Are they his buds? If so, it is an ethics violation.

It was purely political.
There would have been no 'endorsement' had the vicious leftists not lashed out at Ivanka.
The 'endorsement' was more of an off-hand political retort than it was an endorsement for financial gain.
You could say it was a little motivated by trying to lessen the financial impact of the political attack.

The truth? Politicians can endorse a restaurant. I see no issue there. If they are endorsing the restaurant of a friend or family member, then that is a bit different. If Schumer went on CNN and told everyone to go buy comedy club tickets for Amy's show, that would be a violation. He probably wouldn't do that though, because he is a lot smarter than Conway.

Yes, it literally says friends and family.

edit: it's not limited to friends and family, obviously, but unless the owner of Stella's has ties to Schumer through nonprofits or other business relations then it's not a violation

there goes chucky's restaurant.
At least Ivanka and KAC are affiliated in a governmental capacity.

Are you willfully ignorant, or just a liar?

You are grasping so hard. It's really funny watching you flounder like this. Please keep going.

why?

stupid fricking aggie.
Neither is a big deal in the grand scheme, but the former is much more blatant.

i dont need to defend Chucky Schumer's tweeting. Yet here you are, doing just that
Posted on 2/13/17 at 2:52 pm to CptBengal
I'm not here to defend him. I'm here to point out your comparing what he did to what KAC did is apples to oranges. Sorry you're wrong.

It's apples to apples. Both are technically illegal, but neither a big deal.
Tell me how they are different?
