If John Liu is Against the IDC, Why Did He Endorse a IDC Supported Candidate in Brooklyn?
Do you remember the name John Liu? Yup, John Liu’s the former NYC Comptroller who was fined $26,000 for donation fraud during his failed run for mayor. John Liu’s two campaign staffers went to jail. (See here and here)
While Liu was Comptroller, there was this snafu with Liu’s staffer and the senior citizen lunch program. There’s so little about this online, but there is this.
Now John Liu is running for a senate seat in Queens. He’s in an election against Tony Avella, whose a member of the IDC. (Story here)
Yet, John Liu endorsed a candidate in our Ethan Lustig-Elgrably who has been supported by thousands of dollars from Senator Diane Savino of the IDC. Ethan is running for the NYS Assembly seat. See the money flow here.
John Liu didn’t think anyone would notice that his endorsement or that he’s playing politics in our backyard.
John Liu hangs out at the Shorefront Democratic Club as does Senator Diane Savino from the IDC. Diane Savino has been dating Jeff Klein, the head of the IDC for years. If you are from Liu’s campaign, you know this type of endorsement was John Liu playing politics in our backyard.
