Yorktown Voter Exposes Mike Lawler’s MAGA Bootlicking

Despite his repeated promises of bipartisanship, Lawler has put Trump’s toxic agenda over the Hudson Valley at every turn: voting to slash health care for 32,000 of his own constituents, forcing New Yorkers to pay more than triple in health insurance premiums, and leaving hardworking families without food on their tables – all to further his party’s extremist agenda.

Now one of Lawler’s constituents is calling out his hypocrisy, blasting Lawler for “[voting] in lock­step with Don­ald Trump and the ex­treme MAGA fac­tion, of­ten against the in­ter­ests of the peo­ple whom he rep­re­sents here in New York.”

The Yorktown voter calls it how it is: “It is­n’t ig­no­rance; it’s de­lib­er­ate. It’s who he is.”

The Hudson Independent: Congressman Lawler Is Afraid

• Why does Con­gress­man Lawler vote the way he does? There are sev­eral pos­si­ble ex­pla­na­tions for how of­fice hold­ers vote: he might agree or dis­agree with the leg­is­la­tion, have a con­flict of in­ter­est, lack in­for­ma­tion, act against his stated be­liefs, make po­lit­i­cal trades—or vote out of fear.
• Elected on promises of bi­par­ti­san­ship, Con­gress­man Lawler votes in lock­step with Don­ald Trump and the ex­treme MAGA fac­tion, of­ten against the in­ter­ests of the peo­ple whom he rep­re­sents here in New York. His record makes this clear.
• In the State As­sem­bly, Lawler op­posed abor­tion rights and gen­der-af­firm­ing care (S.9039A, S.9077A) and voted against the John R. Lewis Vot­ing Rights Act (S.1046E). In the Big, Beau­ti­ful Bill, Lawler voted to take med­ical in­sur­ance away from many of his own sup­port­ers. These choices align with MAGA pri­or­i­ties, not the bi­par­ti­san stance he once claimed and not the po­si­tion of the ma­jor­ity of the peo­ple in his district.
• Lawler has also lob­bied for the oil and gas in­dus­try, yet he has re­fused to re­cuse him­self from con­gres­sional votes that were aimed at gut­ting green en­ergy in­cen­tives. This is a clear con­flict of in­ter­est. It is­n’t ig­no­rance; it’s de­lib­er­ate. It’s who he is.
• What’s more trou­bling is the con­tra­dic­tion be­tween his pro­fessed faith and his ac­tions. He cites the Bible’s “love thy neigh­bor,” yet votes to cut pro­grams that feed chil­dren, care for the sick, sup­port se­niors, and fund can­cer re­search.
• The truth is sim­ple: Lawler is not bi­par­ti­san. Lawler is not work­ing for the av­er­age Amer­i­can fam­ily. Lawler is work­ing for the key MAGA ob­jec­tives which ob­vi­ously are chaos, im­pov­er­ish­ment, and cru­elty.
• But all of these rea­sons for vot­ing pure MAGA are not the com­plete story.
• Lawler had to aban­don his dream of run­ning for gov­er­nor.
• Con­gress­man Lawler is not only con­trolled by poli­cies of chaos, im­pov­er­ish­ment, and cru­elty—but he’s also con­trolled by a fourth MAGA ob­jec­tive – Trump ret­ri­bu­tion and in­tim­i­da­tion.
• Mike Lawler is afraid.
