That would be a coup if this were to happen come Election Day. No, I’m not talking about a literal coup—just a nice upset win against an anti-Trump zealot.
Still, a Republican winning statewide in deep blue New York for an office that usually doesn’t get much media attention would be a nice scalp for the party this election cycle.
Attorney General Letitia James seemed poised to become a serious gubernatorial candidate in the wake of the groping fiasco that engulfed then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a scandal that became so enveloping that he was forced to resign. James was one of the state officials that took the allegations seriously; her report confirming that Cuomo had engaged in sexual harassment was probably the kill shot to his governorship. Kathy Hochul replaced him and took a strong lead in the polls, which forced James to retreat, opting to run for another term as New York attorney general.
James has openly declared war on Donald Trump, focusing her office’s resources on the former president’s organization for the alleged felonious activity. After the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago on August 8, Trump sat down for a depiction with James’ office about his organization, where he pleaded the fifth. Ms. James has also sued the National Rifle Association for numerous financial misconduct charges. The lawfare against our Second Amendment rights and Donald Trump is enough reason to boot James. Then again, and I’m not saying this is a quality worthy of political salvation, but she has plenty of Democratic allies as well. Besides the Cuomo sexual harassment report, her office also released an analysis noting that then-Gov. Cuomo grossly undercounted the number of COVID deaths in nursing homes.
You’d think James would be a lock for reelection, but a new poll from Trafalgar has Republican attorney general candidate Michael Henry […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
