'It’s clear as day that any Republican that has spent the past year supporting January 6 cop killers is not in the best of positions to lecture someone on public safety and support for law enforcement,' Rose said
Photo: Andrew Harnik-Pool/Getty Images January 3 was the last day of Max Rose’s first and only term in Congress representing Staten Island. Three days later, he watched the same Capitol he had served come under siege by Trump supporters. Then, after Congress reconvened, he watched 147 Republicans vote against certifying the presidential election’s results, including Nicole Malliotakis, who defeated him by six points.
After earning a Purple Heart and Bronze Star while serving in Afghanistan, Rose decided to run for Congress in the Republican-held 11th District covering Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn. It didn’t look easy, given Donald Trump won it by double digits in 2016, but Rose flipped the seat in 2018 as part of a Democratic wave that put the party in the House Speaker’s office. Two years later, though, he was turned out by voters, losing to Malliotakis by six points.
Both Rose and Malliotakis will still have to make it out of their respective primaries. Brittany Ramos DeBarros, a fellow Army veteran and community organizer, is also running for the Democratic nomination. Trump previously vowed to primary House Republicans that voted in favor of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but told the New York Post in November that Malliotakis still has his support despite her vote.
Rose praised his party for passing legislation that addressed infrastructure and the economy and for a return of civility to the White House, what he called “progress worth defending.” But he also expressed frustration at Democratic infighting about the direction the party should head in following this year’s Republican gains in New Jersey, Virginia, and the city.
