‘It is a disgusting disgrace’: New York congresswoman booed off stage as voters decide they’d rather have the Epstein files than a new Governor

A prominent congresswoman from New York, United States Representative Elise Stefanik, encountered a hostile reception from a crowd in the town of Plattsburgh. The incident, which took place during a local event on August 18 to pay tribute to a recently deceased politician, saw the representative met with a series of loud jeers from the audience. The disapproval from the crowd was so severe and consistent that she ultimately found it impossible to continue her speech.

She was forced to abandon her turn at the microphone and hand it to another individual on the stage. The public outcry was vocal and pointed. Individuals in the crowd loudly shouted “Shame!” and “release the Epstein files!” It’s clear that her decisions during the Epstein case are still on the minds of the public.
