  • Does Chuck Schumer represent American Jews?

    This maybe off-topic. I agree with Chuck Schumer but I dislike the way the media, all of the media, covered his speech. There is no position for “the most powerful Jewish politician in America” It doesn’t exist and it shouldn’t exist. Chuck Schumer is the senator for the state of New York, not for American Jews. I live in the state of Pennsylvania. I have two senators who represent me. more
