Michael Gianaris: Rob Astorino "Very Right Wing Wolf Masquerading In Moderate Sheep's Clothing'

BY KEN LOVETT with reporting from Glen Blain.


Hoping to define Republican Rob Astorino before he can do himself, Senate Deputy Democratic Leader Michael Gianaris today tore into the Westchester County executive who declared a run for governor as a 'wolf masquerading in moderate sheep's clothing."

"This is something who is against a woman’s right to choose, wants to roll back protections for lesbian and gay New Yorkers, wants to roll back some of the important achievements in public safety, such as the SAFE Act," Gianaris (D-Queens) told reporters following Thursday's Senate session.

“And it’s something that those who are supporting him and intend to run with him have to answer for."

"So for the Senate Republicans I would say the important question is do they agree with their candidate? Do they agree with Rob Astorino that they want to roll back the protections we have enacted in New York , that we have worked so hard for?”
