Schumer has put his foot in his mouth once again. But this may be the worst instance of it.

And Sen. Schumer made a disgusting statement after this horrible tragedy.

In a stunning display of insensitivity, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer kicked off a press conference meant to tackle horrific mass shootings by cheering for his favorite football team, leaving Americans shaking their heads in disbelief. The New York senator, grinning ear to ear, prioritized sports banter over the lives lost in recent tragedies, drawing fire from across the political spectrum.

The scene unfolded on Sunday when Schumer faced reporters in his home state. He was there to discuss pressing matters like the deadly shooting at Brown University and the terror attack at a Hanukkah event on Sydney, Australia’s Bondi Beach. But instead of diving straight into the somber news, he couldn’t resist a detour into gridiron glory.

“First, of course, as I always say, no matter what — ‘Go Bills!’ They beat the Patriots today. It’s a big deal,” Schumer declared with a smile, as if the nation’s grief could wait for his team spirit. Only after that did he shift gears to the violence that claimed innocent lives, a move that struck many as utterly out of touch.

WATCH:

Critics pounced immediately, slamming the Democrat for what they saw as a callous disregard for the moment’s weight. Republican voices led the charge, highlighting how Schumer’s priorities seemed skewed in the face of real human suffering.

New York Congressman Mike Lawler wasn’t shy in his response.

“Retire. Immediately,” he demanded, capturing the frustration felt by those who expect leaders to act with dignity during crises.

Florida’s Republican, Congressman Randy Fine, piled on with equal force. “This is unbelievable,” he stated, pointing out the irony in Schumer’s self-proclaimed status. “You claim to be the most senior elected Jew in history but want to talk about Football?”

Fine continued his takedown, expressing sheer astonishment at the clip. “When my friend sent this [to] me, I told him it couldn’t be real,” he said, before branding the whole thing “Disgraceful.”

Conservative radio personality Jesse Kelly took the criticism to another level, questioning Schumer’s very humanity. “Just a complete lizard person,” Kelly wrote, adding that the senator had “Stopped being human a long time ago.”

Podcaster Alec Lace joined the fray, blasting Schumer’s lack of awareness. “TONE DEAF AF,” he proclaimed, summarizing the absurdity: “Chuck Schumer says he’ll comment on the shooting at Brown University and the terrorist attack in Australia… But first… GO BILLS!”

Even from the music world, multiplatinum artist John Ondrasik weighed in with disgust. “What a mentally deranged human,” he wrote, summing up the widespread view that Schumer’s behavior crossed into the bizarre.

This isn’t just about a slip-up; it’s part of a pattern where Democrat leaders seem more focused on trivial pursuits than the safety of everyday Americans. Schumer’s choice to segue from football cheers to discussing Instacart’s pricing habits only amplified the disconnect, especially against the backdrop of these devastating events.

The terror attack in Sydney stands out as particularly grim, with Australian officials calling it one of the deadliest such incidents in decades. Targeted at Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach, it hit home for communities already on edge from rising antisemitism worldwide.

Meanwhile, the shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island added to a bloody weekend, claiming lives on a campus that should be a place of learning, not fear. Families are mourning, and the nation looks to its leaders for guidance, not game-day hype.

This episode exposes the rot in elite Democrat circles. Schumer’s actions fuel the fire for those demanding real change in Washington.

As the backlash swells, it’s clear that Americans won’t forget this moment of misplaced priorities.
