local newspaper that once endorsed Stefanik lowers the boom;



EDITORIAL: Stefanik is sacrificing her integrity

Things have changed for Stefanik, who now embraces a bad president to safeguard her job. She no longer gets flustered by tough questions — mostly, she doesn’t give anyone the chance to ask them. Instead, she parrots the Trump line on Fox News and lets her attack-dog spokesman argue with reporters on Twitter.

If her integrity has been sacrificed, that isn’t worth a shrug. She calls for the whistleblower to be outed and avoids talking about the way Trump held military aid to Ukraine hostage to his demand for an investigation of Joe Biden.

She will differ with Trump’s policies here and there. But when it comes to critical questions of presidential character and patriotism and job performance, she is a loyal mouthpiece for Trump’s talking points.

Yeah, it was an edge of the seater, back when the Blue Wave moderates helped invaluably, to get us the Democratic House Victory.. and ensure these Impeachment Inquires that are going on right Now!

There seem to be a lot of them on Fox News. So a few bucks fixes her "not blonde" problem.

when someone is stroking his ego, and Stefanik has really been stroking his ego lately. She's become one of his most stalwart toadies, right along with Graham, Nunes, Jordan, Kennedy etc. I don't know what she thinks Trump is going to do for her, he's moving to Florida and she'll be stuck in northern New York without a Congressional position.

Who knows where these GOPers will end up? Too many of them keep getting reelected, but that is a finite number of spots.

Fox Noise only has so many slots as well.

I lived in Hudson Falls, about 3 miles from Glens Falls, and the Post Star was THE local paper.
I'm glad to hear they have come out against this Trump toadie.
