Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is off the mark when he conflates President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on the issue of gun control.
“I disagree with Mayor Bloomberg, and I thought that was unfair,” Schumer told the Washington Post’s Ed O’Keefe. “Because basically Barack Obama espouses the policies the mayor agrees with or supports. Whereas Romney has opposed.”
Prompted by a raft of deadly summer shootings, Bloomberg has recently criticized the inaction of both parties on the red hot issue.
