@sethcotlar And it was reported by local news, and his opponent's campaign, multiple times...while the world news organs were chasing The Outrage Du Jour or giving air time to Trump's grievances and lies (but I repeat myself).
Quite simply, Staten Island's voters were far more interested in Sticking It To The Libs to actually ask who could do the job.
Which is on brand for that part of New York. They're effectively all "second ring" suburbanites and the only issues they care about:
A) Cut my taxes! I don't want to pay for Dark Skinned People's Drug Addictions.
B) Pay more cops! I don't want Someone With Melanin moving into MY Neighborhood and lowering My Property Values!
And the NY State Democratic Party more or less played into their hands.
In Texas an Sri Lanken-American named Rajan Moonsinghe got a gun to protect his home. Suspecting a burglar he stood on his front porch. Cops arrived unannounced & shot him dead in less than 1 sec. And the NRA is silent. This is a trend.
Before Rajan, when cops killed Tamir Rice for a toy gun in an open carry state—NRA was 🤐. When cops killed legal gun owner Philando Castille, NRA was 🤐. But when Rittenhouse killed 2 people, NRA called him " a warrior for gun owners!”
2A doesn't apply to BIPOC.
