Schumer Seen Waving CCP Flag After China’s National Anthem During Lunar New Year Event

In a controversial display over the weekend, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was seen waving a Chinese flag at a Lunar New Year event in Manhattan. The event, which included a parade and a rally, also featured the Chinese national anthem blaring through loudspeakers.

The incident has sparked outrage among many conservative groups and politicians.

The event, which took place in Manhattan’s Chinatown, was attended by other prominent New York politicians, including Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. However, it was Schumer’s actions that drew the most attention.

Critics argue that the display was inappropriate and disrespectful to the millions of Chinese-Americans and others who have suffered under the Chinese Communist Party’s oppressive regime.

The controversy comes at a time when tensions between the United States and China are high, with many Americans concerned about the Chinese government’s influence on American institutions and its human rights abuses. Critics of Schumer’s actions argue that it sends the wrong message to both the Chinese government and the American people.

Many conservative news outlets and politicians have been quick to condemn the Senator’s actions, calling them tone-deaf and inappropriate.

As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how it will affect Senator Schumer’s political standing and the ongoing debate over the United States’ relationship with China.
