NEW YORK, NY – New York Senator Chuck Schumer was visibly upset after he was called some pretty bad names by people at a cultural parade in New York City this weekend.
During the 2024 Dominican Day Parade in New York City, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer found himself in a bit of a tense situation. While the parade was mostly filled with vibrant celebrations of Dominican culture, Schumer was confronted by some attendees who were less than pleased with his political performance.

One individual vocally expressed disdain, reportedly calling Schumer a “scumbag” and stating that Dominicans “hate his guts” and believe he has “ruined New York.”
This incident stood out against the backdrop of an otherwise jubilant event. The parade, which took place on August 11, 2024, featured a sea of Dominican flags, music, and dance as New Yorkers came together to celebrate the rich culture and contributions of the Dominican community.
However, Schumer’s experience highlighted the ongoing tension between some New Yorkers and their elected officials, especially amidst the complex political landscape of the city.
