People Pissed About Chuck Schumer Dancing in Central Park
The Senate Majority Leader is also the Senator for NY and a big advocate for the Save Our Stages push, so he was out this weekend at the big Central Park Concert. Someone got video footage of what was going on backstage and caught him dancing. Now people are pissed that Schumer was dancing and having fun while the Afghanistan situation has the Middle East in chaos.

Or maybe the critics are right. Maybe he was waving his hands in the ay-er. Because he just don’t cay-er.
