Chuck Schumer Claims Democrats Don’t Support Gun Confiscation. Beto Proves Him Wrong.

After Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) dismissed Democratic presidential candidate former Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s (D-TX) demand for a nationwide gun confiscation program as unrepresentative of the Democratic Party, O’Rourke responded with polls showing its support.

“I don’t know of any other Democrat who agrees with Beto O’Rourke,” Schumer told reporters during a conference call on Wednesday. “But it is no excuse not to go forward [with gun control legislation].”
