MTG’s protest flop
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, recent from her embarrassing debut on “60 Minutes,” arrived in New York Metropolis on Tuesday with each intention of firing up a large pro-Trump crowd (“Taking sides on the street,” April 5).
However a lot to her chagrin, the gathering was small and she or he was quickly drowned out by a bigger group of anti-Trumpers.
Inside 10 minutes of her opening remarks, she was compelled off the stage.
Later, as former President Donald Trump was charged with 34 counts of legal exercise, Greene was heard evaluating the disgraced ex-president to Nelson Mandela and even Jesus Christ.
With Easter Sunday just about at hand, MTG was treading a nice line between hyperbole and heresy.
There must be a everlasting ban on stupidity coming from the far proper.
After all, that’s about as more likely to occur as a bipartisan settlement on complete gun-control laws.

No AOC in Senate
I’m no fan of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand by any means, however the mere considered Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s outlandish habits, disdain for the American manner and obtrusive lack of mental acuity in our legislative department’s higher chamber offers me chills (“AOC could also be eyeing ‘increased’ energy, Gilly,” April 4).
As if issues weren’t already divisive and contentious sufficient within the Senate, introducing this mean-spirited socialist would instantly destroy no matter decorum presently stays and power different senators to take a seat for hours upon finish, enduring her accusations, criticisms and vitriolic harangues.
No, I strongly recommend that our nation can be a lot better off if she stays within the Home with an excellent variety of the 434 different representatives serving as our freedom’s bulwark.

Kat’s GFA veto
Ron Kim is mistaken to say Gov. Hochul caved to business strain in vetoing the Grieving Households Act, which might have radically expanded legal responsibility in New York (“Three years on, NY leaders STILL not held to account for lethal COVID nursing-home order,” March 30).
The town of New York, MTA and native authorities organizations known as on Hochul to veto the invoice to guard taxpayers from the onslaught of pricy lawsuits and insurance coverage premiums.
OBGYNs warned it might undermine entry to maternity and reproductive care.
Docs and hospitals would have seen their skilled legal responsibility insurance coverage skyrocket by 40-45%.
And common New Yorkers, already navigating historic inflation and an unstable economic system, would have seen a spike of their auto insurance coverage and householders insurance coverage premiums.
The truth is, the one group that might have benefitted from the invoice is Albany’s strongest particular curiosity — the trial legal professionals.
Hochul must be praised for standing as much as the profit-hungry lawyer foyer and defending New York households from yet one more value hike.

Greatest to injured cop
One other member of the NYPD is shot within the line of obligation, this time after a pursuit that began with — of all issues — an argument over a seat on a metropolis bus (“Queens rookie cop takes bullet,” April 6).
Happily, the officer will get well from his accidents regardless of his assailant’s intentions.
Hopefully this cretin is apprehended swiftly and he may be charged accordingly.
As for the heroic officer, he’ll return to the job that he has selflessly carried out with a brand new contract that’s well-deserved but lengthy overdue.
