Homocon House Candidate Was Sanctioned By NYPD After Gun And Badge Were Stolen From Unlocked Car

Politico reports:

Republican House candidate Alison Esposito’s off-duty firearm, police identification and shield were stolen from her unlocked car in a 2016 incident that led to a reprimand by her superiors at the New York Police Department, according to documents obtained by POLITICO.

It was recommended that Esposito, who is challenging first-year Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan in a crucial House district, be docked 20 vacation days for failing to safeguard the firearm, according to a disciplinary record.

The stolen items — including Esposito’s off-duty handgun, described as a Smith & Wesson 9 mm, her NYPD identification card and police officer’s shield — were not recovered, according to an incident report filed with the Cornwall Police Department.

Read the full article. Even though nobody was ever arrested for the break-in, Esposito’s spox is claiming that the culprit was a “brazen repeat offender.” Asked how he knows that, he would not say. On her X account, Esposito merrily retweets far-right and anti-LGBTQ accounts. Esposito ran a failed campaign for New York lieutenant governor in 2022 alongside former GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin.
