Peter King rose from the ranks of a Republican dominated Nassau County. Town of Hempstead to be specific. If you worked for the town back then you had to pledge your allegiance to the party before getting hired. Once you were hired you were required to buy tickets to every fund raiser they held. If you wanted to get ahead you had to “volunteer” to work on campaigns. There was a big scandal about this years ago. He escaped unscathed. ( I know I was there)
He is now testing the waters for a presidential run. He should probably primary against Hillary the way he acts.
He represents the area where I used to live. Didn’t get any better because I’m now in MA.
