Delgado’s in a pickle
After backing the “Green New Deal” on the campaign trail, Antonio Delgado is facing intense pressure from the left to make good on his word.
Just last week a group of protesters rallied outside his office demanding he sign on to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s loony government takeover of the U.S. economy, which calls for the elimination of all fossil fuel energy production, rebuilding every building in America, banning 99% of cars and abolishing airplanes.
So now Delgado has a choice to make – will he sell out Hudson Valley voters by signing on to a socialist takeover of the U.S. economy, or will he go back on the campaign promises he made to the radical environmentalists literally protesting at his door?
NRCC Comment: “When it comes to the Green New Deal, Antonio Delgado has no good answer. He’s either signing on to a radical plan that will kill jobs and raise taxes, or breaking a campaign promise. Rough.” – NRCC Spokesman Michael McAdams.
