Chuck Schumer aims to protect #NetNeutrality, KNOCKS OUT Gov. Terry McAuliffe by accident

Shot…

Sen. Chuck Schumer is no fan of the lifting of Net Neutrality rules, tweeting today that the Internet “may start to resemble a toll road, with the highest bidders cruising along private ‘fast lanes’ while the rest of us inch along a single, traffic choked public lane”:

If #NetNeutrality is eliminated, the Internet may start to resemble a toll road, with the highest bidders cruising along private “fast lanes” while the rest of us inch along a single, traffic-choked public lane.

Chaser…

Does he mean like his good buddy, Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia, actually did with the I-66 toll road?

This morning the toll to use I-66 was over $36. One of @TerryMcAuliffe's "proudest accomplishments" https://t.co/IaB65cfhUN https://t.co/lxWUTA3J97

Over to you, Chuck. Please explain:

Wait, if this is so terrible for the Internet, why is okay for roads? https://t.co/S26cjWLNZW

Soooo you're saying we need to eliminate toll roads then? Cause I don't think @TerryMcAuliffe agrees with you…. https://t.co/sVWZYmXw53

Yay! Chuck Schumer and the Democrat party is advising the immediate abolishment of all US toll roads. It’s about time. Thanks, Chuck. https://t.co/GRXcDvQGZO

Of note, there are lots of toll roads in New York, too:

If tolls are so bad, then why are they so expensive in New York? https://t.co/PVMPE8ClrF

Well, to be fair to Chuck, he probably doesn’t know much about toll roads anyway:

Honestly, @SenSchumer just isn't that familiar with toll roads.https://t.co/2laaMMs6oL

Or commercial flights for that matter:
