Sen. Chuck Schumer: Michelle Obama Called on Americans to Not Be ‘Complacent in Any Way’

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says former First Lady Michelle Obama’s speech at Monday night’s Democratic National Convention delivered an important message to Americans.

Schumer, the Senate minority leader, was asked during Tuesday’s CNN interview what the “single message” Obama made was during her virtual convention speech.

“We cannot be complacent in any way, and we have to remove 👤Donald Trump from office and put 👤Joe Biden in and get America moving on so many issues, including fighting the racism that is still so endemic in our society,” Schumer said.

The Senate minority leader continued to praise Obama’s speech as “so powerful.” He then applauded Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) message about unity, which he says he will address during his speech as well on Tuesday.

Asked how he is going to “top” those speeches during his remarks, Schumer responded, “I’m not trying to top it,” and added that he will also touch on immigration.
