Calls on Schumer to denounce violence and take responsibility for his role in fanning the flames
NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement after a violent altercation broke out at an event at which Rep. Mike Lawler was speaking, the latest incident of violence incited by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer:
“Chuck Schumer has once again proven that he is not a leader, but a political coward who panders to his party’s most violent and unhinged activists. His reckless rhetoric has repeatedly placed public officials in danger as he actively encourages political violence against his opponents.
"The incident in Rockland County eerily echoes Schumer's 2020 threat, issued on the steps of the Supreme Court, that Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh had 'released the whirlwind,' would 'pay a price' and 'won't know what hit you.' An assassination attempt on Justice Kavanaugh followed.
"By egging on his radical followers, Schumer reveals his utter spinelessness. Rather than standing up for law and order, he chooses to appease the mob. This is the behavior of a man who follows the political winds, no matter how violent, instead of leading with principle. Schumer must immediately denounce the violence his rhetoric has fueled and take responsibility for his role in fanning the flames of political extremism."
