Sen. Kennedy Grills Olympian Skier Over His Past Tweets Calling to ‘Abolish the Police’: ‘Should We Do that Before or After We Get Rid of Fossil Fuels?’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: “On August 27th, of 2020, you tweeted this, quote -- I'm going to quote, 'Police are paid with taxpayer dollars. If they are not answerable to us, we can demand new service. And that's what this is. Abolish the police in favor of that new service,' end quote. You think we ought to abolish the police, do you?”
SCHUMACHER: “Again, not the topic I'm here to talk about today.”
KENNEDY: “I know but -- but you tweeted it. Do you think we ought to abolish the police?”
SCHUMACHER: “That's not what I'm here to talk about.”
KENNEDY: “Should we do that before or after we get rid of fossil fuels?”
SCHUMACHER: “I'm not going to address that.”
