2. I'm sorry to say that she's my Rep and I could never figure out how she was reelected

Since she was first elected there have been constant protests, in fact she refused to publicize her schedule ahead of time since she knew protesters would show up. And this was before she went totally off the rails and went full on Trump! I guess she liked the attention she got when she appeared alongside Gym Jordan at the first impeachment hearings...

And on MSNBC they described this district, NY-21, as a "moderate Republican" district. But the truth is that she succeeded retiring long time congressman Bill Owens who was a moderate Democrat. I made GOTV calls for his chosen successor, Aaron Woolf.

3. What is with these upstate NY Pols? Ambition must be catching.

So many parallels with her and Gillibrand. A door opens, an idea for higher visibility and power forms in the brain, and viola, and the door is not just opened, it's banged open as a once moderate republican becomes a new, extreme trumper sycophant shouldering Liz Cheney, who took a stand on truth, aside.

Something in the water up there?
