AOC-backed candidate Tiffany Cabán declares victory in tightly contested Queens DA race
NYPost ^ | June 25, 2019

Insurgent candidate Tiffany Cabán — who has vowed to institute a slate of left-leaning criminal-justice reforms — declared victory over establishment favorite Melinda Katz Tuesday night in a tight Democratic primary race for Queens district attorney, but Katz refused to concede.

Cabán, endorsed by fellow progressives like Bronx-Queens Rep. Alexandria ­Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, got 39.6 percent of the vote to Katz’s 38.3 percent, with 99 percent of precincts reporting.

Since Cabán’s lead stood at 1.3 percentage points, it was above the 0.5-point threshold that would make a recount mandatory.

How many votes were cast? Occasio-Cortez won her seat with a paltry 18,000 votes. If so few people turn out to vote, perhaps because so much of the foreign population of NY is illegal, the Left can win these elections. The Communists triumph when good men do nothing.

It is amazing that a public defender and pro-criminal advocate like Caban actually wins the DA job which requires prosecution of criminals. This never used to happen...

“”Democratic””

DEMOCRAT!!!! Maybe by the time the year ends, we’ll have corrected everyone’s use of the word “democratic” to DEMOCRAT which is the proper term.

The voters believe that party is “democratic” and the other party (Republicans) is not! Gotta break the mold!

Tell it to Sean Hannity. He always says “The Democratic Party.”

Then again, he thinks 99.9% of the worthless FBI are “good guys.” Sure they are, Sean. Uh-huh.

A Dem could run as an independent and use name recognition to get a victory.

I wonder if this will start to scare the “old guard” of the NYC Democratic Party.

Correct. (I get tired of it, it’s so ubiquitous).

It’s like we’re conceding the psyops portion of their propaganda. I wish we’d get a grip.

The FBI agent is an honorable man; they are all honorable men.

It is amazing that a public defender and pro-criminal advocate like Caban actually wins the DA job which requires prosecution of criminals...exactly what's going on with Soros' takeover of the criminal justice system - the Soros- backed new DA in Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, actually refers to himself as a "defense-lawyer with clout" - weekend before last there were over twenty shootings in Philly - last weekend, a dozen - the thugs are loving it......

“”Tell it to Sean Hannity. He always says “The Democratic Party””

I have even written to him...he ignores everything. He’s really getting impossible to take..the cutesy “am I over the target - did I get it right?” When we were young kids, we called that “fishing for a compliment”. Slapping his hands together like a child? It is really juvenile behavior...and I can’t believe someone hasn’t told him that it’s really unprofessional. He has a better grasp on everything taking place than anyone else and he doesn’t need to draw attention to himself like that - which is what he’s doing. He must put more effort into his work than others by having the radio AND TV shows so he’s soaking up a lot of information.
I appreciate the information - but NOT THE CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS when he has guests and he can’t tell anyone he’s not aware of that horrible habit...

Who knows - he could be a FReeper and could get the message here!
