Garrett pretty closely and I seriously can't believe you posted this thing. He's been a regular on your show and Fox Biz as it is, and since we're in the NY market with such outsized personalities like Schumer hogging the local news coverage, these are rare chances for us to see Garrett's insights. He's kept coming back even though you guys have gotten his positions wrong in your introductions, forcing him to waste the air time correcting you. Now you've gone and posted what appears to have been intended to be a private e-mail from his press sec. Granted, it was gushing and probably made you feel good. Did you get the okay for this, or did you just decide the e-mail was automatically on the record? I criticize Garrett for a lot, but I wouldn't blame him for not coming on your show again if you didn't get the green light. There's a certain amount of courtesy you should clearly exhibit, and without some disclaimer showing you got the green light to post this, one has to believe you don't have said professional courtesy. I sincerely hope you haven't just cost my District one of the few chances we get to see our guy explain what he thinks, whether or not we agree with what he says. I follow Rep.
