On January 6, a day that will go down in infamy, Congressman Lee Zeldin showed how nothing will move him off his obsession to support Donald Trump. Not the president inciting a riot, not seeing the benign treatment of a mob of rioters invading the halls of Congress with little pushback (a lot different from how peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters were met with arrests and brutality!), not the totally unfounded claims that the election was stolen!
He still participated in the effort to stop the certification of the Electoral College. A presidential election that has withstood numerous court cases in many states that have gone nowhere. The claims of fraud, underage and deceased voters, all false.
Please, Congressman Zeldin, look around and see the true injustices that surround us: racial justice, a pandemic, health inequities, escalating food insecurity. Take some interest in these real problems and step away from Donald Trump.
Let your constituents see you make some real difference!

Master ClassI thank Barbara Ring for aptly proving my point. In response to my letter [“An Alliance,” Letters, April 11], which decried the state of civic public discourse in Hampton Bays as being overtaken by misinformation, fear-mongering and conspiracy peddling, Ring...
