Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had his Tuesday press conference in New York City interrupted by a heckler, who started screaming at him in the middle of his remarks, causing cable networks to cut away.
Schumer was addressing impeaching President Donald Trump and was blaming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for not calling the Senate back to vote on the articles of impeachment, which the House will likely vote on sometime Wednesday.
The heckler said he was “sexually excited” when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and can be heard saying “Adolf Hitler was a socialist and that’s exactly who you follow,” before networks cut away from the press conference.
