GOP candidate chickens out of debate for congressional seat to replace Santos

No Queens debate in special election 1

 Queens Chronicle

For weeks former Rep. Tom Suozzi has criticized his opponent, Mazi Pilip, the Republican Party’s nominee in the special election to replace George Santos, for her failure to commit to several televised debates.

The only one the Nassau County legislator has agreed to is one with News12 Long Island, which Queens residents cannot access.

“By hiding and refusing to debate the important issues that Queens voters care about, Mazi Pilip is showing the same lack of transparency that George Santos did,” Kim Devlin, senior advisor to the Suozzi campaign, said in a statement. The campaign also noted that the News12 debate is set for Feb. 8 — five days after early voting is set to begin.

While Suozzi, a Democrat, has repeatedly asked on social media and in press releases, “What is she hiding?” her failure to respond to requests from Telemundo and NY1 — as both outlets have confirmed (Suozzi says she has not responded to WABC, either, but the outlet did not answer the Chronicle’s inquiry) — to participate in their debates poses another question: Why would a candidate who is new to the Queens Republican scene not want to make herself known to roughly a third of the district’s voting population?

Aidan Strongreen, Pilip’s campaign manager, replied to that question just before the new year by saying Pilip “has opened a productive and enjoyable dialogue with the media and the public” on the issues, and that she is “interacting with many residents from Queens, and is accessible to people throughout the 3rd District.”

Pressed further on why Pilip has not accepted several debate invites, communications director Brian Devine told the Chronicle via email Tuesday that while Pilip “will continue to be a visible presence” in the Queens section of the 3rd Congressional District, “Unfortunately, her schedule has quickly filled up, making some other requested debate dates unworkable.”

But St. John’s University political science professor and analyst Brian Browne said both candidates’ approaches to the debates are strategic.

“This is a familiar tactic of Tom Suozzi’s,” he said. “He did this when he ran in 2006 in the primary for governor against then-Attorney General Eliot Spitzer ... He did this when him and Jumaane [Williams] were primarying [Gov.] Hochul two years ago.”

Suozzi boasted that he removed ICE [US Immigration and Customs Enforcement] from Nassau County. Pilip indicates she'll be pro-border control. She gets my vote and I'm a lifetime Dem.

Of course Cablevision wont make it available or even You Tube or stream it in Queens. Suozzi is buddy buddy with the Dolen mob.
The Dolen bunch is as progressive and liberal as it gets, another Shcumer, perhaps worse!!

Republicans should have asked Zeldin to run against him, they made a lousy choice to go up against such a big time destructive socialist prick.
Suozzi made a friggan mess in Glen Cove and Sea Cliff in bed with developers. Those people had to go to court to get Verizon FIOS TV and Internet service on the poles, Cablevision had a monopoly going. Cablevision was even giving free stuff, computers, monitors to all the government offices as payola under Suozzi nose.
This is still going on Long Island and
2: NO debate by News 12 or anything under a Cablevision umbrella owned will be fair because the Democrats team will always somehow attain the questions in advance via a proxy, some assistant or some coach.
All corrupt bastards with big $$ backing them involved here, the GOP knows this and still selects such a weak candidate & team with little experience to go up against such a big machine

A gang is what your dealing with, and this weak choice of a GOP candidate is going to lose. I hate to say it by why are republican's, generation Zs and people in general becoming so dam stupid? First Zeldin falling into a trap and opening his big mouth on abortion, pissing off near every women and generation Z voter.
Do Republicans WANT to lose every elections?
Is something being dumped in the water supply?
Anyway, It's going to be impossible to ever see this communist operate debate if your not a Cablevision subscriber, Cablevision conglomerate or democrat politician.

This is truly insane. How Biden/Democrats continue to get votes after abusing our immigration laws is amazing.

My mailbox in Manhasset must have had 5 pounds of Suozzi propaganda today. These leaflets are coming daily now. Versions of this shit in both English and the Spanish version. It's annoying, literally pounds & pounds of this shit.

Somebody is spending a fortune, Hmmm--interesting how Suozzi Cablevision, Optimum and Altice advertisements all have the same sending Ad-ID (identifier's)
---Proof all dated, bagged and ready for the Nassau County attorney generals office in Mineola. Such bombardment I believe illegal use of the mail among other possible issues like trespassing in which case 1080P smart tracking cameras are now up
"Suozzi" and friends, What a harassing, trespassing bunch of motherF#ckers !!

Quote:We the Sheeple reelect 90% of incumbents then wonder why nothing changes.

The problem is the good people don't get out and vote and all the stupid garbage does.
Result: All the wokes and communists have to do is coddle the young, the trash with promises of free stuff, no jail for criminal of color, handcuff all the police. The stupid buy it and the get elected/re-elected all the time.
Result 2 is a no good mayor, a no good DA, a no good attorney general, a no good governor, a no good radicle anti police public advocate & city council.

It's getting worse because the schools and colleges have been dumbing down, radicalizing the young with teachings like "the police are the problem" "racism is the problem" "criminals are innocent victims of poverty"
You gotta hear some of communist talk going on at meetings in these city grant funded workshops, museums, art gallery's which serve as meeting places for radicals.

The following is a window that relates to the voting problem:
When I lived on City Island (now a destroyed cesspool free for all of crime and motorcycle scum) the Bronx Borough President was at "Island Gallery" was basically telling a bunch of sheep and inner city assholes supported who she bussed in Quote: "these home owners here on City Island refuse change, refuse to open there home's to section 8" "bunch of racists" "that's why many of you are suffering"
We need new laws blah, blah, blah
She was winding them up to hate and do harm to those mostly elderly home owners as well as force "scare" them into compliance.

These storefronts receiving government grants for rent are not "art gallery's" nor "Hop Hop museums" they are clandestine meeting places for things like radicalization, organizing protestors and recruitment.
People are not looking closely enough at what's being stealthily moved in under their noses, refuse to see it or just don't care which is why I moved the hell off City Island.

Old people complain real good but don't get out and vote, they just sit around (many blamed me!) "why do you gotta fight with people" "Car theft pulling door handles?-oh stop, I'm here 50 years that's never happened blah blah blah" "that's not gonna happen" "why are you so pessimistic" "your crazy"
Then say: "GO AWAY-It is what it is Joe" when I break their balls with "Everything I SAID just happened" you told me to stop fighting and assured me "X" would never would happen, what's up with that?

F_uck that, I'm not fighting or ending up in jail for a bunch of lazy deaf dumb and blind sheep. Let them go down with their ship, I said fuck this and moved!!
This same crap such as laziness, people in denial, refusing to "see" is a huge part of the problem with voting.

Broadcast TV Channel 7 is going to air the debate --however it may be blacked out for certain customers who pay for service so have an over the air TV antenna handy.
Takes 5 minutes to make a "homebrew" with a piece of TV Coax cable:

1-Find a TV coax patch cord, Screw the connector end to the TV

Now the other end:
2- Cut the connector off and trim 6-1/2 inches off the cables outer skin

3- Separate the inner conductor from the outer braided shield by combing it out with a toothpick then twist into a conductor. Discard any foil
Now you have the coax into the TV with 2 tails at the end of the coax.
4-Make into a "T" configuration and hang someplace horizontally wide facing between the Freedom Tower and empire state building.
(these signals are horizontally polarized)

5-Do a channel scan on your TV, you should get over 60 digital channels.
Whats good about this is you also get all the good sub channels subscription TV filters out to sell you back as premium channels on A&E, History channel etc.
You also get some really good stuff on PBS and WLIW.

This antenna is called a 75 ohm 1/2 wave horizontal dipole and should look like this.

Republicans are stupid for handing this election to Sanctuary Suozzi on a silver platter.
Have they any clue what most American voters hate?
In a time where people are fed up with immigrants, fed up with people not minding their own business with a woman's body, fed up with foreigner's who cant speak English, Abortion rights, disgusted Jewish people that, black criminals they hand the most red district of white and Iranian people(Great Neck) in the country a black Jew from Africa and expect to win?
Are they crazy?

This is a sure way to lose to Suozzi will now take this by a landslide !!
Whats wrong with Republicans ?
