Not only did the powerful New York Democrat lose on Election Day to GOP challenger Mike Lawler, but he also lost two “freshly restored vintage cars” in a massive fire. “Here I was thinking that waking up yesterday to the sad news that two of my recently restored vintage cars had burned in a warehouse fire in Ohio was the worst news of the day!” Maloney’s husband, Randy Florke, posted on Instagram Wednesday — hours after the congressman admitted. The post included a terrifying photo of the raging fire, along with a pair of snapshots showing the charred remains of two vehicles – both burned almost beyond recognition, windows shattered and hoods covered in ash. Florke, a real estate executive and former model, has often shown off his classic wheels on social media. Rep. Maloney’s husband, Randy Florke, posted a photo on Instagram of the fire.

Maloney’s campaign sank when he advised struggling New Yorkers to start “eating Chef Boyardee” in the face of out-of-control inflation.
