Faced with a historic rout across the country, embattled MAGA-aligned politicians appear to be fleeing to the political wilds of the MAGAsphere — and lobbing grenades back at their own party, according to Gothamist.

Anthony Constantino, one of the last of New York's MAGA faithful still standing after Tuesday's vote, delivered a scathing assessment of the state party after declaring victory in his North Country congressional race, a contest that has not yet been called by officials. His profane rant, the outlet reported, “echoed what many are saying behind closed doors.”

“In NYS, the Republican Party is mostly a Con Job that helps Democrats win,” Constantino said in a post on X. “Even [failed GOP gubernatorial candidate] Bruce Blakeman was in on the con. He just wandered around like a headless chicken going from stupid dinner to stupid dinner and charming the ‘party’ while ignoring the people.”

Constantino is one of the few Republicans leading his Democratic opponent in the aftermath of Tuesday night's nationwide Republican losses, though he has not yet been declared the winner. Even before his victory was secured, however, he was already assailing the party's ineptitude, which he claimed had cost him a bigger margin in his deep-red district. Constantino complained that the state party had opposed him and his right-wing politics in the primary, which he won narrowly. The CEO said the party's opposition forced him to fund his own campaign with $17 million of his own money.

Gothamist reported that Constantino is not alone; many party critics now complain that the GOP has lost its way amid decades of dysfunction. “The state hasn’t fielded a viable Republican candidate for New York City mayor in 25 years. The last time a Republican won statewide office was in 2002,” the outlet noted. It added that the party “appeared poised for a comeback four years ago after a better-than-expected showing in the governor’s race and sweeping Long Island’s four congressional districts,” but that much of those gains were quickly lost. That record — a statewide drought stretching back more than two decades and the quick erosion of the Long Island sweep — is the backdrop against which this week's recriminations are playing out.

On Wednesday, outgoing Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Republican who abandoned her bid for governor late last year, told the New York Post that the party should be “built from scratch,” calling Blakeman's bid “a low energy campaign with limited resources that lacked an apparatus.”

Blakeman hit back on X as tempers flared, calling Stefanik a “selfish, do nothing politician that didn’t lift a finger to help Republican candidates in New York this year.” The public back-and-forth underscored how the post-election blame game has spilled into the open rather than staying behind closed doors.

After Tuesday's beatdown, many Republicans are demanding a rebuild before the party evaporates. Former Rep. Marc Molinaro, who served in the Trump administration, also called for a party revamp. “I don't make it personal, but there needs to be change,” Molinaro said. “This was an a—— whipping. It just was.” With Constantino's race still uncalled by officials and Stefanik, Blakeman and Molinaro each pointing in different directions, who would lead any rebuild — and what it would look like — remains the unresolved question hanging over the state party.
