Thread: NoCo Rep. @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik today called out Democrats for silence on a local politician involved in alleged drug use. Meanwhile her social media feeds were completely silent on the death and healthcare 'gridlock' being caused by #covid19. #ny21 1/
Here's a sampling of what local media outlets looked like on this day when the Congresswoman made no mention of the pandemic. This from @poststar 2/ poststar.com/news/local/war…
@poststar And this from @ncpr 3/ northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/449…
A remarkable story, this disconnect between a deadly pandemic (for which safe vaccines exist) & the leadership decisions in rural areas like #ny21. Would love to hear a thoutghtful interview w/ @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik about her choice not to advocate for vaccine uptake. End/

Thread: For 20 years I covered the political & cultural life of a small region of rural America in northern NY, the #adirondacks and the #ny21 congressional district. If you had told me this story would have been possible, I wouldn't believe it. @ncpr 1/ northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/449…
I covered hurricanes, fires, wars, tragic event after tragic event. In every instance there was a palpable coming together, a tone that was broadly apolitical and a deep sense that small towns must, in the final equation, work together to survive. 2/
I say the tone was apolitical but the political leadership class of #ny21 is largely Republican. In moments of crisis leaders like Betty Little, John McHugh, Janet Duprey, Teresa Sayward and many others worked closely across party lines to help communities heal. 3/

Thread: For six+ years I covered @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik as closely as any journalist, following her through rural Upstate #adirondack towns in #ny21, watching her build political strength, visiting her in Washington DC. Here are my takeaways. 1/
In 2014 she presented herself as a moderate and her past career suggested as much - including her writings at Harvard and her work with Democrats like @SenatorShaheen northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/249…
She also worked closely early in her career with moderates and people who've emerged as never-Trumpers like @MittRomney @SpeakerRyan @BillKristol including a stint in the Bush-Cheney White House. 3/

North Country thread #ny21: this has huge implications for the #adirondacks region. Our population is already older than the national average which means even fewer births 1/
When you combine this with our lack of appeal to immigrants the math is devastating. Demographic decline is inevitable without a profound shift 2/
Because so many of our communities and counties are already very low population the impacts could be felt very swiftly and indeed are manifested in closing schools churches groceries etc 3/

This is the gravity of the facts @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik has yet to address in a substantive interview, laid out by presidential historian Michael Beschloss (link at end of thread). “This is the only president in American history who incited an insurrection..." #ny21 /1
Trump "incited an insurrection against Congress that could have resulted in assassinations and hostage-taking and, conceivably, the cancellation of a free presidential election and the fracturing of a democracy." #ny21 /2
"It’s very hard to think of a scenario under which someone might imagine some wonderful thing that Donald Trump did that will outshine that. He did, literally, the worst thing that an American president could ever do.” #ny21 /3
