Nothing Trumps McMurray
Here, in two snapshots, is the difference between Nate McMurray getting his way vs. Nate McMurray not getting his way. It is an illustration of how Nate McMurray behaves when he is soliciting help for his campaign (March 2018) vs. Nate McMurray being his nasty, dishonorable, toxic self (right now).
Wow! What a great guy and a super team player! Oh, wait – that was March 2018. Here’s how it’s going in March 2024:
Every time Nate loses an election, his would-be constituents dodge a bullet with a Trump-sized ego.
He is as condescending as Trump. He thinks himself so much better than everyone else, like Trump. Despite having only served as supervisor of a rich island suburb, he now denigrates people who want to be “dog catcher” in Cheektowaga or a committeeperson from an inner city ED as “district leader of porto-potties.” I have never seen levels of This guy is as attention-seeking as Trump and plays the victim like Trump. Like Trump, he hurls nasty epithets and insults at people he doesn’t like. He is a phony like Trump – kiss his ass, he’ll talk you up. Ignore him, and the narcissistic rage seeks limp retribution – like threatening to assault someone with cake on their birthday at a fundraiser no one wants him to attend.
What are we – on failed race number 5? (Three times for Congress, (or is it two?), once for CE, once for the Congressional special, and now the Congressional general? Someday, he’ll give up and go back to trying to keep a regular job.
Oh, and like Trump, he’s busy being the defendant in two defamation cases in NY State Supreme Court in Monroe County, so there’s always that.
Don’t forget — Nate McMurray is also a plaintiff. He’s got a long-running lawsuit against Delaware North for wrongful dismissal he claims is based on “fighting Donald Trump” (but of course) and being the electoral opponent of the owners’ nephew, former GOP Rep. Chris Jacobs, who defeated McMurray — curb-stomped McMurray, really — for the NY-27 Congressional seat.
McMurray had been receiving his salary and spending all his working hours campaigning for Congress when COVID-19 hit. His campaigning included a lot of vituperative denigration on Twitter and elsewhere of the evil Jacobs family which had been putting food on his family’s table. That endearing behavior, which is typical for the snake Nate McMurray, plus the fact that they had been getting little to no work from him during his unending campaigning, no doubt contributed to Delaware North’s decision to put McMurray on unpaid leave when COVID-19 had them doing so for other employees.
Is Nate McMurray a worthless piece of shit? Reasonable minds may differ (Pro Tip: YES) but it is abundantly clear that he’s arrogant, condescending, disloyal, and selfish. We already have enough of those. McMurray is not fit for public office and decent people should be cheering for his fourth (or is it fifth) successive electoral failure.
So sad. Multiply the stooge Nate by the innumerable political jurisdictions across our fair land inhabited by those who’ve been enabled by drinking the MAGA hemlock and ascended to power. Hard to be – in Robert Reich’s term – a nauseous optimist in these days.
