NY20: Murphy Deftly Avoids Comment on ROTC
Another update from our previous story on NY 20th CD Democratic Candidate Scott Murphy’s early writings on the appropriateness of having R.O.T.C. on college campus grounds. It seems that, during one of his campaign stops at a local V.F.W. the question was put to Mr. Murphy three times. His reaction is caught for you on film, thanks to the wonder of YouTube.
It seems that the genie is out of the bottle on this one now. In the Empire State, the Big Apple accounts for 3/5 of the state population, but Upstate provides military enlistment volunteers at a rate of 3 to 1 over their city counterparts. Virtually every small town in the 20th district boasts an American Legion Post, a V.F.W. or both. Now that this is hitting the news locally, it could spell trouble for Murphy’s congressional aspirations.
