Mid-Hudson News reports that the Republican assemblymember who represents Greene County wants an assemblymember representing Ulster County removed from office because of speech by others. Writing on social media, Republican Chris Tague said, “I also call on the [Assembly] Majority to remove or condemn members of their conference who voice support for Hamas or Democratic Socialists of America. This is not a time to stand idly watching events unfold, it’s time to act and prevent the destruction from leaking into our nation.” Sarahana Shrestha, a Democrat in Ulster County is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. The New York City chapter of the group recently voiced support with the Palestinian people, which has irritated some, including, apparently, Tague. Shrestha responded to Tague’s attack, posting her own social media message that said, “Here’s Republican Assemblymember Chris Tague equating Hamas with DSA and calling for my removal. Join DSA! We have a world to win!” Read more about this story at Mid-Hudson News.
