Congressional lawmakers lambasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) after he attributed his vote against a judicial nominee to the man’s skin color.

In explaining his vote against Marvin Quattlebaum on Wednesday, Schumer said that too many of President Donald Trump’s nominees have been white males. The nomination “speaks to the overall lack of diversity in President Trump’s selections for the federal judiciary,” Schumer said, according to Fox News.
