Jedediah New 117Th Congress
is set to convene today, but one
house seat remains undecided
in New Yorks 22Nd
congressional District, GOP
challenger. Claudia Tenney now
leads democratic incumbent,
Congressman Anthony Rendisi by a
razor thin margin by twenty nine votes.
We have Claudia Tenney
talk about a heated race,
your race still has it been
decided,
give us the why? What were
waiting to hear and what you
think will happen?
Thank you so much for having
me on for everyone across the
country and my region who
supported us.
This is a long journey.
Sadly, we wont be seat offed
today for the opening of
117Th Congress.
This district will go without a
representative until the judge
makes a final decision on the
disputed ballots that are left
in the count.
We feel positive that if, when
the judge finally gets this
decision done im sure there
will be appeals process well, be
seated,
unfortunately, not in time to
start the session today and not
in time to actually deal with
the rules package that
Nancy Pelosi has proposed, which
is something that I would like
to be there to vote against.
There is just a lot of issues
here,
unfortunately, were at the mercy
of the judge at this point:
Jedediah yeah,
Claudia. Obviously, it is very
challenging to have a delay this
long
im sure you would be eager to
want to start the job.
I want to ask you about some of
the issues affecting
new Yorkers. One of the things
that New Yorkers are really
passionate about. Right now is
disgust frankly with Cuomos
leadership and Bill De Blasio,
although well stick to Cuomo
right now, and the latest problem
theyre see something this
botched vaccine rollout where
New York has many more vaccines,
theyre able to distribute yet
theyre not being distributed to
people.
What is your comment on that,
as well as other issues that
have come up in Andrew Cuomos
leadership or track thereof?
This is typical of Andrew
Cuomo.
I served six years in the
New York State Assembly, Andrew
Cuomo, while still a governor and
still us. Unfortunately,
this is typical, Cuomo
gamesmanship.
He likes to create chaos and
then blame everybody else for
it.
He is the reason that the
vaccines are not being
distributed.
He is prioritized heroin addicts,
while im sympathetic to people
with addiction first responders
and people vulnerable should be
getting this first.
It is most of the vaccines
havent even been distributed,
yet
he is claiming the
administration isnt sorting
them out.
He wants more vaccine to put
them in storage
when he need to get on the ball.
He really needs to be held
accountable.
As a former member of the
assembly, the media in New York
Sugar coat everything.
Thank you for holding him
accountable
Jedediah. I hate to interrupt.
