I mean ignoring his general bigotry, endorsement of Trump, support for people who commit hate crimes against Muslims, the fact that he dressed up in blackface for a party, has said gay marriage will lead to "incest and beastality," his corruption (pretty sure he was actually indicted at one point), and his support for racial profiling, there's also the fact that hid evidence of over 1,000 cases of sexual abuse at orthodox Yeshivas in NYC.
Wow. That is shocking to say the least.
He must be the only Democrat in the country to have endorsed Trump.
Don't worry, we got Lieberman coming too.
Lieberman has endorsed Hillary Clinton, as befitting a neocon of his stripe.
Hikind's only a Democrat because (A) of the registration of his district, and (B) because of the permanent majority NY's Democrats enjoy in the NY State Assembly. Why they don't strip him of his seniority and committee assignments is beyond me, and they may do that next year.
There's no way Hikind could get the Democratic nomination for Mayor, absent a widely split Democratic Primary. He'd be the Jewish Mario Procaccino if he were the Democratic nominee. If he were a candidate of, say, New York's Independence Party and were well funded, he might win in a crowded field, but that's not likely, either. The real issue is how long the Democratic Party will put up with Hikind.
