Is there some kind of award for the House Republican who sounds the Trumpiest? Because Rep. Claudia Tenney seems to want it, and she’s willing to be really disgusting to win:
A couple quick reminders: Tenney, a Republican from New York, recently said that former White House secretary Rob Porter’s wife-beating wasn’t a “crime of character.” She also said that, while Democrats who didn’t clap for Donald Trump’s State of the Union may not have been treasonous, “I would say it was un-American. And they don’t love our country.” I guess in her world, not accusing your political opponents of treason for their applause habits makes you a responsible adult.
Last summer, Tenney also attacked her likely Democratic challenger, state Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi, for having mafia ties, ostensibly because of his father’s long-ago work as a criminal defense lawyer, but just as likely to attach the laziest possible attack to a guy with an Italian name. She’s a peach, she is.
Claudia Tenney needs to go! Can you chip in $3 to the Democratic nominee fund for New York's 22nd Congressional District?
