Tenney uses scare tactics to try to get votes, rather than seeking solutions

Editor:

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, who endorses a sexual predator for President, recently claimed, in a TV ad, that “The invasion at our Southern Border is an existential threat.” Despite this threat, Ms. Tenney refuses to push her colleagues to bring the $118 billion Senate bipartisan border bill to the floor for a debate, let alone a vote. This legislation addresses all of Ms. Tenney’s immigration concerns.

Conservative Senator James Langford, (R-Ok), stated that this bill, if passed, there would be “No more massive caravans of migrants flowing over the border,” and “allows law enforcement in America to control the border.” If the migrant issue at our Southern border is an “existential threat” as she claims, then she is actively working against our national security interest.

More importantly, why is Ms. Tenney using this scare tactic of an “invasion at our Southern border” which she has no interest in solving, for her re-election campaign. The obvious answer is that she has no other issue to run on.

She opposed the Pact Act which provides health care to our veterans who defended and served this country. She voted against capping medication, like insulin, at $35. She wants her constituents to pay exorbitant amounts for needed medication.

She voted against the infrastructure bill that provides jobs in Western New York. She voted against the Chips and Science legislation that moves micro-chip manufacturing from China to the U.S.

Ms. Tenney’s only hope is to scare people to vote for her. She even endorses a sexual predator and grifter for President. Her record shows she is opposed to the financial and security interests of her constituents.
