Cryin' Chuck Schumer has issued a press release on his official government website, telling everyone that he can't answer constituent phone calls because of the government shutdown, the very shutdown which he created.
Here is his statement:
Unfortunately, as of 12:01am on Saturday January 20, 2018, there has been a lapse in federal appropriations, which means that the federal government is temporarily shutdown. Because of this, we are sorry to inform you that Senator Schumer's office will no longer be able to perform certain functions. Below is a list of information on how the government shutdown will affect the services that Senator Schumer's office normally provides.
During the government shutdown, Senator Schumer's offices, both in Washington D.C. and across New York State, won't be able to receive phone calls or faxes like we normally do. For emergencies, please call 1-212-486-1438 and we will do our best to get back to you.
Mail delivery in the United States Senate has stopped. If you sent Senator Schumer a letter prior to the shutdown and it has not yet arrived at our office, this mail will be held at a sorting facility until the government re-opens. Mail that was sent and delivered to Senator Schumer's office before the shutdown has been sorted and will be replied to once the government shutdown is over.
Senator Schumer will be able to receive email during the government shutdown but we will be unable to respond until the government reopens.
Unfortunately, during the government shutdown, work on any outstanding help with a federal agency that Senator Schumer's office may be assisting you with is suspended. This includes, but is not limited to: problems with your Social Security, Passports, Visas, Medicare Assistance and Veterans Assistance. Work on these problems will continue immediately after the government re-opens. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have an emergency related to a federal agency, please call 212-486-1438 and we will do our best to try to help you.
This is the most shameful display of political self-aggrandizement I have ever seen.
Chuck Schumer is putting illegal aliens, foreign nationals who are undermining our country ahead of the American citizens, particularly the military which defends our borders and our interests around the world.
The Democratic Party will lose numbers, will lose elections, and will lose hegemony in Washington and around the country if they can't get more foreign nationals into the country to vote for more government, more statism, and more dependence.
We cannot allow the Communist-Democratic Party to undermine this great country because they want votes.
It's crystal clear where Cryin' Chuck's allegiances truly stand:
Call Senator's Schumer's office, and demand that he stop holding our government, our military, our national security hostage:
