“When I announced yesterday that I’m running for gov, one of Cuomo’s top surrogates dismissed me as an “unqualified lesbian.” It’s true that I never received my certificate from the Department of Lesbian Affairs, though in my defense there’s a lot of paperwork required.” 🤷♀️

Your disgusting defense of your incredibly harmful stop and frisk policy was from 2015 - long after you left office.
And in late 2018 you were still singing its praises.
This unexamined, unapologetic racism disqualifies you to run for President.
I have apologized for taking too long to understand the impact of stop and frisk on Black and Latino communities.
I inherited stop and frisk. In an effort to stop gun violence, it was overused. I cut it back by 95%.
