Migrant charged in woman's murder rocks NY House race, as GOP incumbent accuses Dem rival of dismissing crisis

Rep. Brandon Williams urged Democrat John Mannion to apologize for a remark about Republicans worried about migrants after Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza's death.

Williams, a first-term congressman, U.S. Navy veteran and tech entrepreneur who bills himself as a political outsider, reminded voters of comments Mannion made last September blasting the "ignorance" of those in Republican jurisdictions concerned about the busing of migrants into their communities from New York City.  Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"I demand an apology from John Mannion on behalf of the Central New York citizens that he called ignorant for being concerned that the migrant crisis would ever find its way into our communities," Williams told Fox News Digital. "I think calling local voters ignorant is the height of arrogance. And it comes from a place of being really out of touch with, you know, with the average voter and with the community itself."
