You Have To Read This Epic Letter-to-the-Editor This Man Wrote To Democrat Sean Eldridge

Democrat Sean Eldridge has already had a difficult time convincing voters – and the media – in New York’s 19th District that he isn’t trying to buy a seat in Congress for himself.

This letter-to-the-editor that appeared in the Register Star this morning, then, isn’t going to make that effort any easier.

“Mr. Eldrige represents all that is bad about mainstream politics especially in regard to buying your way into power with huge sums of money that you never earned yourself,” Philmont, NY resident Ed Fertik writes.

“The candidacy of 26 year old Sean Eldridge for incumbent Chris Gibson’s 19th district seat in Congress is one of the most disgusting political maneuvers we could ever witness here in Columbia County.”

From Washington Free Beacon:

Sean Eldridge, the 26-year-old spouse of Facebook “poke” button pioneer Chris Hughes, has had a rough week.

THE POLITICO recently published a damning report on Eldridge’s strange reluctance to engage with the media. He faces mounting criticism over his efforts to unseat incumbent Representative Chris Gibson (R., N.Y.), a decorated war veteran and lifetime resident of the district he serves. Eldridge has lived there since 2011 in the $5 million Hudson River Valley estate Hughes bought to facilitate his husband’s political ambitions. “Eldridge” is the top donor to his own campaign (at least $700,000 and counting), and takes money from his billionaire friends while decrying the influence of “special interests” in politics.

Philmont, N.Y. resident Ed Fertik is not impressed. Fertik authored an epic letter-to-the-editor for the Register Star on Friday, in which he describes the “elitist” Eldridge’s campaign as “one of the most disgusting political maneuvers we could ever witness here in Columbia County.”
