Republican Congressman Brandon Williams Fundraises with Speaker Johnson: Prices range from $1,000 to $13,000!
Today, Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams are fully embracing their far-right extremism as they bring MAGA Mike Johnson to New York. For two of New York’s most vulnerable Republicans, Molinaro and Williams certainly aren’t hiding their MAGA loyalties. They’re parading around with the leader of the far-right movement who has promised a national abortion ban, wants to slash Social Security and Medicare, and is playing politics with our border security as New Yorkers face the consequences.
The lowest ticket price is $1,000 per person and a photo with Speaker Johnson will cost more than $13,000 each!
“Why do constituents have to come to Rep. Williams with money equivalent to their rent payment in their hands to have a conversation with him? He didn’t want to have a dialogue with anyone at his free, public town halls last year,” says Indivisible Mohawk Valley, a local political activism group active in Oneida County.
“Brandon Williams’s MAGA message doesn’t represent the people of CNY, and neither do $13,000 photo ops with an election-denying abortion extremist, who supports raising the age on Social Security,” says Senya Bekui, Lead Organizer of the Central New York Chapter of Citizen Action of New York. “Rep Williams appearing with Speaker Johnson in such a time of economic uncertainty for the people of this region sends a strong message against the working families he is supposed to represent.”
Extremist Mike Johnson’s agenda:
- Championing a total national abortion ban with no exceptions and rolling back reproductive freedoms he calls “an American holocaust.”
- Pioneering cuts to Social Security and Medicare by $2.7 trillion and pushing to raise the retirement age.
- Playing politics with border security by following Trump’s orders and rejecting a bipartisan border agreement.
- Espousing dehumanizing anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and sponsoring bills aimed at ripping fundamental human rights from the LGBTQ community.
