Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) triggered a national backlash after he referred to intellectually disabled children as “retarded” on a podcast this weekend.
“When I first was an assemblyman, they wanted to build a congregate living place for retarded children,” Schumer said Sunday on the “1 NYCHA” podcast. He went on to say he assured the neighborhood that the children were “harmless.”
