U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer ^ | 7.17.17 | U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer

Posted on 07/17/2017 5:49:48 PM PDT by mdittmar

U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced that he is a co-sponsor of bipartisan Senate Resolution (S.Res.211) condemning Chechan officials’ torture, murder, and call for so-called “honor killings” of men who are, or are suspected of being, gay. The resolution was introduced by U.S. Senators Pat Toomey (R – Pa.) and Ed Markey (D – Ma.) and is supported by more than one-third of the U.S. Senate. Specifically, the resolution calls for an immediate end to the persecution in Chechnya and calls on Chechnya and Russia to investigate the violence, punish the perpetrators and protect the human rights of all citizens.

Edgy, but I don’t think he’d dare do something like this to a Middle Eastern country.

HOW MUCH AS THE SLIME BALL whiled against the Muzzies murdering homosexuals????? I bet NONE! Not one time has he opened his slime ball mouth and gone against anything the loving Muzzies have done. Not one. Not 9-11, not France, not any murder of Jews in Israel by the PLO, Hamas and other Muzzie thug terrorists. Shut up Shoe-mer, you slime ball *#&@^*E&#^%^*#&$^#%#!!!!!!

Yet he wants everyone to respect the Muslim culture. How is he respecting them by condemning them? Ah the liberal hypocrisies would be amusing if they weren’t so infuriating on so many other fronts.

I for one feel New Yorkers have gotten about just what they deserve in this horrible man who just seems to be closer and closer to as low as one can get. Moynihan had to have had dementia when he let the Hildabeast of Foster soil his seat, only to be proven again in the Beast of Benghazi.

Poor New York...............

It’s just a way to dig at Russia.
They are OK with muslims killing gays in other countries.
No resolutions about Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, etc.

I understand schemer’s higher priorities are more important than helping fix the American citizens health care system.

Isn’t that interfering into the internal affairs of a foreign country? Then he complains about Russian interference.

I’m curious - has there been any resolutions condemning the persecution, maiming & torturing of Christians committed by middle-eastern countries?
