Well said. Washington County has many hardworking immigrants working on three year visas with no path to citizenship. Come visit the Slate Valley Museum in Granville to learn the stories of immigrants who were able to settle here. As a result, our community thrived.

I hesitated reading this, not because I thought you might be wrong, but because I knew you would be right.

Not because another republican did another heinous thing, but because I would be reminded of how heinous stefanik has become.

It is not hard to see this, I wish it was perspicacious (Merriam-Webster word of the day) to notice these actions. Whatever the antonym of perspicacious is (ignorance, but it isn't so highfalutin), are her supporters.

What is so sad, the republicans have twisted our core values --- dar I say our cristian values. (I am an atheist but know enough about the bible to know you are supposed to have compassion and care about the downtrodden).

Ultimately the republicans have created a dialog of deception. Doing so by attacking problems, not with solutions, but with a sledgehammer of misrepresentation.

I am not sure if stefanik ever tells the truth.. now it just comes down to the degree of what she is saying is not true.

If you go to any stefanik, and I supposed most republican, social media, you will see droves of the not so perspicacious. I post a lot often with facts and links. Now I suppose those facts and links could be proven wrong... but never are.. Her supporters know but can not present anything resembling facts.

Nor, I suspect, do they want to, they want the adrenaline of their fear. They want to have guns to protect them from the imaginary boogie man. They want to believe no one will replace them, because of their skin color (ignoring they aren’t very smart or lazy)

I think the solution to the country’s problems is to make ignorance illegal. Sure stefanik would be in jail, as would most of her supporters.

Or they could join the rest of us that understand facts, logic and cognitive thinking.
