played the Working Families Party for fools.
From the New York Observer:
The labor-backed Working Families Party withstood what many have characterized as an attempt from its own candidate, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, to destroy it–but in the process got elbowed out of its row on the ballot by an insurgent Green Party led by gubernatorial contender Howie Hawkins. . .
After securing the party’s backing, however, Mr. Cuomo not only failed to actively campaign for any Democratic State Senate candidates but worked with former Council Speaker Christine Quinn to create a new Women’s Equality Party. Ostensibly intended to promote the anti-discrimination, pro-choice Women’s Equality Agenda, many, including executives at the WFP, viewed the new ballot line as a ploy to siphon vital votes from the WFP.
Never trust someone who shows you, time and time again, who they are and what they stand for.
