| As federal workers miss their first paycheck and New Yorkers across the state brace for more expensive groceries and skyrocketing health care premiums, Mike Lawler isn’t in Washington trying to reopen the government – he’s bringing MAGA extremist Ted Cruz home with him to rub elbows with high dollar donors in Rockland.
Yes, that Ted Cruz – the anti-abortion, election-denying, far-right senator who literally led a government shutdown of his own in efforts to destroy the Affordable Care Act.
As Mike Lawler unleashes a health care crisis of his own on the Hudson Valley, it’s no wonder Ted Cruz traveled all the way to Lawler’s district to prop up his fellow Trump lackey’s extremist campaign.
Lawler’s embrace of MAGA poster boy Ted Cruz, who fought to repeal the Affordable Care Act and rip health care away from Americans for more than a decade, only further proves his eagerness to rubber stamp Donald Trump’s out-of-touch agenda, regardless of how it hurts Hudson Valley families.
DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“As federal workers miss paychecks and New Yorkers prepare to miss meals due to Republicans’ shutdown, Mike Lawler inviting shutdown crusader Ted Cruz up to rub elbows with big donors is a slap in the face to his constituents. It’s clear who Mike Lawler is standing with – and it’s not Hudson Valley families.” |
