Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) waved the flag of communist China over the weekend in New York City after the organizers of the city’s Chinese Lunar New Year Parade played China’s national anthem.
National Review reported that the incident happened on Sunday and that Schumer appeared on stage with “Huang Ping, a hard-line Chinese ambassador who publicly denies Beijing’s human-rights abuses, and Wu Xiaoming, a senior consular official linked to China’s secret police station in New York.”
While the Chinese national anthem was playing, Schumer briefly held his hand over his heart. He later picked up the Chinese flag with one hand and the American flag with the other and waved both flags.
