...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 44.33654 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...(D-NY) doubled down on his demands for President Trump to appoint a military "czar" to oversee the distribution of medical supplies to states, providing a list of names Sunday to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
"And they have no one, that I can best tell, in charge of the distribution," Schumer said during an appearance on CNN’s OutFront last week.
He added:
They need one person, a military person, a general who knows how to deal with logistics and order mastering, who knows command and control, you need to place that person, the czar, in charge of both production and distribution of all of [these] kinds of needed equipment and get it to the places that are needed and that have shortages.
Trump has yet to positively respond to Schumer’s plea, contending he does, in fact, have a military figure leading FEMA’s supply chain task force ‐Rear Adm. John Polowczyk.
