Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin just couldn’t catch a break Friday on the campaign trail where he fell into the crosshairs of a so-called Flat Earther less than a day after escaping an attack from an unhinged Army vet.
“We’re being lied to. So NASA uses CGI animation. Are you aware of this? So the blue marble that everybody thinks is Earth that was made on a computer,” a man who identified himself as a US Navy veteran, said to Zeldin at a press conference in Watertown in the North Country.
The Long Island congressman soon set the apparent crank straight about geographical facts first unearthed by Copernicus during the Renaissance centuries ago.
“So personally, I strongly disagree. I believe that the Earth is round. And I’ve traveled the Earth. I’ve seen it from the sky as you’re traveling on a flight abroad, the Earth is clearly round. I mean it’s 100% indisputable,”
He then thanked the unidentified man for his service before moving on to another question from a reporter.

Actor Terence Howard firmly believes that 1x1=2. He says he has proved this to be true. So there.
Show him a 1X1 grid.
If the flat earthers are being thrown at him, you know they’re scared! :>)
I travelled through towns in the catskills and also midwestern New York this weekend...they support Zeldin there unashamedly. But, the city will negate that support...or will it?
It does seem kind of coordinated, doesn’t it?
Probably just a coincidence.
...a man who identified himself as a US Navy veteran, said to Zeldin..
What is up with these NY veterans....are both (accosters) truly vets?
What is in the water?
Prayers up, for all.
>> a man who identified himself as a US Navy veteran,
Amazing the vet’s ship didn’t sail off the edge.
Looks like the Rats have a few confused vets on the payroll.
By the way, look carefully at the above NASA photo. In western Africa you can see a small black dot. That’s where Elvis is hiding out.
"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE IF THE EARTH IS FLAT?"
A Skype call with someone 12 timezones away. By triangulating 2 points on earth with the sun By looking through Galileo’s telescope at other planets. a Foucault pendulum.
I wouldn’t put anything past Alvin and the chipmunk.
Not good when a politician feels compelled to defend why the Earth isn’t flat. :-)
A couple explained to me yesterday the 9-11 destruction of the NY towers was all an illusion done by halograms. They really believe that.
Man that is nuts, flat earth?
Geez!
Are we really supposed to believe that a navy vet spent years looking out over the sea, seen the obvious curvature of the ocean tops, and thinks the earth is flat?
The Dims are getting desperate.
Is Elvis there with Jimmy Hoffa?
Governor of Nutville
If the Earth is round, why are all the maps flat???
