27. New York's Attorney General is not far right
Sun Feb 21, 2021, 06:48 AM
Feb 2021

Her name is Letitia James. She is New York's first African-American Attorney General. She is a Democrat who was elected in 18.

Previously she served as New York City Public Advocate and on the NYC City Council.

Her office is currently investigating Trump as well as Facebook for anti-trust violations and suing to dissolve the National Rifle Association.

It was her office that issued the report on Gov. Cuomo that showed nursing home covid deaths had been misreported.

She is not a right wing stooge doing a republican hit job on Cuomo. She is a good progressive Democrat doing her job for the people of New York State.

If we have the same knee jerk reaction to defend democrats when they are legitimately criticized for mistakes, then we are no better than republicans who do the same.
