Election Denier Schumer Blasted by Republicans for Stopping Dave McCormick from Senate Orientation

Breitbart reports:

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was criticized by Republicans on Sunday for not allowing Senator-elect Dave McCormick (R-PA) to attend Senate orientation.

Republican lawmakers such as Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), and Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) sharply criticized Schumer for refusing to allow McCormick to attend the Senate orientation due to incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) refusing to concede Pennsylvania's Senate race. The senators noted that it "shows Schumer's true character."

This criticism of Schumer comes as Republican senators have called for Casey to concede the race, as McCormick has maintained a lead over Casey.

"Senator-elect Dave McCormick won," Cotton wrote in his post. "Chuck Schumer's shameful, election-denying decision to block McCormick from Senate orientation shows Schumer's true character."

"Schumer is not allowing @DaveMcCormickPA to participate in Senate orientation this week because Casey refuses to concede the race," Rubio wrote in a post on X. "What happened to all the demands that our leaders accept the outcome of the elections?"

"Chuck is an 'election denier' and this is an 'assault on our democracy,'" Schmitt wrote in his post. "Am I doing this right @chuckschumer? Stop being a baby & take the L."
