Cuomo's Replacement Chooses Anti-Cop, Defund Police Advocate As Lt. Governor
[POLICETRIBUNE] Newly-sworn New York Governor Kathy Hochul chose an avowed supporter of the defund-the-police movement to be her lieutenant governor on Wednesday.Hochul, who had pledged to diversify her administration, chose New York State Senator Brian Benjamin, a black Democrat from Harlem, to be her No. 2, the Times Union reported.

Benjamin, who was running for state comptroller when he was chosen by Hochul, has described himself as progressive and has loudly and publicly supported efforts to defund the New York Police Department (NYPD).

Hochul became governor at midnight on Aug. 23 after now-former New York Governor Andrew Sonny Cuomo
...Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he has about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he will probably run again on his record.....
resigned in disgrace amidst allegations of sexual harassment.

Benjamin publicly endorsed defunding the police in a social media post in January.

"I support the movement to defund the police because I believe that there are parts of the NYPD budget that are not essential for public safety," Benjamin tweeted along with the image of a longer, more formal statement as part of his campaign for comptroller.

#2 I feel bad for the "Up-staters" that will get trounced but the New Yawkers will get what they voted for good and hard. You thought "Sonny" Cuomo was bad? The exodus will continue.
