COMMENTARY: Stefanik letter does nothing to address the threats

On Oct. 10, I sent a message to Rep. Elise Stefanik.

It wasn’t a formal letter, but it was a direct message to her after she showed support for a local man who shouted threats against the newspaper at a public rally in Glens Falls.

I explained to her in the message that the threats against the newspaper had made many of the men and women who work at our newspaper – from the receptionist and obituary clerks to those in our advertising department – nervous about their safety.

I asked her to denounce the actions of this man, who was a vocal supporter of hers, and I urged her to visit the newspaper to explain to the regular workers with families why she had put them in danger.

She held a town hall meeting in Kingsbury that day, but she did not stop by the newspaper.

I wanted to laugh about this, until it occurred to be how dangerous she's become...

She has a challenger, Tedra Cobb if you want to stop by her site.

1. Yeah, she's a devout nazi.

2. This will lose her a significant amount of votes.

Her district is purple-to-red, but the purple North Country citizens won't appreciate this at all.

5. I agree

3. I got that same letter, with my formal name crossed out

And my first name written in script by a computer. But what really ticked me off was the letter itself trashes Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi. The unhinged diatribe goes on for three pages but here's a snippet:

"Nothing infuriates liberals like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi more than having a conservative woman like me stand up and call them out for their pathetic, petty partisan games."

Well I'm a liberal and nothing infuriates me more than a fundraising letter from a shrill, trash-mouthed carpetbagging liar and the return envelope isn't even pre-paid. How clueless is their fundraising campaign for targeting me?

4. She's got to be pretty desperate if she's now targeting Democrats

She's got to realize she's in trouble after all the protests in front of her local office, she already refuses to post her schedule ahead of time since she knows protesters will show up. But instead of listening to the voters in her district who are obviously mad as hell, she's now totally on board with Trump. Without her mentor, Paul Ryan, she's on her own and has taken the worst turn possible.
