THREAD: Today’s @poststar column by @kentingley ends with a dangerous allusion to gun violence and has no place on the pages of a serious community newspaper. This news editor is well aware of the impact of his words, and is completely unacceptable.
I unequivocally condemned violence of any kind, specifically violence against the press, at a public community event in Hudson Falls. The @poststar editor @KenTingley was in attendance but refused to publish my answer. WATCH 👇
Instead, he describes a typical campaign fundraising appeal describing Far-Left Democrat attacks on @realDonaldtrump supporters to “I wasn’t sure if she would be buying campaign ads or bullets.” @kentingley’s call to gun violence is shameful, untrue, outrageous, and dangerous.
We can all respectfully and passionately disagree on policies, but allusions to threats of violence - as Tingley does today - have no place in our community discussions or in print.
Readers of our #NY21 community papers deserve better, and Tingley should apologize for this unacceptable error in judgement.
