BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – So it’s probably no surprise that a Democrat hoping to win a primary next year and then unseat GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District drew some mockery when he referred to the state’s voters as “New Yorkians.”
“While Elise Stefanik is focused on starting culture wars, I’m focused on helping everyday New Yorkians,” candidate Matt Putorti posted on Twitter.
A short time later, Stefanik responded to the Christmas gift by posting a Christmas card to her constituents.
“Merry Christmas New YorkERS!” Stefanik wrote. “Sending you peace, love, and joy this holiday season.”
This isn’t the first time Putorti gave an eyebrow raising title to citizens in a community. Earlier this year, he referred to residents in Miami as “Mayans”, he referred to Los Angeles residents as “Lost Anglicans” and he referred to Chicagoans as “pushers, pimps, and parolees”.
