… they’re trying to rig the system to ensure that Rep. Elise Stefanik’s House seat doesn’t get filled until this summer. She is expected to resign shortly if she is confirmed as President Donald Trump’s Ambassador to the United Nations.
In a state that wasn’t corrupt to its core, the seat would be filled by legal means worked out well in advance. But this is the Empire State, where things are done differently:
New York Democratic lawmakers are working to keep Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik’s House seat vacant until the summer in an unprecedented move hashed out during late-night discussions last week, a Republican Empire State assemblyman told Fox Digital.
“We still haven’t seen the final proposal from the Democrats in Albany, but there’s no doubt that Tammany Hall corruption is alive and well in the state capital,” Republican New York Assemblyman Matt Slater, who represents the state’s 94th district in areas of Putnam and Westchester counties, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive Zoom interview on Sunday morning.
