he campaigns with her.. but I agree...

Saranac Laker - Matt Scollin once promoted himself as a progressive and a democrat. But, the son of dishonest Ray Scollin, revealed he worked for stefanik.. and seemingly also stands with her

The only thing I can assume is that stefanik has a lot of dark money to toss around..

Doesn't cost you much to take it --- just your morals

I think it’s tough for local media to fact check her consistently because she does it all the time.

Treasonous, hypocritical Stefanik should be voted out of office by those who know the facts!

Where is Dan Stec in all of this? Besides dead silent.

He is standing right next to her.. and campaigning on her stench. I want to be Stec, is a good guy, he appeared to be... but once you become one with stefanik --- you have sold your soul

I suspect is waiting obediently in the wings hoping to be her successor. That is not leadership, it is cowardice.

elise stefanik is a liar.. but I appreciate your restraint.

As a retired editor or a newspaper that has covered stefanik though her eight years of evil, you could have told of the times

• her subordinates verbally attacked the Post-Star

• the same subordinates encouraged radicals to attend her rallies, with the hopes they too would verbally attack constituents and medial

• how she would NOT take the 'no lie pledge' (one of the things that I found to be most amusing since she could have done what she eventually did do, lie and say she would not lie.. Once you accept she is a liar, you have to also know... that is an endless supply of lies)

• she stands with the big lie -- and the destruction of democracy

• she stands with the man who liked 30K times and that just as president

And what should stand out the most, and is the egregious if not dangerous act of she standing by while she allowed a man to create an environment of ignoring reality in the name of 'fake news'

Anything stefanik says, should be fact checked.. and still assume she is lying

What I really love is all the people who blame President Biden for the price increase (which according to them he alone caused) but won't credit Joe for the decline.

The knots they tie themselves into so they don't have to give credit is insane.

You will be able to read about her attacks on The Post-Star in my new book “The Last American Newspaper.” It will be released next month.

If presidents could control the economy I suspect times would always be good.

Nothing new in my world . When I was running a local federal agency , we received annually ( without filing a thing ) a grant from HUD that came without any political intervention . Yet Congresswomen Stefanik's office laid claim to being responsible for the grant ( when they were not ). Lied then and continues to lie now . Time for new representation.

Thanks for that insight from someone who saw it first hand.

One of the biggest problems with lies --- not of stefanik, but most politicians -- is that hand that feeds the media. That is to say advertising.

I understand that most keep editorial and advertising separate, but maybe there should be some crossover. of law against when advertising crosses from free speech to out and out lies.

You can tell she's lies when her lips are moving
