Schumer under fire for lack of diversity on Senate staff
New York Post, Jan 12, 2017, Carl Campanile

Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer is getting hit with friendly fire over the lack of diversity in Senate staffers from a veteran black New York party activist with ties to Gov. Cuomo and Al Sharpton.

Charlie King, former executive director of the New York State Democratic Party, plans to stand outside Schumer’s D.C. office to protest the under-representation of minorities employed in top staff positions by Senate Democrats.

King said he’s holding the one-man vigil in honor of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King.

“How can we as Democrats complain about Jeff Sessions being appointed attorney general when our party doesn’t hire minorities? It exposes us as hypocrites,” King told The Post.

“We have to get our own house in order.”

King’s campaign is sure to raise eyebrows.

He served as executive director of Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and was Andrew Cuomo’s running mate for lieutenant governor in 2002, and still has the governor’s ear.
