Rep. Lee Zeldin: When Tragedy Strikes, We Need To Rally Around Our Community Instead Of Just Pointing Blame

New York Congressman Lee Zeldin joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to tell us about the communities stepping up around Buffalo to help those in need.

“I’m in Buffalo now, at the Resource Council of Western New York. And at this location, they set up this food distribution site. There are people all over the country trying to figure out how to get their hands on baby formula. Well, this site had everything from the baby formula to the diapers to the bananas, to the produce, the other produce. There were a lot of people from the community coming in, volunteers coming in from around the region, even coming from outside of the state. You have had the NHL, Buffalo Sabers there. They have been stepping up and helping. The Buffalo Bill’s located there. They’ve been showing up. The NHL commissioner, the NFL commissioner and then even though Tops supermarket is one type of a supermarket. You have Wegmans and other supermarkets all joining forces. Amazon deliveries coming in from all across the country all day long and they’re just pushing it out to the community. Yesterday, the McRig, apparently McDonald’s has this big rig. It came out, you know, earlier this week. And you’re seeing so many different examples of not just every level of government, but people outside of the government, anonymous private, generous donors all stepping up. And it’s I mean, it blew me away. It was very inspirational. See, the way that community was getting rallied around each other and being supported by surrounding communities.”

Gubernatorial candidate Zeldin also discussed the rash of crimes being committed in NYC that don’t get the publicity shootings do, but also need to be addressed.  To hear what else he had to say, listen to the podcast!
