My kid was a #NewYork ICU nurse when the 1st #COVID19 wave hit

She worked w/ 1 mask for 5/6 shifts, wore garbage bags as gown & had to re-use rubber gloves

She literally risked her life every day w/o PPE & @leezeldin told the world that Trump “overdelivered” resources

She worked mandated shifts, held the tablets for patients while their families said goodbye & watched people die droves. She couldn’t see her family for almost 4 mos because I’m immunosuppressed & she was afraid she would kill me

& @leezeldin ignored our pleas for help

2/

Instead @leezeldin jumped on the Trump disinformation bandwagon, the Kushner PPE theft ring & the holding hostage of aid to NY unless @NewYorkStateAG dropped her investigation into the Trump Org

& NYers were willing to literally give their lives rather than

3/

Allow the mango menace to extort us.

Because that is how NYers are made …

(Well, the decent ones any way , which @leezeldin is not)

Trump knew & Zeldin knew in NOVEMBER 2019 how bad Covid was & the still lied to us up until April 2020

And no one missed the connection between the federal nursing home death investigation announcement & the filing against the Trump Org

Or that the Cuomo killed Gramma BS was being funded by the same people funding #ReOpenAmerica (Can you say the Mercer Family?)

5/

The point being that #NY01 saw first hand that @leezeldin was willing to let us die to further his own political goals

It wasn’t the first time & it wouldn’t be the last

6/

While she spent the next two years, along w/ the rest of the icu staff, being ABUSED; facing off w/ families over mask restrictions, crazy conspiracy theories & patients that believe the hospital & big Pharma were giving them Covid, @leezeldin got busy spreading the lies

7/

Just like Zeldin spread lies about the 2020 election to create chaos, division & hate

He grabbed on to every wing but conspiracy group to pander to while constantly b*tching about every single thing about NY

He never had solutions. He just fomented discord & hate

8/

NOT ONCE, has @leezeldin said a word or condolence or expressed sadness at what the people have gone/ are going through

A nurse jumped off the roof of my kid’s hospital, wearing the we love our staff type tshirt & killed herself

9/

Let me repeat that, a nurse jumped off the roof of her hospital as a direct result of the living through the politicization of a virus

She jumped, not because of how the real heroes have been treated by politicians, misinformed patients/families, etc

10/

She jumped because of the anti mask (and the start of the anti vax) BS that made Covid coming under control seem completely impossible

She had seen so much death. Been in a constant war zone for 13 mos & was watching @leezeldin tell people to #UnmaskOurKids
11/

Doctors, nurses, staff etc have DIED because of what @leezeldin did for his own personal & political gain

Zeldin to this day has offered no condolence, no comfort, no aid to the people on the front lines, their families, our communities or our Dead

12/

Zeldin has, however, aided & abetted every single radical right wing extremist group in his district (& now, the state)

He has been traveling around the state & knocking on your doors w/ members of his SPLC designated anti Gov hate group twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The very same group of people that were at his unmask our kids & no mask mandate rallies & who went to “Storm the Capitol” on January 6

& were involved in the East Walkway Barricade Breach on that day
13/

The people of his current district aren’t using hyperbole when we say Lee Zeldin is Too Extreme For NY @timesunion @DandC, we have been living under his scary extremist regime

We have the receipts

Zeldin is bad for New York. He’s bad for America.

We Deserve Better
