NY Democrat Mondaire Jones' comeback bid threatened by Israel tensions and GOP "stealth operation"
#MondaireJones
His opponent (R)Mike Lawler has complained about Republicans being called "fascists" at length, including prominently on “Face the Nation.” However, he has repeatedly called Jones a “socialist.” Jones told Salon that he was “comfortable” standing with Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly and General Mark Milley in calling Trump a "fascist." https://www.salon.com/2024/10/31/ny-democrat-mondaire-jones-comeback-bid-threatened-by-israel-tensions-and-stealth-operation/ #VoteBlue2024

Does he agree with ALL the vile sentiments expressed there today?

Rep. Mondaire Jones decided to run
From a faraway Hudson Valley town
Though the stakes were high
He chose the City
To represent a bigger renown
