Don't forget that this week former President Trump went after Nicole openly and in public --- and she had to just sit there and take it

It's been reported that Former President Trump went on a Jeremiad ealier this week against the thirteen House Republicans who helped push through President Joe Biden’s massive infrastructure bill.....

One of those present in the audience to hear the whole rant was our very own Member of Congress  ---  Nicole Malliotakis  ---  who seemed to suffer a case of the vapors as a result  ---  because she was one of those thirteen disloyal Republicans to Trump's way of thinking

According to a New York Post report about all of this, freshman GOP-Cons. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, from Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn,  appeared to be “visibly shaken” as former President Trump attacked her and 12 of her GOP colleagues during a speech he was delivering at Monday's National Republican Congressional Committee dinner

  

>>>  Malliotakis was skewered so badly by the former President, whom she had voted to impeach earlier this year, that the NY Post Editorial Board felt that they had to try to come to her defense   <<<

According to Trump,  Nicole Malliotakis and those other twelve GOP Members of Congress were bad Republicans, acting as Nancy Pelosi's and Joe Biden's toadies and sock puppets when they helped the Democrats pass their infrastructure bill to last week by a 228-206 vote. 

The next day, after roasting Malliotakis to her face at the GOP function on Monday, Trump followed up and said that they all "..  had voted for a terrible Democrat Socialist Infrastructure Plan instead of getting behind "... a great Infrastructure Plan wanting to be put forward by [Trump's supporters inside] the Republican Party?...”

Try to stay focused on what really went down in Washington last Friday when Malliotakis cast her lot with the Democrats.   This so-called "Infrastructure Bill" is very little about replacing and upgrading necessary, but worn out and failing, infrastructure in and around Nicole Malliotakis' home district, or even the whole of the City and/or State of New York.

When Malliotakis makes her excuses,  she is starting to look and sound like an old tweaker broad coming up to us in the street for a grift of some sort

Malliotakis has been tweaking her reasons for backing this massive liberal/ progressive spending bill that is less than one-half devoted to real infrastructure. First, she said that the bipartisan infrastructure package will deliver a minimum of $27 billion to New York State for local infrastructure projects..... Get that  >>>  sign off on another Trillion Dollars in spending to get the WHOLE STATE OF NEW YORK  ---  $27 BILLION  ---  that's not just for her district, and not just for the whole City of New York  ---  but it's for the whole state.  BTW, that's not even a good deal for upgrading  the "infrastructure" throughout the whole State of New York.

Just a couple of days ago, Malliotakis needed to do another of her own personal "clean up(s) on aisle three" for her vote in favor of the "Infrastructure Bill."  ---   So, she appeared on Fox News, and in essence, dissembled through the whole interview mixing up many of the spending categories in the bill that she did vote for, and saying that they were really part of another spending bill that she says she is opposed to. She also did some quick legerdemain making the actual amount spent on hard infrastructure in the bill she voted for seem to be about twice as much as it really is (compared to the amount spent on non-infrastructure items)  ---  and she "knows" all  that she talked about on Fox,  because she said she read the whole "Infrastructure Bill" before she voted for it.....  Overall, during the Fox interview this week, Nicole was more slippery than somebody using lubri-gel to slither into a latex cat suit, when she jumped from descriptions of projects for her district, and the rest of NYC, to the gross amounts of money being spent on stuff like that across the whole country.....

Here's where Congresswoman Malliotakis' maths break down on this "Infrastructure Bill"   ---   using  Nicole's own $27 Billion figure for all of NY State (because, remember, she read the whole bill)  ---  that's out of $1.2 Trillion in spending  ---  that's just  >>>  $27 Billions-out-of- $1200 Billions  <<<   OR JUST  TWO-AND-A-QUARTER PERCENT (2.25%)     >>>>>>>>>  Since what New York State sends the Feds (including the Congress) in Washington, D.C. is about Eight Percent (8%) of  Washington's total revenue   ---   any spending back in New York at a rate of 2.25% of that spending is a very, very bad deal for New York.

MAKE NO MISTAKE 

 >>>  NYC  AND THE 13TH CONGRSSIONAL DISTRICT HAVE MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS  <<<   

>>>  HOWEVER, MALLIOTAKIS' VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS' INFRASTRUCTURE BILL ONLY HELPS WITH THAT A VERY LITTLE BIT  <<<

>>>  AND THAT AT A VERY HUGE COST TO OURSELVES  ---  AND EVEN MORE TO OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN  <<<

For now, Trump is completely right about Nicole  ---  and  ---  the New York Post has got this one all wrong.....
