Hoboken NJ, Since Primary Election Day, Tuesday, June 8th, Jose Arango, the Republican-in-name-only who chairs the Hudson County Republican Party, has been celebrating a great victory. 

If one were to believe his badly misspelled and severely grammatically challenged social media posts, Arango mobilized Hudson GOP forces to defeat an AOC styled socialist candidate for office.
