NEW YORK NIGHTS

Recent days again reveal the cruel hypocrisy of Republicans.

While our nation struggles to cope with the horror of yet another mass school shooting, Republicans instead choose to focus on supporting a proposal by President Trump that would forbid women with unintended pregnancies from hearing anything relating to termination, effectively denying them the full range of their reproductive options. So, the GOP, who insists that unlimited corporate donations to politicians is a cherished form of “free speech,” would deny that same right for women’s health needs.

Cruel hypocrisy, indeed! Similarly, in the wake of the Santa Fe murders, Republicans make superficial mention of mental health, yet squash any talk of gun safety. NRA cash trumps humanity!

The disconnect between Republicans and human decency is repeatedly seen in their rhetoric and their policies. As voters in the 22nd Congressional District of New York state, we can’t directly flush away Trump, Pence, Ryan, McConnell and their swamp of congressional cowards. But we can remove their local minion. Rep. Claudia Tenney proudly stands for these policies of suppression and greed. We can bring compassionate competence back to government by voting for Anthony Brindisi this November.
