As MAGA-Republican Josh Eisen is set to announce his Senate run against Sen. Kirstin Gillibrand in Buffalo this afternoon, a brief reminder of his troubling and well-documented history of stalking, harassment, misogyny and racism.
A few highlights:
- Eisen dropped out of the race for NY-17 in 2020 after his history came to light and he was disavowed by both the Rockland and Westchester County Republicans parties.
- In February 2020, City & State NY published a lengthy article about Eisen’s history of stalking, harassment, misogyny and racism. Among the disturbing findings were:
“Eisen was sanctioned by judges on two separate occasions for harassing his legal opponents and their family members, their lawyers, and their lawyer’s family members, and was [sic] once fined $20,000 by the court.”
“Eisen was arrested and charged with stalking in Manhattan for allegedly threatening a business partner’s family.”
- Eisen sent “hundreds or thousands” of threatening emails to a former business partner’s wife.
- In threatening emails, Eisen referenced sexual acts with an infamous Nazi doctor.
- Eisen sent threatening emails that contained sexual comments about the anatomy of his partner’s lawyer’s daughter.
Eisen threatened a former employee’s wife, telling her to “think long and hard. I was in your home.”
- A judge found his messages so “disturbing and threatening” that he granted Eisen’s targets a temporary restraining order against him.
The Rockland and Westchester County Republican committees disavowed Eisen after his past actions came to light.
And yet, here he is again…
