Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin’s campaign hesitated to immediately condemn two of his supporters brandishing signs inscribed with sexist slurs directed at Governor Kathy Hochul at a Bronx get-out-the-vote rally for the Democratic incumbent Saturday.
At the rally, hosted by Bronx Democratic Party leaders like state Senator Jamal Bailey, Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz and his son City Council Member Eric Dinowitz, a group of Zeldin supporters repeatedly attempted to interrupt the proceedings by shouting over the speakers with a megaphone, according to Bronx district leader John Doyle and video shared with amNewYork Metro.
