Chuck Schumer Apologizes For Calling Disabled Children ‘Retarded’
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer apologized Monday for calling disabled children “retarded” during a recent podcast.
“When I first was an assemblyman, they wanted to build a congregate living place for retarded children — the whole neighborhood was against it,” Schumer said on the podcast. “These are harmless kids. They just needed some help. We got it done. Took a while.”
The Democrat was referring to his time in the New York legislature from 1975 to 1980, Politico reported.

The word “retarded’ has been used for many years to describe someone who is intellectually slow or has Down Syndrome, and is considered by many to be a “hurtful” and offensive term. Former President Barack Obama signed a 2010 law that swapped the phrase “mentally retarded” for the phrase “intellectual disability” in U.S. federal law.
