Ride to Riot Offer Roils Stamford Republicans.
This Facebook offer from Stamford Republicans to provide transportation to last week’s demonstration-turned-riot-turned failed insurrection continues to cause questions among local Republicans and others. Of most interest is who went and what did they do while there.
The email on the post is associated with local activist Arthur “Cort” Wrotnowski.
It is unusual to include in post a photo of gun laws in the jurisdiction where a political event is being held. That was an indication of the sort of travel plans likely passengers make. Something completely different than assurances that there would be time to stop for breakfast or if there’d be a way to charge phones in the livery.
There’s never a good time to be associated with an event that became a national trauma–at which a Capitol police office and veteran was murdered–but it is especially bad as Stamford Republicans might have been able to take advantage of a fractious Democratic contest for mayor this year.
