Update on Scherie Murray: An insider in the Queens, New York Republican scene has assured me that Murray has long-time Republican affiliations in the borough, and she has already run for City Council as a Republican. My source says that she was in the past not knowledgeable about pro-freedom issues, but she has been willing to learn. The source speculates that she is being backed by Ted Cruz and concludes: "There are 4 or 5 Republicans in the race, and we'll see who leads in fundraising and publicity and who wins the primary."
Scherie Murray just announced her Republican congressional candidacy in AOC's district. A friend just forwarded this image of a tweet by Scherie Murray in which she heartily congratulates AOC for her victory. While not fatal to her credibility, the tweet raises questions that require investigation before Republicans can take Murray's bid seriously. Might she be a plant, an empty suit, or just a left-leaning Democrat who is angry about the damage AOC has done to property values in Western Queens? I co-own an apartment on 34th Avenue and 21st Street in Long Island City/Astoria, just a few blocks south of AOC's district, and I can attest to the serious damage AOC and her fellow left-wing Democrats did to property values when they rejected Amazon's proposed headquarters.
Admittedly, if she is just an annoyed Democrat, she's probably still better than AOC, although AOC does serve some useful purposes for Republicans nationally. Perhaps AOC can be viewed as a useful idiot...
