NY GOP lawmaker wins primary days after killing himself
MSN AP ^ | September 14, 2016

Days after killing himself, a vocal advocate for gun rights and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has won a New York primary election.

Assemblyman Bill Nojay was facing a fraud trial in Cambodia and reportedly under FBI scrutiny when he went to his family's cemetery plot in Rochester and shot himself in front of an arriving police officer on Friday.

Now the defeat Tuesday of challenger Richard Milne coupled with a quirk in state election law means that local GOP leaders, who encouraged voters to choose Nojay despite his death, get to pick someone to take on Democrat Barbara Baer in November. Nojay's Republican-leaning district in the Legislature's lower chamber covers parts of suburban Rochester and the Finger Lakes region.

Shame he saw no other choice but to end his life.

Unlike a black, inner-city (or Muslim “cleric” ) arrested for terrorism, assault, or corruption, the AP got his Trump associations right in the first phrase of the first sentence, didn’t it?

By the way, wasn’t there a democrat SENATOR who got elected after dying SPECIFICALLY by campaigning several WEEKS before the 2000 election in the compliant press and national TV audiences of Hillary’s (then Gore’s and Pelosi and Reid) national press corpse?

Could they have phrased that sentence any more awkwardly?

this is in my neck of the woods...My MIL went to church with his folks years ago. Bill was a nice guy - had a conservative radio show and was well liked by everyone including dems...he was also a staunch 2A supporter. This came as a huge shock to everyone. He left a lovely wife and several children

A veritable tossed word-salad.

In the rush to connect Trump (somehow! must find a way!) with a negative story, the author must have forgotten to check how an inattentive reader (are there any others looking at MSN?) would possibly see it:

a vocal advocate for gun rights and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has won a New York primary election.

Heh. Of course, the article had to mention Trump, otherwise nobody would have looked at it.
