New York Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, who is running against popular pro-Trump YouTuber Joey Saladino for a congressional seat in Staten Island, previously said that she regretted voting for President Donald Trump.
The candidate is now pandering to Trump voters in order to win the Republican primary against Saladino, despite her opposition to ending DACA, the border wall and his proposed travel ban.
In 2017, while she was running for mayor against Bill de Blasio, Malliotakis said that she had voted for Trump because he was the nominee, but wished she had wrote in Marco Rubio instead.
“I’d write in Marco Rubio…I’d write in Marco Rubio so that I could tell you I voted Marco Rubio,” Malliotakis told the Daily News about what she would do if she had a chance to change her vote.
Malliotakis’ stated reasons for disliking Trump sound more like a liberal Democrat’s than a Republican’s: “his proposed ban on transgender service members, his plans to suspend DACA, his promise to build a border wall and his travel ban.”
NeverTrumper Malliotakis also discussed her voter’s remorse on camera with Spectrum News NY1.
Now that she needs the support of the pro-Trump Republican base, she has drastically changed her tune — often praising the president in public comments. She seems to be hoping that Republican primary voters forget her radically anti-Trump positions.
Malliotakis might be in trouble, because her primary opponent, YouTube star Joseph Saladino (better known as “Joey Salads”) has an unbroken track record of supporting the Trumpist agenda.
SNIP:
First of all, this isn’t helping Marco Rubio. LOL.
2nd. Kiss my entire a$$, Nicole!
Sounds like a typical politician from either party. Let’s just forget the false premise of a two party system and rename them Finger in the Wind Party.
Her real reason for hating Trump? He never offered to grab her in her happy place.
And a “Middle Finger Salute” to you Nicole!! ;^)
Joey Salads will make Nichole swim with the fishes….
Not too hip on current lingo but I believe she’s what’s called a rent seeker.
Typical lying, bullshit politician.
FU BI****!
You made your bed, now you get to lay in it.
But I saw on Twitter this morning that no Republicans criticize the President.
IT’S WORTH A SHOT
Lies are only lies to voters who have been paying attention.
What is the internet and why don’t my statements go away?
