A host of progressive New York politicos, including the Working Families Party, withdrew their support of Scott Stringer’s mayoral candidacy Friday days after one of the city comptroller’s former interns lodged a sexual abuse allegation against him.
The withdrawals came down Friday as something of an unofficial verdict in a court of public opinion surrounding the allegations made by a former Stringer staffer, Jean Kim, who accused the comptroller of making unwanted advances toward her and groping her back in 2001.
