Republican candidate Constantino ejected from GOP meeting after accusing rival Smullen of lying; Smullen endorsed by committee.
Anthony Constantino, a Republican candidate for New York’s 21st Congressional District, was escorted out of a St. Lawrence County GOP meeting after accusing State Assemblyman Robert Smullen of lying about him and his business during a presentation.
Committee Chair Nancy Martin said Constantino was disruptive and disrespectful, violating meeting rules.
Sheriff Patrick Engle, present as a guest, asked Constantino to leave, which he did without physical force.
The meeting proceeded to endorse Smullen, who has since gained support from multiple county GOP committees.
Constantino claimed he was silenced unfairly and maintained he would run in the June 23 primary, calling endorsements a marketing tool.
The incident highlights growing tensions between the two GOP rivals ahead of the endorsement process.
