In response to Congressional candidate Tedra Cobb joining NY-21 veterans in condemnation of the use of 10th Mountain Division soldiers, or any members of the US military to police the streets of American cities: As a member of the Democratic party I must take exception to Tedra Cobb’s recent tweet about Pres. Trump and Elise Stefanik concerning mobilizing the military.

While I agree that this is an overreaction to the current situation, I do not want to see my political party represented by someone making such a crass remark.

In hindsight I am sure Ms. Cobb will see that she could have made her comments in a dignified manner, one which is representative of the party she seeks to represent.
