Simply after we thought Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney couldn’t make himself any extra of a sanctimonious instrument comes information of his pathetic bid to present sympathy for households slammed by inflation.

The query was: “Hudson Valley residents are feeling ache on the pump and at grocery shops, what have you ever accomplished, and what do you intend to do to assist resolve our inflation drawback?”

His reply started: “Yeah, effectively, I grew up in a household the place, you realize, if the fuel worth went up, the meals funds went down. . . . So by this time of the week, we’d be consuming Chef Boyardee if that funds wasn’t gonna change. In order that’s what households need to do.”

We assure, households are already making higher sacrifices than that. And for the document, for some us of about the identical age, Chef Boyardee was a deal with in good instances.

Equally lame was Maloney’s bragging about how Democrats are serving to:

• Limits on seniors’ Medicare prices, which received’t assist anybody below 65.

• On fuel costs, first: extra Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases. However the SPR’s now at its lowest stage in 4 many years, and the principle pump-price aid has come from lowered demand as folks drive much less to save lots of.

• Plus shifting to “surge the manufacturing of vitality, notably renewable vitality,” when Dems have accomplished nothing to “surge” fossil-fuel manufacturing (even now, it’s completely the reverse — and Maloney desires increased taxes on oil firms as if that’ll get them pumping extra) and “renewable vitality” received’t transfer your automotive until you'll be able to afford a Tesla.

Maloney is an utter sleaze, who ran for 2 places of work without delay in 2018 as a part of then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s vendetta towards progressive gadfly Zephyr Teachout. This 12 months, he didn’t even hassle with a courtesy name to Rep. Mondaire Jones earlier than declaring he’d run in Jones’ district after the courts rejected the gerrymander that Maloney urged the Legislature to impose in defiance of the voters’ will.

He’s additionally a mastermind of the cynical Dem technique of backing MAGA candidates on this 12 months’s GOP primaries that now seems poised to blow again big-time.

Republicans and independents can fortunately vote for his opponent, Mike Lawler. Democrats ought to reject Maloney as a result of he’s a clueless, dirty-dealing pig.
