\nQuote – But what Forte has failed to mention is that her family\u2019s beverage distribution warehouse was at the center of a federal drug and gun bust in 2019\u2014which culminated in guilty pleas by her husband and son, both of whom are serial offenders. In a 2020 Facebook post, Forte placed her business at an address on the Bronx\u2019s Stillwell Avenue, and in her financial disclosures to the House Clerk\u2019s office she stated her husband\u2019s income derived from a company incorporated in this same building. It was this exact location that a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent identified as the site of the crimes of Joseph \u201cJoey Snapple\u201d Galdieri\u2014to whom Forte is married, according to records in suburban Rockland County, where the pair own a home well outside the congressional district\u2019s borders\u2014and their son Joseph Galdieri Jr.

\nQuote – Well, now I get a chance to tell Congress why this is insane…. My aim is to state as clearly as possible that the underlying problem is not wage-price inflation. It\u2019s profit-price inflation. And the Fed\u2019s continuing rate hikes will hurt average workers by slowing the economy \u2014 making it harder for workers to get wage increases and causing many to lose their jobs…. I\u2019m going to add my testimony to this post right after I testify this morning \u2014 and fill you in on what happened.
