Don’t diss Long Island — you’ll hear about it in a New York minute.
Republican Sen. John McCain was trying to make a point during debate on a defense bill Wednesday when he said Long Island “sometimes regrettably” was part of the United States. That drew a swift rebuke from Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who took to Twitter to demand an apology.
“All of America saw how heroic Long Islanders were on 9/11. Long Island deserves an apology,” Schumer said.
McCain then stood on the Senate floor to explain it was a joke and referred to “wonderful Long Island.” He also apologized to Schumer — sort of.
