Free Republic

In a recent interaction on Twitter Space, Gorka, a former deputy assistant and counterterrorism advisor to President Donald Trump, provided some tantalizing clues about the potential VP pick: a male former New York politician who is currently campaigning with Trump.

Former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin on Monday endorsed former President Donald Trump, becoming the latest current or former Republican lawmaker to back the ex-president ahead of the 2024 primary, The Hill reported. “The GOP is filled with amazing talent to save our country from the failed policies of the Biden Admin,” Zeldin posted on Twitter in a statement shared by the Trump campaign. “Our nominee in 2024 will be the 45th & 47th POTUS, Donald Trump. Our economy will be stronger, our streets will be safer, & our lives will be freer. He has my full support!” .....

A well-timed counterpunch against the duplicitous backstabbing by Ron DeSantis that took place in August of 2022 is delivered by former New York Congressman and former New York Governor candidate Lee Zeldin today. Zeldin endorses Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination:[SOURCE]If you have followed the deep weeds of GOP politics, you already knew this was likely.At a key moment in the New York governor race, in late August of 2022, shortly after the Mar-a-Lago raid, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was scheduled to be keynote speaker at a New York City Zeldin dinner/fundraiser. Before the fundraiser, DeSantis went to pick...

VIDEOShame Pain. It is the pain that breaks out on a face trying to suppress the SHAME someone feels. Such was the case when Jake Tapper heard former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin explain that over the top biased prosecutor Alvin Bragg is NOT the person to bring about the indictment of President Donald Trump over laughably flimsy charges. Basically massaging an expired misdemeanor into a felony. It is the pain of knowing that the FIRST time a former President (and current candidate) has been indicted, it was at the hands of a prosecutor who has a reputation of avoiding...

Poor Lee Zeldin. If only he would have run for governor in a state that still has free and fair elections. The Republican candidate was leading in several polls on election day in New York State but lost to hapless Kathy Hochul, a complete imbecile. Now New York State can continue its death spiral of crime, violence, socialism, and oppressive regulations. Lee Zeldin helped elevate Republican candidates in the state. Lee Zeldin probably helped save the House by bringing four new Republican congressmen-elect across the finish line. We owe him a lot.

There are still plenty of reasons to celebrate what happened in New York — and here they are.To the dismay of many New York conservatives, incumbent Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul defeated Republican challenger Lee Zeldin in the midterm contest. But underneath the disappointing loss is a gubernatorial comeback story and a spate of down-ballot GOP candidates who made a bigger red splash in the Empire State than many other candidates were able to pull off around the country.With 94 percent of the vote tallied, Zeldin trails Hochul by a little over 300,000 votes or 5.6 percentage points. And while this...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is projected to defeat Republican nominee Lee Zeldin and win her first full term in the governor’s mansion. NBC News and ABC News called the race for Hochul shortly after 11 p.m. E.T. Headed into Election Day, Hochul was leading Zeldin, a Trump-endorsed congressional lawmaker, by just a few points. The race was largely seen as a toss-up in the final stretch. Hochul was the lieutenant governor under former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who stepped down last fall amid allegations of sexual harassment and accusations he covered up nursing home deaths during...

A female protester at a Gov. Kathy Hochul rally in Manhattan was choked by a man during a skirmish Saturday evening that also involved a New York City lawmaker, footage shows. The melee occurred near the landmark Stonewall Inn, where the Democratic candidate Hochul was appearing with Bravo host Andy Cohen to shore up LGBTQ support in the days before the gubernatorial election. Footage captured by the independent Viral News NY showed the middle of the altercation, in which a man in shorts and a plaid short-sleeve shirt choked a woman wearing a black sweatshirt. Councilwoman Crystal Hudson, a Democrat...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul brushed off rising crime and claimed challenger Lee Zeldin was “hyperventilating” over the key issue Monday — just hours after two subway riders were stabbed, including a good Samaritan who intervened when he saw a woman getting harassed. During a campaign stop on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Hochul tried to downplay Zeldin’s criticism of her and former President Bill Clinton for “laughing and joking about subway crimes” at an event Saturday. “I say: check the source,” Hochul told reporters outside the West 72nd Street subway station at Verdi Square.

Joe Biden traveled to Westchester County, New York Sunday evening to deliver remarks at a Democrat campaign event. He had no idea what he was saying. He had no idea where he was. During his brief remarks, Old Joe got heckled. Then he tripped and almost fell.

The Biden Administration will be known to history for many things: an open border and its deadly consequences, the abandonment of Afghanistan, weakness that led to catastrophe in Europe, skyrocketing inflation, and the use of federal law enforcement to target political opponents. ... American people must deliver to Joe Biden an unequivocal message: that they refuse to be gaslit, that they are not buying what he is selling. .... Biden’s open border. The reversal of Trump-era border enforcement, and his effective encouragement of illegal border crossings, has led to widespread human suffering. ... Americans are dying, too, as toxic fentanyl...

Zeldin supporter attacked at Hochul event. (Credit: Viral News) In the last days before the election, we’ve been seeing an uptick in violence and threats from folks from people on the left against people on the right over campaigns and the election. We reported on the violence against New Hampshire state Senate candidate Lou Garguilo, who said that he had a truck drive at him and his supporters, someone threw a coffee at him, and another person threw a power tool battery at his wife’s head.There was another incident a few days ago. Scott Lennox was arrested after allegedly...

During A 11/6/22 Speech, Joe Biden Declares He's For "No More Drilling" Just Days Before Midterm Elections

Joe Biden said during an event in New York Sunday there would be 'no more drilling' in the U.S. one day after Joe Manchin blasted him for vowing to close coal plants - while the president nearly took a spill on stage. The president could be heard at one point telling someone in the crowd 'No more drilling. There is no more drilling. I haven't formed any new drilling. No.'

In a Hail Mary attempt to prevent Republican Lee Zeldin from pulling off an upset next Tuesday, Democrat Kathy Hochul’s campaign decided to deploy an army of shrill, hectoring fishwives to stump for her in reliably Democrat Manhattan Thursday. And all they managed to do is make Zeldin sound cool. As I mentioned earlier this week, the panicked Hochul held a rally featuring the unpopular Kamala Harris and the equally unpopular Hillary Clinton. And during the event, Democrat Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney referred to Lee Zeldin as “Mr. No, Mr. Darkness.” When “New Yorker” reporter Erin Durkin tweeted Maloney’s quote...

Gov. Kathy Hochul was called out about the state’s out-of-control crime surge on MSNBC — of all places — where an anchor on the ultra-liberal network even told her “we don’t feel safe.” “Here’s the problem. We don’t feel safe, you might be working closely with Mayor Adams, you may have spent a whole lot of money but I walk into my pharmacy and everything is on lockdown because of shoplifters,” said anchor Stephanie Ruhle during her interview with Hochul on her show “The 11th Hour” Friday. “I’m not going in the subway. people don’t feel safe in this town....

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is hopeful that Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) will beat Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) on Tuesday so that he can advance his initiatives on crime and public safety, the New York Post reported. Although Adams has publicly endorsed and campaigned for Gov. Hochul, three anonymous sources who allegedly have longtime ties to Adams and the New York City Council told the Post that Adams would see more of an opportunity to address crime within New York City if Zeldin were elected governor on Tuesday.

"I was a 40 year Democrat and I'm voting for Lee Zeldin."

The enthusiasm and support for our campaign now surging in from NYC’s Asian American community is incredible. Amazing rally today in Flushing! Their American dream requires government to reverse the attacks on their safety, wallets, freedom and education. #SaveOurState pic.twitter.com/L5qoVpp17c— Lee Zeldin (@leezeldin) November 4, 2022

Democrats aren't just out of touch with America, they're out of touch with their own voters Black voters are concerned about violent crime. Most Americans agree, with one notable exception: White liberals. According to a recent Pew survey of registered voters, 82 percent of black Democrats said violent crime was a "very important" issue in the 2022 election, compared with just 33 percent of white Democrats. Overall, 61 percent of registered voters described violent crime as a very important factor when deciding who to vote for in the upcoming midterm election. The groups least likely to agree with that assessment...
