Thank you Ken. I agree with your every word. But voters in Rep. Stefanik's district also bear responsibility. Those who continue to vote for her are accepting her lies and reinforcing her behavior. What I don't get is how Rep. Stefanik reconciles her role as a parent and congressperson. Does she teach her son that lying is the key to success? I certainly hope not. Does she teach him right from wrong? I hope so. My hope is that some day (soon), Rep. Stefanik will level with voters like (I hope) she levels with her son. If she doesn't, voters should respond accordingly. Thank you for calling her to task.

These are random comments about Elise. Elise Stefanik was never a moderate. She knew how to position as one. The kid who recorded Tedra had shown up at several events prior to that particular event. Opposition research during my very short-lived campaign against her uncovered the fact that she had acquired several website domains including, stefanikforsenate, stefanikforgovernor, stefanikforvicepresident and steranikforpresident. You might be able to prove me wrong, but in 2019 that was information gathered on her. I've said this before and I'll say it again, as the Rep whip under Paul Ryan, she knew how to vote to insure her appearance as a moderate. During my tenure as Supervisor, she once left a message on my phone asking for my support. Like her, I never returned the call. Within days of announcing my candidacy for Congress back in 2019, the Town Clerk received a FOIL request for all my emails, and other information about me. In the early days, she would request an exist at her public events in order to avoid having to walk through a group of people. She is deliberate in her actions, is, and always has been, power hungry to the extreme, has no genuine regard for her constituents, has bamboozled enough voters to remain in office and will, undoubtedly, be reelected. I sound like a fatalist, but I can't imagine anyone winning against her. As I've said before, I don't believe she was ever a true moderate, but I do appreciate your continuing pieces about her. If "you know who" is the Rep nominee in 24, either she or Nikki Haley will be the VP choice. So much for my early morning rant. Happy Holidays everyone!
