On Monday, Cara Castronuova, an investigative journalist for Newsmax and writer for The Gateway Pundit who is currently running as a Republican for the Senate in New York, filed a lawsuit in New York State Federal Court that seeks to change New York’s notoriously draconian and anti-democratic ballot eligibility laws. Under current law, candidates running for public office who are not chosen by the Ed Cox-led state party apparatus, like Cara Castronuova, who hopes to secure the Republican Party nomination for Senate, must collect 15,000 pen ink original signatures over 37 calendar days in order to qualify.
As recounted at length previously here, State Party Chairman, Ed Cox, has operated as effective gatekeeper for a trenchant New York State Republican Party that refuses to change with the times, particularly with regard to selecting candidates who are stridently and unapologetically pro-Trump and pro-America First, much like Cara Castronuova. As evidence: the State Party’s last two candidates for major electoral offices – Mike Sapraicone, whom the Party handpicked in a closed door convention in February for Senate, is a well-known Trump hater who has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats over the years. As recently as 2022, Sapraicone made contributions to Trump-hating District Attorney Letitia James, who is spearheading the ongoing political prosecution against President Trump in New York State, including overseeing his criminal trial set to begin in Manhattan, later this month.
Their previous, hand-selected candidate, Mazi Pilip, who the Party chose to run for former Congressman George Santos’ vacated seat in New York’s 3rd Congressional District also was Ed Cox’s ideal candidate. She was still, reportedly, a registered Democrat at the time she ran in the special election against Democrat Tom Suozzi, who easily defeated her and reclaimed his seat, reducing the Republican House Majority to a precariously thin 218 to 213 margin. The Santos expulsion effort was led by Ed Cox-lackeys, as part of the RINO State Delegation: Nick Lalota (who held out on endorsing President Trump until Jan. 20 of this year) Mike Lawler (who still has not endorsed Trump), Andrew Garbarino (who also still has not endorsed Trump) and Anthony D’Esposito (who waited until Feb. 26 of this year to finally endorse the presidential frontrunner), all of whom – at best –only recently issued eleventh hour endorsements of Donald Trump, according to 538’s endorsement tracker, showcasing their true loyalties to Ed Cox and his Uniparty agenda. (For reference, Trump loyalist Elise Stefanik (NY-21) endorsed President Trump way back in November of 2022). As the saying goes, with friends like these, who needs enemies?
