Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) was interrupted during a Tuesday press briefing on the Supreme Court vacancy by a heckler who shouted, “Stop lying to the people.”

Schumer addressed a crowd outside the Capitol building, condemning the Republicans decision to move forward with confirming a Supreme Court justice 42 days ahead of the election.

At the time of the interruption, Schumer was criticizing Republicans for their COVID-19 response and discussing the Science Transparency Over Politics (STOP) Act that would create a task force “to report to the public when politics are behind COVID response decisions.”


“We Democrats are fighting as hard as we can to protect Americans,” Schumer said. “And we need Americans –”

“You ain’t doing shit,” the heckler said. “Stop lying to the people. Stop lying to the people.”
