In response to Donald Trump Jr.’s appearance with Rep. Lee Zeldin in St. James today, Democratic National Committee spokesperson John Weber released the following statement:

“Whatever Don Jr. says to his rich friends today, he can’t spin his father’s broken promises: his health care agenda spikes costs and jeopardizes coverage protections for people with preexisting conditions, his tax scam will raise taxes on hardworking New Yorkers while giving handouts to corporations and the wealthy, and at every turn he’s made life harder for working families. New Yorkers know who Trump really is — he has always talked a big game and failed to deliver.

“If Lee Zeldin had a shred of integrity, he would be ashamed to show his face today. Instead, he can look forward to joining the Trumps for a long-promised retirement next year.”
