Warren Chan What the Heck Were You Thinking?
I was disappointed to see the news about Warren Chan (article by Kadia Goba)
Although I don’t know Chan personally, I did speak with him online awhile back. He seemed like a man who was very interested in helping his community. I was sad to see that he was so rude on social media. Chan is best known for speaking up for the Asian community in this part of Brooklyn when others haven’t. He was adamant about looking at the tenant’s side of illegal home conversions as well. What was he thinking? Didn’t he realize that people respected him?
Of course Justin Brannan kicked Chan off of his transition team. That wouldn’t surprise anyone in Bay Ridge as Justin is on the brink of a very exciting year and doesn’t have time for racism and nonsense like that.
Chan should issue an apology to Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou. His comment was uncalled for, lewd and disrespectful.
This is not the first time that I have seen an member of the Asian community lash out at Assembly member Yuh-Line Niou. The other time was just as unwarranted and Niou has always been very professional in her response.
Assemblywoman Niou holds Shelly Silvers old seat in the NY Assembly.
