According to @ChrissyCasilio‘s statement to @ipostnews Chrissy thinks her lack of transparency and basic common sense isn’t an “issue” in the Erie County Executive race and she can just deflect serious questions about her integrity.
We wholeheartedly disagree.
Investigative Post asked Casilio-Bluhm to explain why she’d attempted to scrub then deleted her Twitter account. She sent us this statement:
With no record to run on, Mark Poloncarz and his lackeys are already on the attack to try and distract voters from the issues. I’m not a professional politician like Mark. I’m a business owner, a mom, and a taxpayer who is angry about Mark’s failings and I am running to do something about it.
I am not going to allow Mark Poloncarz or any media outlet financially beholden to him to misrepresent who I am, what I stand for, or what I’ll be fighting for in this campaign.
My campaign will be run on the issues that matter to Erie County taxpayers, like lowering costs for families and supporting small businesses.
She did not respond to follow-up questions — such as “Do you (or did you) believe that Damar Hamlin’s injury was a ‘PR stunt taking things too far’ as you tweeted on Jan. 24?”
Far-right quacks like @ChrissyCasilio attempting to infiltrate local governments with their culture war bull? is shaping up to be one of the biggest ‘issues’ in this year’s election cycle and #ErieCounty voters should know who they are asked to vote for. For example…It’s an “issue” that someone like @ChrissyCasilio‘s and her whacked-out conspiratorial views about vaccines doesn’t have their hands on the @echealthdept It’s an “issue” that some ‘million-dollar baby’ from Clarence does not have authority over @ECSocServices like the last ‘million-dollar baby’ from clarence did.
It’s an “issue” that people like ‘Elise Stefanik light’ @ChrissyCasilio not get her hands on Erie County Cultural funding without knowing where she stands on things like drag shows and transgenderism It’s an “issue” that Erie county voters know where ‘Ron Desantis in a dress’ @ChrissyCasilio stands on banning books before we hand over the keys to the @buffalolibrary It’s an “issue” that someone like @ChrissyCasilio‘s with f**ked up views on things like COVID and climate change does not have authority over the @ErieCountyESU It’s an “issue” to know where @ChrissyCasilio stands on access to abortion and other women’s health services before she controls the status of @ECCStatusWomen So yeah… @ChrissyCasilio lack of transparency when it comes to the bats**t crazy stuff she spent that last few years spouting on Twitter is an issue and @TheBuffaloNews @WGRZ @WIVB @WKBW @ipostnews @WBFO need to not let her brush it off and hold her accountable for all of it.@ClaudineWgrz @DanielTelvock @JeffRussoWKBW @Charlie_Reports @SandraTanBN @kellydudzikWGRZ @natebenson @wgrzMichael @MarleeTuskesTV@eileenwkbw @shannon_wkbw @WGRZmaryalice @Andy_Paden @Robert_Hackford @LeanneStuck @makibecker@mkgiancola pic.twitter.com/78DEpreyO4

It’s an “issue” to let @ChrissyCasilio run point on a new @BuffaloBills stadium when she thinks a player almost dying on national TV was just a ‘PR’ stunt So yeah… @ChrissyCasilio has more “issues” than Sports Illustrated pic.twitter.com/tKgRKwLAAs
