Six staffers arrested after climate sit-in at Chuck Schumer’s office

Six staffers were reportedly arrested in Congress on Monday afternoon for staging a sit-in at Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer’s office and protesting about a lack of legislative action on the environment. The congressional staffers and activists had started the demonstration earlier Monday, with 17 staffers sitting in Schumer’s office to demand that he reopen climate negotiations, according to Saul Levin, a policy adviser for progressive congresswoman Cori Bush.

 

“Right now, we Hill staffers are peacefully protesting Dem leaders INSIDE. To my knowledge, this has never been done,” he wrote.

A reporter asked why the group had chosen Schumer’s office, and not that of Manchin. (Earlier today, Manchin announced he had tested positive for Covid-19 and was working remotely). The staffer replied cryptically: “Because there’s always going to be a sheep that strays away from the herd.”

 

This is threatening behavior toward Schumer

And Its NOT about Climate Change

But Schumer, and Joe Biden’s, efforts to advance climate legislation have been thwarted largely because of the opposition of the Democratic West Virginia senator Joe Manchin. So why protest in Schumer's office?

 

“Because there’s always going to be a sheep that strays away from the herd.”

They are warning Schumer not to rat on anyone. I couldn't say speciffically, but it sounds like a group of people are worrid – a Union. re-read above posts.
