George Arzt, a spokesman for the Kings County Democratic Leader, told Azi Paybarah from capital newyork that Democratic party officials are looking at “both the Kings County and state Democratic Party rules” to see if Felder could be ousted from the party.
“If they do not have provisions, they will propose ways of expelling members for actions of this type,” Arzt said.
Already, Assemlbyman Nick Perry, also of Brooklyn, wrote on Twitter that Felder “should be removed from [the] Dem[ocratic] Party. Let the GOP have him.”
Wipe his own record clean and let him renew his ties in another party.
Oh dont look at his party affiliation, look at his record.
Politicians are all the same. Especially in NY, they are all chazerim.
He lied. He said and ran as a democrat.
I’m a Republican & I don’t blame the Dems. He uses all their resources & within a week of getting electing he’s switching allegiance (even if his motives seem to be good.) Not surprised they are furious! Typical indecisive, self serving politician. He should have run on the R ticket, but I suppose they didn’t want him to run against Storobin in a primary. Will this be a record for staying in a party?
He beat the democratic maschine at therer own game. The only way to get elected in a one party state (like the communist systems) is to run on there ticket. NY can be proud of there political system.
who cares he doesn’t need the. now. fisrt of all let him join the republicans. And he really doesn’t need any party. He is a shoe in in the frum community.
How about ousting the Manuvel Vito Lopez first ?
How do they ‘expel someone’ from their party? I have no idea what that even means (in NY), unless they mean canceling his voter registration as a member of the Democratic party, which they can’t. What are they going to do, not invite him to their meetings?
Oh! I thought the Dems were the Party of “reaching across the isle” willing to settle to get things done?
Kidding. Knew the Dems are animals.
