Welcome to what is the 902nd original profile here at “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day”, where we’ll be discussing Antoine Tucker, a candidate running to be the next U.S. House Representative from New York’s 14th Congressional District, hoping he can be the guy to upset Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (he won’t be, you’ll understand in a moment).
Antoine Tucker is, by most accounts, a write-in candidate in NY-14 who promotes himself as “the first ex-felon that’s Black and Hispanic to run for Congress in the history of the nation”, which boasting that you’re a convicted crack dealer might not be the best pitch to voters. Let alone when you have an alias like Tony Montaga, which… we’re not sure if that’s the MAGA version of Tony Montana, and he’s just awful at wordplay.
Tucker generally seems to be doing this for publicity for… well, we don’t know his end game, just that Donald Trump Jr. has supported his run for office because they have a mutual love of conspiracy theories and an unreasonable hatred of Democrats not based in reality that would make something like the Qanon conspiracy theory sound plausible. His “politics” amount to promoting the Anon conspiray theory and swearing about Democrats and the media. But bizarrely campaigning on the same issues that party supports. Outside of Qanon, Tucker also posted videos on Instagram where he has claimed Covid-19 is a “hoax” perpetuated by Bill Gates. So at least he hasn’t put all his crazy eggs in the same basket.
Tucker also has already drawn the attention of the FEC for failing to submit a Q4 report, meaning he’s very likely going to be fined, and campaign finance experts have noted that his entire candidacy seems to be a money laundering scheme to direct money towards “Jeld Productions”, which lists itself as a “social media marketing” company. However, Jeld Productions has no social media presence, and its address is actually an apartment complex in New York City. The closest company that does exist to Jeld Productions that does exist is a “Jeld Electronics” listed on a DJ Directory. It seems… like he’s going to get fined by the FEC, which takes some level of brazen stupidity to actually have happen these days.
Anyway, Antoine Tucker won’t be winning s*** come November, and we wish his tattoo parlor the best of luck, because it will keep him out of politics where he will do no one any good, at any point.
