Sen. Chuck Schumer is speaking out after several of his New York offices, including the one in Binghamton, received bomb threats on Monday.
Schumer said that his offices in Binghamton, Rochester and Long Island received bomb threats via email with the subject line MAGA.
According to Schumer, law enforcement conducted security sweeps and everyone was safe at the offices.
The New York Senator condemned political violence while thanking law enforcement for their quick response.
Here is Schumer’s complete statement:
“This morning, I was informed by law enforcement entities throughout New York of multiple bomb threats that were made at my offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island with the email subject line “MAGA” and from an email address alleging the “2020 election was rigged.” Local and federal law enforcement responded immediately and are conducting full security sweeps. Everyone is safe, and I am grateful for their quick and professional response to ensure these offices remain safe and secure for all New Yorkers.
“As I have said many times, these kinds of violent threats have absolutely no place in our political system. No one—no public servant, no staff member, no constituent, no citizen—should ever be targeted for simply doing their job.”
