Delgado’s in a pickle

February 12, 2019

After backing the “Green New Deal” on the campaign trail, Antonio Delgado is facing intense pressure from the left to make good on his word.

Just last week a group of protesters rallied outside his office demanding he sign on to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s loony government takeover of the U.S. economy, which calls for the elimination of all fossil fuel energy production, rebuilding every building in America, banning 99% of cars and abolishing airplanes.

So now Delgado has a choice to make – will he sell out Hudson Valley voters by signing on to a socialist takeover of the U.S. economy, or will he go back on the campaign promises he made to the radical environmentalists literally protesting at his door?

NRCC Comment: “When it comes to the Green New Deal, Antonio Delgado has no good answer. He’s either signing on to a radical plan that will kill jobs and raise taxes, or breaking a campaign promise. Rough.” – NRCC Spokesman Michael McAdams.
