Chuck Schumer Keeps Talking

Time: “For Schumer, the Senate’s Great Kibitzer, leadership consists of talking–and talking, and talking, and talking. The other 49 members of the Democratic caucus marvel at how frequently he calls. He calls just to check in; he calls in the middle of the night; he calls when other people might send a text or email, formats he abhors.”

Said Schumer: “You never learn things by email. I hate it.”

“Schumer estimates that he talks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi two or three times a day, President Biden two or three times a week, White House chief of staff Ron Klain three or four times a day.”

He adds: “I talk to people–talk. Everyone should talk. If you disagree with someone, fine, be respectful–but talk!”
