New York, NY - U.S. Senate nominee Wendy Long (R-C-R) today stated:
“While Chuck Schumer is busy trying to ban e-cigarettes and talking about the happy history of Cheerios that we all love, he has been mysteriously silent over revelations that the White House deliberately misled the American people about the Iran nuclear deal by creating an ‘echo chamber’ and taking advantage of ignorant reporters last summer.
“It’s always been puzzling that, while Sen. Schumer correctly voted against the Iran deal, he immediately went silent and rolled over, doing nothing to exert the leadership position he purports to hold to convince his fellow Senators to defeat this dangerous and ill-advised deal.
“Now with the Ben Rhodes story coming out, it is all the more apparent that Schumer sacrificed national security for his own selfish political ends. The lies and the deception from the White House make Schumer’s inaction all the more tragic and costly.
“New Yorkers deserve to know: did Schumer get a wink and a nod from the White House and play along with their deception, or was he ignorant and simply failed to uncover the truth? Either way, it is not just embarrassing for him, it is a dereliction of duty that should cost him his job. He failed to protect Israel and he failed to protect New Yorkers and all Americans.”
