Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday pointed to his opposition to the Iran nuclear deal as proof that he will not serve as a rubber stamp to a possible President Hillary Clinton if elected as the Senate Majority Leader next year.
“When I disagree with Secretary Clinton, I will. She and I disagreed greatly, for instance, on the Iran agreement,” Schumer said in a TV debate with his Republican challenger, Wendy Long, aired on NY1, when asked how he will demonstrate his independence should he be in control of the chamber. “I thought that was a very bad idea. She thought it was a good idea. And that didn’t stop me; I studied it, I had lots of briefings, and I came to the right conclusion.”
“So when I think President Clinton is wrong, I will disagree with her,” he promised.
