Has anyone been louder in advocating for a higher minimum wage than New York's Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer?
He's bellowed that minimum wages should be raised to at least $12 an hour, attempting to shame Republicans for opposing him, by calling it, (kid you not), "a moral issue," as he put it. He's pretty much defined the Democratic Party in the minds of voters by his hammerings on the minimum wage. Then he went and put out an ad calling for unpaid interns. According to the New York Post:
WASHINGTON – Sen. Schumer listed job openings for unpaid interns — but said the posting was “made in error” after Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized members of Congress for seeking free labor.
alk about exploitation.
It is exploitation, as it deprives anyone who's not independently wealthy of the opportunity to serve in the Senate. For free unpaid interns under Schumer, they labor, and he gets the end product of it for nothing, presumably in exchange for a good job recommendation to work for money from someone else. Such a guy.
Here's the kicker: It's not like he doesn't have money to pay interns. Actually, he does, according to the New York Post - a $65,000 congressionally appropriated pot, for his particular office, for just that. Then he went and decided it would be better to get them for free, and, I suppose, use the money some other way, some pleasant way for him, I'm sure.
Like he wouldn't know better - just look at his official photo, contemplating to himself how he can exploit the interns.

Cousin, Amy Schumer's home has iron slats on two levels, all need to go. No borders, no slats, no homes. And start paying your interns.
We need photos of liberals and their many homes with walls and fences! I’d like to see Pelosi and her many fences!
“What Schumer says: What Schumer does.”
This POS Schumer HAS NEVER WORKED A REAL JOB A SINGLE DAY IN HIS LIFE !!!
He went from Law school to the NYS Assembly, to the NYS Senate then to Congrescritter to Senator.
He’s scrooge.
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized members of Congress for seeking free labor.”
Man, Oh, MAN is it going to be fun watching this whippersnapper call out the Libs out on their LACK of Socialism every day of the week, LOL!
Oh, please. Representatives and Senators have been exploiting interns for decades. They work for free or in exchange for all the sex they want to have with their boss.
Well, what a hypocrite.
Slats hell, if’n he hates walls so much he shouldn’t have them either!
Don’t worry about the slats.
They’re there for YOUR protection.

When is chuck up for reelection?
Maybe the ‘BabefromtheBroncks’ is eyeing his seat.
Going to be interesting and I have a feeling there is only ONE way to muzzle her.
She had already said her new colleagues shouldn’t be receiving pay, now going after Senators etal for NOT paying interns.
Have a feeling she will end up being the best ‘mouthpiece’ WE have....when PDT starts supporting or quoting her in an anti-Lib way, we will know what is up. Remember, PDT started out as a mouthy non-Manhattan type, bucking the Manhattan types and busting their chops.
There.
Fixed.

That’s right. Hey Schmuckie . . . TEAR DOWN THOSE WALLS
Evil Scrooge!

And don’t forget - all the slightly “used” cigars!
What a shocker! Not.
Nancy Pelosi took a bribe for a tuna cannery in America Samoa
FTA: On Wednesday, the House voted to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour.
The bill also extends for the first time the federal minimum wage to the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands. However, it exempts American Samoa, another Pacific island territory that would become the only U.S. territory not subject to federal minimum-wage laws.
<snip: A spokeswoman for Mrs. Pelosi said Wednesday that the speaker has not been lobbied in any way by StarKist or Del Monte.
Exactly!
