1/ @GraceBydalek wrote some drivel in the Daily News attacking the @NYYRC & myself over our endorsement of @realDonaldTrump.

nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

2/ It follows the same trite formula where the writer claims whoever she is attacking is not a True Conservative™, but that she is a True Conservative™ and she then attacks my opinions on immigration as somehow "out of touch" which is laughable.

3/ @GraceBydalek is self-projecting her own out-of-touch views which are diametrically opposed to the vast majority of Republicans when it comes to immigration. She would be beyond out of place at most Republican meetings across the country.

4/ The fact of the matter is that people like @GraceBydalek are astroturfed operatives who work on behalf of the Beltway NGO circuit to attack legitimate grassroots conservative voices. Explains why she had to go to the Daily News of all publications to get her screed published.

5/ The @NYYRC is the largest & most successful young Republican Club in the nation, in deep blue New York of all places, primarily because we reject the elitist & condescending views of people like @GraceBydalek who speak for nobody outside of a small niche circle of....

6/ ... Con Inc. grifters.

We pack rooms with 500 people in Manhattan and @GraceBydalek's organization @YoungVoicesOrg exists only on paper (with big donor subsidies) to give resume boosters to Neo-Libs masquerading as conservatives so they can go on to police the right.

7/ "@NYYRC may tout itself as America’s oldest and largest club of its kind, but Wax’s statement is certainly not representative of the overwhelming sentiment of the city’s young conservatives."

Funny considering nobody knows who @GraceBydalek is, not in New York or anywhere.

8/ @GraceBydalek claims the @NYYRC doesn't represent young conservatives in New York but she does.

Where is her organization? Where are her events? Meetups? Members? Followers? Do they exist at all?

Surely she could replace us or oust me from office with her massive support.

9/ The fact is she can't do any of that because @GraceBydalek doesn't represent young conservatives, the @NYYRC does.

She can quote Edmund Burke all day but it won't change the fact that she is intimidated by our growth, size, & scale while being uncouth populists.

10/ "Young conservative thought leaders are being chased away from a once-great organization by a man whose ideology is, in fact, not conservative at all."

Really? Name one person @GraceBydalek.

The organization is the largest it has ever been in our 110-year history.

11/ Where was @GraceBydalek when we rallied to defend the Teddy Roosevelt statue?

12/ Where was @GraceBydalek when the @NYYRC led the first mass protest against the vaccine mandates?

13/ Where was @GraceBydalek when we lead large deployments to get Republicans elected in districts not won by the GOP in over a century?

14/ Where was Grace when we raised over $20k for Tunnels to Towers?

15/ Where was @GraceBydalek when we held our 108th Annual Gala in defiance of Covid Tyrannical mandates?

16/ Where was Grace when the @CatholicNYYRC defended St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral from a Pro-Abortion mob trying to ransack it?

17/ Where was @GraceBydalek when the Club funded litigation to overturn the unconstitutional and illegal New York State Assembly maps?

18/ Where was @GraceBydalek when the @NYYRC_Hispanic marched in the Dominican Day Parade? It marked the first time that a Republican organization has ever marched in that parade.

19/ @GraceBydalek is the one out-of-touch.

Never built anything that holds a candle to the
@NYYRC and now she wants to dictate who is worthy of "the pedestal".

What sanctimonious garbage.

You don't get to dictate who is and isn't conservative.
