I've followed Tina for a few years, she was local to me in NYC. She's a real piece of work. In a bad way. And she has a really filthy mouth. Anyway, her yard sign is out.

I have a big problem with the first exchange. First off, the tattoo on the arm of the subject in the photo is, to me, anyway, unidentifiable. There's a big area that looks like someone scribbled over it with a magic marker, and I definitely do not see a valknot anywhere In that image, and it's a symbol with which I'm quite familiar.

Second, while some white supremacists do use it, it is far more widely used by Heathens - people who honor the pre-Christian Norse Gods and Goddesses - and who, by and large, are inclusive - not placing any importance on race. Yes, there are some white supremacists who claim to be Heathen, (just as there are those who claim to be Christian) but they are a small minority of Heathens overall and fail to realize that white supremacy is antithetical not only to how the historical Vikings lived, but to the lives and actions of the Gods themselves.

I hate feeling like I'm defending a gun manufacturer in any way, but there is no other visible symbols in that picture from the ad that are associated with white supremacists, and when I looked at the manufacturers website, I could not find any white supremacist symbols there, either. So AOC ends up citing a symbol whose presence in the image offered is questionable, and makes it sound like only a white supremacist would wear it, maligning the thousands of Heathens around the world who wear the valknot and are not racist.

Are people who honor the pre-Christian Norse Gods and Goddesses typically into assault rifles? I mean, I guess I could see that?

Not among the ones I've known. In general, my experience has been that Heathens who are interested in weaponry tend to be more focused on ancient arms than modern ones. But Heathens are a mixed bunch, and I'm sure there are more than a few who have assault weapons.

Putin's Republicans are really loud. :roll:

AOC's opponent, Tina Forte has a couple of naughty, naughty family members. Her Husband and son were caught up in an FBI drug and arms Bust last year...

https://news.yahoo.com/aoc-rival-tina-f ... 03593.html
September 22, 2022·4 min read

Family members of the GOP nominee running against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York’s 14’s Congressional District have previously been arrested by the FBI after a 2019 drugs and guns bust at a warehouse in the Bronx.

Tina Forte has been slamming AOC for being soft on crime without mentioning that her family’s beverage distribution warehouse was the target of an FBI operation, leading to her husband and son pleading guilty, both of whom have committed several offences, according to The Daily Beast.

In a statement to the outlet, Ms Forte said that “one of my three children, Joseph, made some very poor decisions. In 2019 at 25, he committed a nonviolent marijuana offense and possessed a firearm. Joseph paid the price, in fines, attorney fees, and time behind bars”.

“As for my husband, he was unaware of our son’s crimes. He was only roped into the charges because of my son utilizing our business location for a single delivery of marijuana,” she added.

She told The Daily Beast that she was unaware of her son’s crimes when they took place and that he didn’t live with the family.

Ms Forte added to the outlet that her son is out of jail after good behaviour and volunteer work with older inmates.

“As a result of my son’s conduct our lives were turned upside down. My son knows he has no more chances with me,” she wrote to The Daily Beast. “His mistakes better have ended or he will have more to worry about than the police.”

Ms Forte has connections to the violent elements of the far-right, according to a report by Snopes. She has shared images on social media of herself next to the leader of the Proud Boys, has shared slogans with tinges of the QAnon conspiracy theory and took part in events surrounding former President Donald Trump’s rally on January 6 last year.

In her run against Ms Ocasio-Cortez, who beat an establishment Democrat to take the seat in 2018, Ms Forte has painted herself as a more regular Republican as she has pushed her small business credentials on the stump.

She has also campaigned on a spike in crime, putting the blame on New York state bail legislation.

New York’s 14th Congressional District seat is safely Democratic, with Ms Ocasio-Cortez winning reelection in 2020 with 71.6 per cent of the vote against 27.4 per cent for Republican John Cummings.

According to a 2020 Facebook post by Ms Forte, her business is located on Stillwell Avenue in the Bronx and in financial disclosure documents, she said the income her husband made came from a company in the same building, The Daily Beast reported.

The FBI determined that the building was where the crimes by her husband Joseph “Joey Snapple” Galdieri, and their son, Joseph Galdieri Jr, were committed, according to the outlet.

The Daily Beast reported that the FBI account of events differs from that of Ms Forte. Surveillance footage and tapped phone conversations revealed that the son orchestrated the delivery of marijuana worth $150,000 as his father walked back and forth behind him, an FBI agent said in a criminal complaint.

The husband pleaded guilty last fall to one count of conspiracy to distribute marijuana. He was sentenced to time served, two years of probation and $20,000 in forfeiture. His son was sentenced to 18 months in prison and two years of supervised release after pleading guilty to a gun charge.

A judge said in June that Ms Forte’s son “persisted in criminal conduct even while on pretrial release” after he carried on selling cannabis.

Ms Forte’s campaign website eases its otherwise tough-on-crime policies as its calls for “expunging the records of non-violent charges for marijuana possession” following the legalisation of recreational marijuana in the state of New York last year.

“This experience has given me insights to the reforms we desperately need, including decriminalization of marijuana, expungement of marijuana violations, and restoring rights for nonviolent offenders,” she told The Daily Beast.

It remains unlawful in New York state to sell cannabis without a license and Ms Forte’s campaign site is silent on federal gun charges or violent crimes, the outlet noted, adding that legal filings by an attorney representing her son before his felony conviction included substances other than cannabis.

The Independent has reached out to the Forte campaign for comment.
