Who is Letitia James and could she be any worse than the Comrade head of the NY City Council?
Letitia James is the Public Advocate. That is a NYC office for which an election takes place at the same time as the Mayoral election. When she was running for office, she was even outdoing De Blasio in attacking the police. Far left positions - she was there.
Now that De Blasio is in deep doo-doo, she is back-tracking somewhat - saying he should not have used the word “alleged” when referring to the punching and kicking of police officers on the Brooklyn Bridge; and that he should have resolved contract negotiations with the police a long time ago.
The Public Advocate is next in line for Mayor, should something happen to the regular Mayor. The fact that she is not falling in line with the other Democrats in jumping to the defense of De Blasio shows that De Blasio is not as secure in his position as some would assume.
