STATEMENT FROM ASSEMBLY REPUBLICAN LEADER WILL BARCLAY ON LT. GOV. BRIAN BENJAMIN’S ARREST

“The news regarding the arrest of Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin is very disappointing for the people of New York state. Albany has a persistent and pervasive corruption problem and today’s federal indictment is a disturbing indication that problem is still a major obstacle hampering the People’s Business. He must resign immediately.

The people of New York have seen enough of this. Multiple investigations, arrests and repeated scandals eventually drove Andrew Cuomo out of office in disgrace. Today we see that not much has changed with a new administration. While the legal process plays out, we must endeavor to move past this distraction and get back to doing the important work of our state government.”

  1. Headline from a local news source: “Rep. John Katko outlines the consequences of political polarization, urges bipartisanship and moderation”. BARCLAY GO HOME! HE’S A HS FRESHMAN WITH A SENIOR’S MICROPHONE.

  2. I went to Barclay’s Town Hall meeting in Hastings and asked him to tone it down. His response: “Oh, you don’t think the other side would be doing the same thing?”
    You know what? They aren’t.

  3. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Only those who are faultless, like Will, have the right to pass judgment upon others. His word is beyond reproach.
