🫣 NOT READY FOR PRIMETIME: Jeanine Driscoll Stumbles Through Newsmax Interview, Accidentally Praises Her Opponent

The NY-04 Republican stammered, applauded Laura Gillen’s record, and told Long Islanders their gas prices aren’t an issue

If this is Jeanine Driscoll’s best case for Congress, her campaign is in deep trouble.

This past weekend, Driscoll sat down for a five minute interview with Newsmax in an attempt to make her case to Long Island voters. Instead, she spent those five minutes showing Nassau families that she can’t string together a coherent answer, let alone represent them in Congress.

Asked about Laura Gillen’s record, Driscoll made the case FOR her opponent:

ā€œSo, what she’s done is voted for every single tax cut, any kind of tax relief for the district – and which she ran onā€¦ā€

Most candidates know not to read their opponent’s accomplishments on live television. But we’re not complaining!

When the conversation turned to the cost of living in Nassau, Driscoll showed just how out of touch she is:

ā€œI have to tell you, when I’m out on the campaign trail, people really are not complaining that much about the price of gas,ā€ said Driscoll. ā€œObviously, groceries are still somewhat expensive.ā€

Meanwhile, recent Newsday reporting reveals that the high cost of living on Long Island is making some families question whether they can afford to stay there.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
ā€œAfter painfully stumbling through answers and even talking up Laura Gillen’s record, the only thing Jeanine Driscoll truly seems sure of is her promise to vote with Donald Trump 100% of the time, no matter what it costs Nassau families. If Driscoll can’t get through a five-minute interview, she has no business representing Long Island in Congress.ā€
