Moment heckler interrupts Schumer's NYC presser to call him a 'racist anti-Semite' and tell him that she loathes him so much she got 'sexually excited watching him hide under his desk at the Capitol'

A heckler told Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer that she got 'sexually excited' while watching him cower under a desk during last week's riot at the US Capitol.

The woman interrupted Schumer during his press conference in Manhattan on Tuesday. During the encounter, she is heard calling Schumer, who is Jewish, a 'racist, anti-Semite'.

'You're nothing but a coward. Seeing you hide under your desk, I actually got sexually excited over it. That's how much I loathe you. That's how much I'm glad what they did.' 

The woman also accused the New York senator of following the 'socialist' practices of Adolf Hitler.

Schumer said the violence at the Capitol showed the need for the Senate to swiftly confirm Joe Biden's national security team on the first day of his administration

'Remember this, Adolf Hitler was a socialist and that's exactly who you follow,' the woman screamed. 

As the woman continued to rant about the Capitol riot, Schumer's security was seen trying to get her to leave. 

'As long as there’s unrest, there’s going to be unrest in these streets, I don’t give a sh*t whether you believe me,' she yelled. 

'Six feet! Six feet! Stand down! Stand down! Stand down!' she screamed. 

The violence at the Capitol erupted on Wednesday following President Donald Trump's Save America rally.  

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died from his injuries sustained during the riot after he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher.  

A second member of the Capitol Police, Howard Liebengood, was on duty on Wednesday and died by suicide on Saturday. 

Four rioters also died - one woman shot by Capitol Police, and three during medical emergencies. One of those was apparently trampled in the melee.

Schumer said the violence at the Capitol showed the need for the Senate to swiftly confirm Joe Biden's national security team on the first day of his administration.

Schumer said in a letter to colleagues that the deadly Capitol riot was 'one of the darkest days in all of American history'.

He said Biden will need 'key national security positions on Day One'.

The Senate often confirms some nominees on Inauguration Day, January 20, but this year the Senate will also likely be convening Trump's impeachment trial. 

The House is set to impeach Trump this week on a sole charge of inciting insurrection in the violent riot.

Schumer wants the chamber to swiftly take up those nominees for secretary of defense, secretary of homeland security, secretary of state, attorney general, and others.

The Democrat outlined the party's agenda, vowing to push ahead on Democratic priorities.

Schumer has also called on the FBI to add anyone identified breaching the Capitol during last week's violent riot to the federal no-fly list.

He sent a letter Tuesday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, saying the attack on the Capitol as Congress was voting to affirm President-elect Joe Biden's win was 'domestic terrorism'.

He said those who stormed the Capitol should qualify as 'insurrectionists for the No-Fly List.'

Schumer told Wray that they must also be fully prosecuted to the full extent of federal law. 

The federal no-fly list is part of the US government's Terrorist Screening Database and prohibits anyone who 'may pose a threat to civil aviation or national security' from boarding a commercial aircraft. 

Generally, in order to be placed on the list, the government must have information that the person presents 'a threat of committing terrorism' to the aircraft or the US homeland or US facilities.

The no-fly list is one of the government's most controversial post-September 11 counterterrorism programs.

Trump has taken no responsibility for his role in fomenting the violent insurrection at the US Capitol last week.

Speaking to reporters before traveling to Texas on Tuesday, Trump says his remarks to supporters last week were 'totally appropriate'.

Minutes before his supporters stormed the Capitol, Trump encouraged them to march on the seat of the nation's government where lawmakers were tallying Electoral College votes affirming Biden's victory. 

Trump, for months, had also spread baseless claims that the November election was fraudulent, despite his own administration's findings to the contrary.

As rioters were still in the Capitol, Trump released a video seemingly excusing the events, saying of the rioters: 'We love you. You're very special.'

Trump also told reporters that the prospect of impeachment is causing 'tremendous anger' in the nation. But he said he wants 'no violence'.

The president said it's 'a really terrible thing that they're doing.' But he said, 'We want no violence. Never violence'.
