Trump, Tenney birds of a feather
NEW YORK NIGHTS
We write today after watching the season finale of The Trump Show, with the cliffhanger of how long our government will be shut down.
We gasped in horror as our main character sang his support for the “right to life” of the unborn, as bullying Republicans demanded that Democrats choose between health care or deportation for children already living here. What about their rights to quality lives?
Sadly, in their first year of controlling every branch of government President Trump and his GOP minions have only succeeded in enriching their wealthiest cronies while trashing America’s reputation as trusted leader of the free world.
Meanwhile our local GOP minion, Rep. Claudia Tenney, voted Trump’s wishes on the government shutdown. This is hardly surprising, as she voted his position on 96.8 percent of the issues during their first season together. In a community that has seen the value of immigration, Tenney stands with a party that represents suppression…of truth, of voting rights, of a free press, of diversity. We could go on.
On Nov. 6 we’ll dissent by voting for Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi to represent our district in Congress, and tell Claudia and her fellow Republicans, “You’re Fired!”
