Leader Schumer Statement Following Multiple Bomb Threats On His New York Offices

Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement after several of his New York offices received bomb threats from an email with the subject line “MAGA”:

“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.”
