Recruitment Fail: Dems back anti-police socialist in NY-17
This morning, Democrat Liz Whitmer Gereghty suspended her campaign for New York’s 17th Congressional District.
Democrats are now all in behind their likely nominee, extreme progressive Mondaire Jones.
If you need a refresher, radical socialist Mondaire Jones:
- supports Medicare-for-all and the Green New Deal.
- has backed calls to defund police departments, along with the abolition of cash bail.
- In his own words, “Congress must cease all funding that militarizes police forces, repeal the 1994 Crime Bill that accelerated mass incarceration, and abolish cash bail…”
- And he said that dismantling White supremacy involves “moving funding away from police departments…”
- deleted an antisemitic post after catching fire.
- And last but not least, supports packing the Supreme Court and cosponsored court packing legislation.
“New York Democrats are demonstrating just how out of touch they are with everyday voters by backing a radical socialist, who wants to open our borders and defund the police,” said CLF Communications Director Courtney Parella. “Voters in New York are looking for a common-sense leader like Mike Lawler to represent their interests in Washington, not a progressive socialist like Mondaire Jones, who will absolutely put his extreme agenda over what New Yorkers want.”
