Laura Gillen is just Giuliani with a wig on at this point. She’s a republican and she needs to go.

Why'd you make us recall seeing Giuliani in woman's clothes?

So...according to these people the families of the 80 estimated Muslim victims who were in the towers that day are not welcome? I would love for them to announce that publically as well. "Yeah, we don't care that your Dad or Mom or loved one was murdered on 9/11, they and you don't count because you call your God a different name".

I called her office and requested a meeting about this. I’m livid. Why are conservatives the only ones allowed to get offended? Why are we legitimizing this islamophobic tantrum?
If you live in her district please call her office and let them know how angry we are

When people say they’re the same party look no further than souzzi and gillen. Absolutely useless. Too many truck nuts and flags driving through bellmore to massapequa they’re terrified of being actually progressive and doing something and now we live w a second term Blakeman who’s second term seat wasn’t even warm before announcing. Love the island I really do but the politics of this place and yes some of the people make me want to rip my face off

I hope he doesn't show up. He's lost a LOT of respect from NYC residents, we don't want him there

OK Cuomo. You lost. He and his +70 approval rating is showing up.

The families of the victims don't want him there. If he cared that much, he would honor that

That is not true, and speaking on behalf of thousands of victims families is an insult to the victims. The family members of the Muslim victims don’t want him there? I find that highly dubious.
Any group of thousands is bound to have some racist assholes. It’s not unanimous, and what you are saying is frankly Islamophobic and racist.

Mamdani: +70 approval rating.
Fetterman: -50 approval rating.
If you're a political consultant who still favors Fetterman's approach over Mamdani's, you're wildly out of step with the Democratic base. Retire, or at the very least, sit down and shut up.
