It is my Great Honor to endorse Peter Oberacker, an incredible Candidate who is running to represent the fantastic people of New York's 19th Congressional District. He is running against Josh Riley, a true Radical Left Extremist who does not represent the Values of Central New York. Josh Riley wants Open Borders, Men playing in Women's Sports, Transgender for Everyone, Defund the Police, and wants to take away your Second Amendment, meaning, your guns. Sadly, he voted against the Biggest Tax Cut in History, and fought ferociously to knock out Rural Healthcare, a big factor in New York's District 19. He represented Sleepy Joe Biden as his Counsel, in the White House. How did that work out? He is totally controlled by the Radical Left who have only one goal in mind, DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY! Peter Oberacker, on the other hand, is a very successful "Meat Market" Businessman, Dedicated Public Servant, and now, as State Senator, who has strongly served his Community with a career "loaded up" with accolades and wins. As your next Congressman, he will fight tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, Advance Election Integrity, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Peter Oberacker has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from New York's 19th Congressional District – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!

"Josh Riley voted against the Biggest Tax Cut in History"

Half True

This claim contains a true core wrapped in a false characterization. Riley did vote against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), which passed the House 218-214 on July 3, 2025. All 212 House Democrats, including Riley, voted against it alongside two Republicans (Massie and Fitzpatrick). So the vote itself is factual. However, calling it 'the Biggest Tax Cut in History' is misleading. PolitiFact rated the 'biggest tax cut' characterization as 'Mostly False.' The Tax Foundation found that when including the extension of 2017 TCJA provisions, the bill ranks third among tax cut laws since 1980 (behind Reagan's 1981 tax cut at 3.5% of cumulative five-year GDP and Obama's 2012 tax cut extension at 1.7%, with the 2025 bill at 1.4%). When counting only genuinely new tax provisions, it ties for sixth at 0.5% of GDP. Furthermore, Riley opposed the bill not because he opposes tax cuts broadly, but because the legislation included deep cuts to Medicaid and other social programs. He subsequently co-sponsored bipartisan legislation to address rural hospital funding shortfalls caused by the bill's spending cuts. The claim is half true: the vote happened, but the 'Biggest Tax Cut in History' framing is factually inaccurate.

"Riley represented Sleepy Joe Biden as his Counsel in the White House"

Unverifiable

Would need to verify Riley's specific role; this appears to be a reference to some advisory or legal role but the characterization may be exaggerated.

"Riley wants to Defund the Police"

False

Josh Riley has explicitly and repeatedly stated he opposes defunding the police. On his campaign website, Riley states he is 'adamantly opposed to proposals to defund the police' and 'believes that public safety requires more resources, not fewer.' In an October 2022 radio interview with Ithaca's Morning News, Riley said he supports law enforcement and has 'never ever' suggested defunding police, adding 'I'm not going to defund my mom' (his mother was a probation officer for nearly two decades). He has supported increased police funding through programs like Byrne JAG and COPS. FactCheck.org investigated this claim in 2022 when Republican Super PACs ran ads implying Riley supported defunding police. The fact-check found the ads distorted his record. While Riley accepted an endorsement from the Working Families Party, which has expressed support for police defunding, FactCheck.org noted that accepting an endorsement does not mean adopting all positions of the endorsing group. The NRCC later characterized Riley's vote against the One Big Beautiful Bill as a vote to 'defund law enforcement,' but this is a partisan characterization of a comprehensive budget bill that included many provisions beyond policing. This identical 'defund the police' attack line appears in multiple Trump endorsements issued the same day against different Democratic opponents, confirming it is a generic campaign attack rather than a policy-specific claim.

Analysis: Congressional Endorsement of Peter Oberacker (NY-19)

This is a formulaic congressional endorsement post following an identical template to several other endorsements issued the same day (Clay Fuller GA-14, Chris McGowan IA-4, Mike LiPetri NY-3). The structure is rigid: honorific opening → attack opponent → praise candidate → policy list → closing superlative.

Authorship

Posted at 7:37 PM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or White House). The post is clearly aide-drafted: perfect grammar, professional formatting, extensive policy enumeration, and identical structural template across multiple endorsements. The boilerplate phrases ("Complete and Total Endorsement," "HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN") are standard Scavino/staff constructions.

Rhetorical Template

The attack on Josh Riley follows the exact same formula used against Tom Suozzi in the NY-3 endorsement posted the same day — nearly word-for-word identical attack lines ("Open Borders, Men playing in Women's Sports, Transgender for Everyone, Defund the Police"). This copy-paste approach confirms batch production by staff.

Psychological Content

Despite being aide-written, the template reflects Trump's characteristic splitting (all-good candidate vs. all-bad opponent), catastrophizing ("DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY"), and the consistent framing of political opposition as existential threat.
