After much backlash from fellow House Republicans, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., on Tuesday defended her decision to vote for the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
Malliotakis told Fox News there is "incredibly important" infrastructure in the measure.
Last Tuesday, Americans from one side of the country to the other, elected Republicans to state and local office, sending Joe Biden and the Democrats a message that we are not, and will never be, a socialist nation. Because this message was so clear, even Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress could not ignore it.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A crucial infrastructure project designed to protect Staten Island’s East Shore from coastal storms will run out of funds due to COVID-19 pandemic-related supply-chain delays and shortages that have raised the cost of construction, a bi-partisan group of lawmakers said.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) linked Democrat-imposed vaccine mandates to product shortages and inflation driven by supply chain obstructions on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with special guest host Jerome Hudson.
“I’m the only Republican that represents New York City in Washington,” she said. “So my message — when I speak on the floor of the House — is don’t do to the country what we’ve seen happen in New York City. … I know what it’s like to live under one-party rule.”
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Several Staten Island elected officials and parents gathered outside PS 8 in Great Kills on Tuesday to express their opposition to New York City’s plan to scrap the Gifted & Talented (G&T) program in elementary schools, instead urging the expansion of the program into more public schools citywide.
U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis recently met the Brooklyn family she helped get out of Kabul, Afghanistan, during the U.S. withdrawal.
A Gravesend man contacted Malliotakis’ office in August and said his wife and three children – ages 1, 3 and 7 – were visiting Afghanistan when the withdrawal began.
“My office worked with the State Department and we were able to get them on a military flight to Qatar,” Malliotakis said at the time.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Evening Edit,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) said that China is probably looking to move on Hong Kong and Taiwan because President Joe Biden not holding China accountable on the origins of COVID-19 and the withdrawal from Afghanistan have “put them in a situation where they have a position of strength.” And predicted that China will undercut any financial leverage the U.S. has against the Taliban.
A trio of local Republicans held a media conference in St. George Tuesday to speak out against a push in the City Council to give non-citizens the right to vote in city elections.
The city’s sole Republican in Congress blasted as an illegal “overreach” President Biden’s mandate that forces private businesses as well as the federal government to require their workers to get COVID-shots or be tested weekly.
