The chaos of New York City is exactly what the entire country can expect if Joe Biden is elected president, a Long Island congressman argued Sunday.
“Everything is on the line,’’ Republican US Rep. Lee Zeldin said on “The Cats Roundtable’’ radio show, referring to the upcoming presidential election.
“For safety and security, for peace and prosperity — this is an election where the country that you want, you need to stand up and fight for. We can’t be silent,’’ he said.
“We can’t lose and allow a radical-left takeover of everything,’’ Zeldin said, five days after Biden announced he had chosen Sen. Kamala Harris of California as his running mate on the Democratic ticket.
“We’re seeing how that played out in Manhattan, with New York City, all throughout the boroughs, with Bill de Blasio,’’ Zeldin said.
The Big Apple has been battling soaring shootings and homelessness, with residents now fleeing for the suburbs in droves.
“We see it up in Albany right now with one-party rule,’’ the rep added, referring to Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his party’s control of both houses of the state legislature.
“It’s all a warning shot of what one-party rule could look like in Washington if we don’t fight hard for the country that we love and fight hard for the country that we want,’’ Zeldin said.
