Nate McMurray’s Statement on GOP Lawsuit

Nate McMurray, the Democrat running for Congress in NY-27, issued the following statement blasting the state GOP for their lawsuit.

“The GOP’s party bosses are once again prioritizing partisan politics over what’s best for the families of Western New York. These enablers didn’t care about NY-27 having real representation when they supported and bowed down to the criminal Chris Collins, even after his indictment. But now, they want to bill the taxpayers for an additional special election because they think it gives them a leg up on holding onto this seat. We should not reward the party machine for failing the hardworking people of this region by enabling a criminal who abused his elected position. Regardless of when the special election is held, we will be ready to once and for all deliver the representation the district has been robbed of for years.”

‘Fake Christian:’ Boebert slammed for attack on charity helping homeless migrants



Rep. Lauren Boebert's Christian values came under scrutiny this week after the Colorado Republican hurled insults at a local initiative to find housing for homeless migrants.

Boebert faced immediate backlash after publishing Wednesday morning an X rant against a hotline Denver residents can call to connect with the nonprofit Hope Has No Borders, which pairs migrants with host families.

"Denver has now opened a hotline for residents to call and offer up their own homes to illegals," Boebert railed. "This is the most asinine and ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard."

According to its website, HOPE Host Home Program places migrants in need with host families who can provide spare living space for up to 90 days. It also provides job placement support.

The grassroots organization launched in November 2023 with a group of 1,000 moms and neighbors who, over the course of 12 weeks, organized host homes for more than 350 migrants, served more than 53,000 meals at Colorado encampments, raised more than $250,000, their website states.

The website also includes a quote from one local woman, Erin Frances, who says she twice volunteered to host.

"I highly recommend it," Frances says. "I didn't really know the families before they came into my extra bedroom, but now they are like family."

On May 1, Hope Has No Borders was connected to Colorado's immigration hotline in order to streamline the process of connecting hosts with those in need, local reports show.

This news apparently outraged Boebert, a far-right Republican whose false immigration statements include the claim that the Biden Administration paying migrants more than $2,000 a month. Boebert has also stated that she is "tired" of the separation between church and state.

"We need to close the damn border and have some semblance of a sovereign nation again," Boebert wrote. "The entire world sees this stuff and thinks we’re a joke of a nation… and we’re really beginning to look like one!"

Boebert, currently running against a slate of Republicans for the right to represent Colorado's third congressional district, was almost immediately subjected to the internet's scorn.

Much of the criticism attacked Boebert's faith.

Hey Bobo....they are called Christians...or Good Samaritans," replied Peggy Gabour. "We all are aware, especially CO 04, that's a real stretch for your comprehension."

"Leave it up to a christian to be upset about ppl opening up their homes to the less fortunate," replied X user Boston Smalls.

Tell us more about how you’re a fake Christian," wrote @GOPisComplicit.

"Your Christian values are showing, Lauren," added Lee H. G. Jr.

"Bobo is peddling hate!" replied X user @JustVent6.

X user @bloretta561 posted an image of a weary Jesus Christ saying, "I'm starting to prefer the ones who don't believe in me."

"It's a good program," she wrote. "Colorado needs the workers."
