Senator Chuck Schumer got a rude awakening Sunday at the New York City LGBTQ Pride parade when the far-left crowd turned on him, with a loud chorus of boos.
Footage from the parade shows Schumer walking as boos erupt from the crowd.
Schumer has spent years trying to promote himself as a strong ally to the movement, pushing seemingly endless progressive legislation on gender, same-sex marriage, and other LGBTQ-focused policies.
Despite the frigid response to his presence, Schumer busted out a megaphone and addressed the crowd.
“I was the first senator to ever march in this parade. 1999. I haven’t missed one yet,” he declared.

Despite that record, the far-left base at one of the biggest Pride events in the country made it clear they no longer see him as one of their own.

The incident comes as the Democrat Party continues to be split between its establishment wing and an increasingly radical activist base.
Schumer, who has held leadership positions for years, has faced growing criticism from the left for not being progressive enough on several fronts.
The boos at Sunday’s parade and the state’s Democrat primary last week have sent a clear message that not even longtime allies are safe from the far-leftists consuming the party.
