The Bizarre Backstory of the Trump-Endorsed Sticker Mogul Who Could Be Headed to Congress

Anthony Constantino, a 43-year-old Republican nominee for the 21st congressional district in upstate New York, is known for his staunch support of former President Donald Trump. The businessman has turned his printing company, Sticker Mule, into a platform for Trumpian propaganda, including a statue, a massive "Vote for Trump" sign, and an album titled "Thank You President Trump."

Constantino, who has been endorsed by Trump, defeated the party-backed Assemblyman Robert Smullen by a wide margin in the recent election. He is now seen as a potential replacement for retiring Rep. Elise Stefanik. Stefanik, once hailed as a moderate, became a vocal Trump supporter but faced public backlash after being rejected for the UN ambassador position.

Constantino, on the other hand, embraces MAGA's more aggressive style. He has used strong language against political opponents, made provocative gestures in his music videos, and has a history of questionable business dealings. Despite criticism from some within the Republican Party, Constantino's endorsement by Trump and his strong showing in the election make him a strong contender to replace Stefanik if she steps down.
