I say this because of the cruel hoax he is playing on 9/11 families:
“If Saudi Arabia participated in terrorism, of course they should be able to be sued,” Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer said in April regarding increasing calls from Americans to unravel the truth behind the infamous 9/11 terrorist attacks. But his sentiment was misleading.
Though he rhetorically supported the recent legislation allowing victims’ families to sue foreign governments, he and other lawmakers surreptitiously added an amendment to the bill to effectively gut its original intent. As the New York Post reported, “Sen. Charles Schumer and other proponents of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act [JASTA] stuffed an amendment into the final draft allowing the attorney general and secretary of state to stop any litigation against the Saudis in its tracks.” The new section, titled “Stay of Actions Pending State Negotiations,” was added just before the vote was taken last week.
Though JASTA would remove statutory restrictions that currently impede a lawsuit against Saudi Arabia,“Schumer helped craft an entirely new section to the original bill, giving the Justice and State departments the power to stay court action indefinitely.” In a poor substitute for legal accountability, the amendment allows the government to halt any such suit as long as it can prove the U.S. government has engaged with the Saudis diplomatically to resolve the issue.

Whom is he protecting - the US, the Saudis, the Israelis? Or perhaps all of the above?
By the way, I don't like his sister, either. She's not funny, and neither is he.
