The New York Young Republicans are under fire from the Democrat establishment for planning to hold an in-person event as Gov. Andrew Cuomo is instituting another business-crippling lockdown.
The group is not backing down under fire, as evidenced by a Twitter thread from the group’s president, Gavin Wax. Wax has said that his group will strike back in court if state thugs unduly restrict their 1st Amendment right to organize politically.
1/5) If NY Democrat officials try to shut down our event the @NYYRC is prepared to file suit in federal court against all of these officials. When elected officials intentionally violate constitutional rights they do not enjoy the protections of taxpayer indemnification either.

3/5) For the @NYYRC this is about the bedrock of American society and a battle we are willing to wage against these tyrants starting now and for long after they have left office.
They will not interfere with our sacred First Amendment rights.

5/5) The @NYYRC will fight back and have already been communicating with lawyers who will be seeking communications related to this incident through Freedom of Information Law requests and litigating any denial of such requests.

Additionally, Wax appeared on the “War Room” podcast to discuss the entire situation on Wednesday:
Joined one of the biggest podcasts in America today with my friend @VishBurra to discuss Cuomo's attempts to shut down the @NYYRC gala. Notable mentions include "Neckbeard" @JRSterne and the rest of the Nipple Ring Goonsquad.

Big League Politics has covered the New York Young Republican club as they have stood boldly against Cuomo’s persecution of Jewish groups:
A controversial crack down by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio against Hasidic Jews was met with sharp criticism by Gavin Wax, the president of the New York Young Republican Club.
Earlier this week, many Hasidic Jews took to the streets to protest Governor Andrew Cuomo’s new restrictions on schools, businesses, and places of worship in nine neighborhoods with rising Wuhan virus cases.
The New York Young Republican Club criticized the de Blasio government’s “radical and inconsistent enforcement actions” against Jewish worshippers practicing their faith during, Sukkot, an important Jewish holiday.
In a statement it released on October 8, 2020, the New York Young Republican Club asserted that “The rights of all Americans to assemble, whether in religious celebration or protest, cannot and should not be infringed and even in a global pandemic can be observed with the proper safeguards and health awareness.”
The Republican organization called attention to how New York City leadership has messed up political priorities by “allowing extremism from left to continue unabated and un-policed, from blocking streets and bridges to looting and rioting, while not hesitating to condemn and disturb the peaceful exercise of Jews’ religious rites.”
In addition, it argued that “arbitrary application of regulations and safeguards under the guise of public health and safety reeks of selective priority and in a time when so many have died, while some turn to government and progressivism as a religion for comfort, others turn to God and de Blasio should not stand in the way.”
More populist anger is rapidly building against Cuomo and other lockdown proponents who want to replace the Bill of Rights and Constitution with permanent technocracy.
The New York Young Republicans event is scheduled to take place at 6pm tonight in an undisclosed location. The guests of honor will be Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and journalist James O’Keefe.
