Comedian and actress, Amy Schumer took to Instagram to defend her cousin, Senator Chuck Schumer after Donald Trump took a shot at him on Twitter.

The POTUS referred to Senator Schumer as “Fake Tears” in response to a press conference he’d held with fellow Democrat, and House Minority leader, Nancy Pelosi.

This is what he was thinking about at 621am. This was his tweet after his first soldier died. Also 8 Yemeni women and 7 children died and trump called the raid “successful” Also I know chuck Schumer and HE CANNOT act trust me. He can barely smile on cue. He can’t help but be transparent and genuine. He was hurt for those people and all the people facing such unconstitutional injustice. Trump is about to bombard us with so many awful decisions. His Supreme Court pick will be terrifying and he will try and stop same sex adoption and all our other nightmares. We can’t get burnt out or overwhelmed and distracted. We need to stay focused and organized. Tell your friends who say “I’m just not political” that that doesn’t cut it anymore. We need people alert and fighting for each other’s rights. Tell your sheltered friends to wake up and help. If you live somewhere where youve never even met a Muslim person and it feels like this doesn’t really affect you. It does. A Muslim ban is so unconstitutional and cruel. They are good, hard working people and a refugee from the countries he isn’t letting people in from have never committed any acts of terrorism on US soil. Never. We need to fight this now and together. Call congress. Call the senate. We need to wake up and rise up together. People need our help.

No stranger to controversy herself, Amy Schumer is a documented opponent of Trump and his administration. Last year she launched into a scathing diatribe about the then Presidential candidate, where, among other things, she called him “orange, sexual-assaulting, fake- college-starting monster.” Unsurprisingly, a large portion of the Tampa audience was offended and walked out.

This time around she was a tad less ridiculing and a tad more issue-oriented, stating, “Trump is about to bombard us with so many awful decisions. His Supreme Court pick will be terrifying and he will try and stop same sex adoption and all our other nightmares.”

Amy spoke of the Schumer Family connection in a NYT article back in 2013, and honestly, who wouldn’t stick up for family?
