Connecticut Atty General Tong sees job as battling ‘profound threat’ of Trump administration
The Hartford Courant ^ | October 1, 2019 | Josh Kovner

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and his 26 Democratic colleagues across the country are acting essentially as one organism as they challenge the Trump administration on nearly every front ⁠— immigration, health care, women’s rights, the environment, gun control and social justice.

Tong, who took office in January, said the Trump era “in many ways is posing an unprecedented risk to our country, not just a momentary threat, but a profound threat that colors a lot of what we are forced to talk about and confront.”

As such, he’s unapologetic about the crush of press releases flowing out of his office at 55 Elm St. The notices announce that he has signed on with other states to fight the latest proposed Trump rollback or rule change, whether it is one seen as weakening California’s emissions standards, watering down the national Endangered Species Act, narrowing access by legal immigrants to public assistance, cutting food stamps, removing safeguards against discrimination in health care or threatening women’s reproductive rights.

Soros has been funding and promoting elections for state attorney generals and local prosecutors. He has been very successful.

Sure. They send their kids to Coke Academy, Pomfret, or some other chichi private establishment. New England is rife with exclusive preppy schools.

The Greenwich crowd probably are tax sheltered and pay little or no taxes anyway.

“I am counting on it.”

Okay, to what end? Just what do you intend to do? These are powerful, entrenched people, who will stop at nothing to achieve their objectives.

WOW! You are more concerned with making money than trying to stop this attack on our Country’s future? If that is true, than we have no further basis for dialog. Goodbye.
