ALBANY, N.Y. — A Republican congresswoman from upstate New York said Wednesday that “many” people who commit mass murder turn out to be Democrats. Democratic state Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi, who is opposing Tenney this fall, called her comments “disgusting” and “toxic” and urged her to apologize. “I am fed up with the media and liberals attempting to politicize tragedies and demonize law-abiding gun owners and conservative Americans every time there is a horrible tragedy,” she said. I will continue to stand up for law-abiding citizens who are smeared by anti-gun liberal elitists.”Tenney was first elected in 2016. Her district covers a large swath of central New York including the cities of Binghamton, Utica and Rome.
