Is a Go Fund Me Page to Assist U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney Real?
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Congresswoman Claudia Tenney finance a phone system for her new local office in New Hartford; but, is it real? The answer is probably yes, sort of.
The New Hartford freshman Congresswoman, who was sworn-in last month as the NY-22 representative, has been criticized by several constituents for taking so long to set up her office. As of Friday, her phone lines still had not yet been installed.
Enter Bruce Yeti's GoFundMe page which was set up on Saturday. It's a real page to raise donations but it's probably more of a jab at the Republican Congresswoman than it is a legitimate effort to raise money to pay for her phones.
