NEW YORK NIGHTS

Claudia Tenney’s beaming smile on the front page of the O-D showed just how happy she was to be sprinkled by President Trump’s toxic pixie dust.

While local media generally ignored mentioning the estimated near-2,000 peaceful protesters who lined Genesee Street, Tenney showed that she couldn’t wait to support Trump’s stunningly cruel policies, intended to benefit wealthy Americans, corporations and Russia. Tenney is proud to be one of those Republican congressional profiles in cowardice who have enabled Trump to steadily move this country towards autocracy. She should be ashamed.

Yet Republican legislators seem incapable of feeling shame, so it’s up to voters to provide the checks and balances that our Constitution prescribes to stop a “wanna-be” despot.

We can deprive Trump of one his guaranteed votes in a closely divided House of Representatives. While Trump has Tenney’s vote, Anthony Brindisi has shown himself to be an independent thinker, not beholden to any lobby, who will vote in the interests of Americans without regard to economic class or blind party loyalty.

Each vote in our district can help flip the House and stop Trump in his tracks. So, on Nov. 6, let’s flip our representative! Vote Tenney out and Brindisi in!
