(94,077 posts)...should they show up to promote groundbreakings when it produces actual jobs in their state?
Did Lutnick have more business being there than Schumer?
Didn't he crash the event to try and steal the thunder from Biden and Schumer and claim it was a trump achievement?
Didn't Schumer contradict him at the event and give credit to Pres. Biden?
Isn't Seder providing cover for Lutnick here by focusing this false ire on Schumer and diverting from the CHIPS Act that was a DEMOCRATIC achievement which provided the funding for this project?
...Seder is not only misrepresenting the event, he's LYING about Schumer, who contradicted Lutnick at the event and gave credit to Pres. Biden for making it possible.

After years of delay, Micron broke ground on its semiconductor manufacturing facility in Clay Friday. Notable speakers included U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. Leonardo Eriman | Senior Staff Photographer
...it's about jobs for New York, Who here is opposed to the CHIPS Act and the jobs it's helping create in states like the senators'?
Who is railing against this Democratic initiative, or actually thinks Lutnick is responsible for it? They need to educate themselves.
Schumer actually CONTRADICTED Lutnick in his remarks, not praise or support:
During ceremonious remarks, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra touted the investment as one of the largest private manufacturing investments in U.S. history, expected to create 9,000 direct jobs and thousands more indirect jobs over the next 20 years.
Were here today because of the core drive from President Trump, Lutnick said. This groundbreaking only got scheduled at the end of December because of the Trump administration.
Schumer, however, praised the federal CHIPS and Science Act passed under former President Joe Biden as a key factor in Microns commitment to central New York. Schumer said the legislation helped allow the federal government to unlock billions of dollars in incentives for semiconductor facilities.
Theres a real future here, a real future in tech manufacturing, Schumer said after the ceremony. Have faith in central New York.

Seder is not only trying to distract from this landmark DEMOCRATIC achievement, but he's demagoguing Schumer like he demagogued Biden, Harris, and Schumer on Gaza.
That isn't Democratic advocacy, it's the same kind of ratfucking Seder did in the presidential election.
Principle? Really?
