ICYMI: Pat Ryan Downplays Border Crisis

ICYMI: Pat Ryan Downplays Border Crisis

September 16, 2024

In a bombshell new report by Fox News, Pat Ryan is exposed for dismissing the border crisis. When asked on a friendly Zoom call with Democrat activists, Ryan chalked up the border crisis as GOP "fear mongering," all the while not pushing back on claims by call attendees that the crime issue was "BS."

This shouldn't come as a surprise given Pat Ryan turned Ulster County into a sanctuary county during his time as town executive.

The reality is Pat Ryan is just another radical who voted against:

  • Restarting building the border wall
  • Ending catch and release
  • Implementing Remain in Mexico
  • Deploying technology to the southern and northern border
  • Increasing the number of Border Patrol agents
  • Strengthening the asylum process
  • Reimbursing states for costs incurred while securing the border

"Pat Ryan made Ulster County a sanctuary county and then took that same mentality to Washington where he pretends to be a moderate on television, but then votes like an extremist. He does not care about the important issues facing NY-18, like the ongoing migrant crisis that is harming New Yorkers every day." - NRCC Spokeswoman Savannah Viar
