To the editor:

Elise Stefanik continues to carry Donald Trump’s water, pandering to the local police by saying that the police are being treated unfairly. She forgets the countless Black men who were shot and killed by unmerciful bad police. There are many good policemen, but the “BAD APPLES” must be removed from police forces.

Elise Stefanik says that the Democratic Party has not cooperated with the Republicans on police reform legislation when in fact the opposite is true. The Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell and the spineless Republicans who voted to acquit a GUILTY Donald Trump, have blocked everything that the Democratic House has proposed. That is the Trump method of LIE and DENY, criticizing the Democrats and complementing the Republicans.

She has tried to trash Gov. Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic when, in fact, the governor with his excellent staff took a horrible situation with the highest hospitalization and death rate in the country and led New York state to the LOWEST hospitalization and death rate in the nation!

As 50,000 new cases of coronavirus were reported today (a new one-day record), Donald Trump claimed that “it will fade away.” Remember when he said it was an good idea to drink disinfectant to cure the virus?! This is the man that Elise’s Stefanik supports.

We need to elect Tedra Cobb to get us back to truth and sanity. It is up to you, the voter.
