New York GOP Rep. Mike Lawler blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his support of the Big Apple’s controversial congestion pricing plan – calling the Democrat “full of s–t.”

Lawler delivered his scathing remark after Schumer posted a video on social media Tuesday night calling Republican lawmakers “crazy” for proposing a measure that would slap annual fees on all automotive vehicles – including a $20 surcharge on all passenger cars.

“Of all the crazy things Republicans want to do, now they want a car tax?!” a frustrated Schumer said while barreling toward the camera, his video posted to X showed.

The New York Democrat then slapped his hands together and said, “Hell no.”

The proposal would also charge electric car owners a $200 annual registration fee and impose a $100 yearly cost on hybrid vehicles, according to Politico. 

Lawler re-shared Schumer’s bizarre video and called out his hypocritical critique after he lauded the divisive tolling program that hits drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street with a $9 fee.

“I’m against the car tax. I’m also against congestion pricing, which you support!” Lawler said in a post on X.

“For reference, the proposed car tax would charge everyone $20 a year. Congestion pricing charges everyone $9 per day – or upwards of $2,500 a year.”

The congressman then called Schumer “completely full of s–t.”

The congestion pricing program, which is the first of its kind in the nation, went into effect in January with the hopes of alleviating gridlock on New York City’s busiest streets and securing a whopping $15 billion from tolls to put toward MTA capital projects. 

Passenger cars are forced to fork over $9 during peak hours, with motorists charged $2.25 during all other times to enter Manhattan’s busiest neighborhood south of 60th Street. 

Small trucks are charged $14.40 during peak hours – 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends – while larger trucks are charged $21.60.

Those without an E-ZPass are fined a much higher cost. 

While the Biden administration greenlit the congestion tax as part of a Department of Transportation pilot program, Trump has sharply criticized the program and taken legal measures to kill it. 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was also warned by the Trump administration that the Empire State would lose billions in federal funding for roadway construction projects if she continued to buck orders from Trump officials to stop the tolls.
