Donald Trump Praises Mike Lawler: “He likes me better now”

Lawler has co-signed Donald Trump’s far-right agenda that’s endangering New Yorkers

Last night, the GOP’s far-right extremist leader, Donald Trump, gave a special shoutout and high praise to fellow MAGA extremist and vulnerable New York Republican Mike Lawler.

Donald Trump’s own words prove Mike Lawler’s loyalty to the GOP’s dangerous agenda to restrict abortion access, raise costs for working families, defund law enforcement, and sabotage bipartisan border security deals:  

“Michael Lawler… He likes me better now than he used to, but I like that because he’s a good man. Great man.”

Lawler’s high praise from Trump is a testament to his long-standing devotion to his extreme, far-right party boss. 

At a recent fundraiser for Donald Trump, where he stood behind a Trump-Vance podium, Lawler called Democratic voters part of “a party that hates this country.” According to LoHud, Lawler also led a political consulting firm that earned “$4 million from a Trump-aligned political action committee.” And Lawler proved in recent reporting that he’s more willing than ever to follow Trump’s dangerous lead to restrict reproductive freedoms, arguing that abortion rights should only be reserved to “a tiny subset of American women.”

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Mike Lawler got an A-plus grade from Donald Trump, further proving his integral role in the GOP’s far-right, dangerous agenda that’s harming New Yorkers. Lower Hudson Valley families will reject Lawler and his extremism in November.”
