald Trump protested this... I didn't think that the Trump group had it in them, I didn’t think that the conservatives did, but you know what, you racist… remember this, Adolf Hitler was a socialist.”
“You racist socialists, you’re nothing but cowards,” the protester yelled at Mr Schumer as he awkwardly stared down at his podium. At least two people stepped in between the protester and Mr Schumer as they yelled at him.
“That’s how much I’m glad over what they did. People do what they do. After all, you don’t care about us. We tried to protest peacefully."
