Hakeem Jeffries’ re-election bid boosted by ‘sick’ NYC Dems running ‘beloved’ dead community leader on same ticket: critics

Ghoulish Democratic bosses promoted a dead man as a candidate in southern Brooklyn while soliciting petition signatures to help get House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries back on the ballot, The Post has learned.

Robert Gevertzman, a longtime community leader who died in March 2025 at the age of 76, shockingly cleared the petition-checking process, records show.

He is now slated to be below Jeffries on the Democratic ticket and run unopposed in next month’s primary for a seat on the Kings County Democratic Committee.

The Democratic dirty tricks didn’t end with raising the dead.

Borough party leaders also deployed a one-armed man who was caught in a series of bizarre videos this week claiming longtime lefty operative Joey Cohen-Saban isn’t a Democrat to help him secure enough signatures to qualify for a third-party line and boost his candidacy in a tight race to unseat state Assemblyman Michael Novakhov (R-Brooklyn).

Cohen-Saban, as the local Democratic district leader, along with Brooklyn Democratic Party Chairperson and state Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, are the main culprits in the alleged efforts to mislead voters, Novakhov and other borough Republican honchos contend.

“Running dead people shocks the conscience, and so does lying to and misleading the voters about which party you represent. It is disgraceful, dishonest, and an insult to the voters of this district and to the Gevertzman family,” said Novakhov.

Gevertzman, a former long-serving member of Brooklyn Community Board 15, was a centrist Democrat.

Even ONE vote for Hakeem Jeffries would be a mistake in my opinion.

“...Wonder if Hakeem’s mouth could suck a golf ball through a garden hose...”

Naaa....The “dollar store obama” probably can’t, but the real one most certainly could. Just ask Big Mike.....LOL.
