52 new measles cases in New York driving outbreak nation-wide
When asked where she stood on mandatory vaccinations by Buzzfeed’s Alexis Levinson, Nicole Malliotakis said: “Well, that’s like a random question for this conversation. […] I haven’t really thought about [it].”
Really?
Let us remind you that according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the measles outbreak in New York drove another increase across the U.S. in an already historically bad year for the disease.
Long story short, Kevin McCarthy’s handpicked candidate for NY-11, a perennial campaigner and failed Mayoral candidate has no clue what’s going on in her own backyard.
“It’s truly incredible that in the face of the largest measles outbreak in generations, Nicole Malliotakis can’t give a straight answer about whether she thinks people should get vaccinated,” said DCCC Spokesperson Christine Bennett. “Hedging on measles in the midst of a health crisis right in her own backyard is disqualifying and today we learned who Nicole Malliotakis really is – a calculating politician who can’t be trusted on health care. The fact that Nicole Malliotakis was recruited by GOP leader Kevin McCarthy tells you all you need to know about Washington Republicans.”
