“I ask very deliberately that he won the presidential election,” Lizza said.
“Yes, and then I continue with an answer,” Zeldin said. ‘If you want to give me my answer, you can do it. But I thought I would be here to answer my own questions. ‘
Lizza explained and said he was asking if Biden would win the presidency.
‘You’re asking me a third time now and I’ve said yes twice already. So I do not know how many times you want me to say yes and what your agenda is. But, really, it’s a little ridiculous to ask me a third time. But please, go ahead and ask me again, ‘said Zeldin.
Palmeri supported Lizza, saying he only gave clarity to ensure it was correct.
“You have a fourth time,” Zeldin said.
“I would not call it a question,” Palmeri said.
“You can also go a fifth time next time,” Zeldin replies.
“Is every time a question?” Palmeri, laughing. “We can keep going.”
“Of course, let’s do it a sixth time,” Zeldin said.
Zeldin went to the House floor after the violent uprising in the Capitol on January 6 to object to the certification of the presidential election results in 2020, referring to what he calls ‘proven issues’ with the government’s election. There is no evidence of widespread fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
Zeldin is actively investigating a bid for the governor of New York amid allegations of harassment, sexual harassment and fraudulent calls against government Andrew Cuomo, which is facing resignations from numerous prominent Democrats.
A majority of New York House members now say Cuomo’s term should end, which would be enough to accuse him.
