New York Lt. Governor Brian Benjamin has resigned after being arrested earlier Tuesday in a campaign finance scheme from earlier campaigns unrelated to Governor Hochul.
“I have accepted Brian Benjamin’s resignation effective immediately,” Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement.
“While the legal process plays out, it is clear to both of us that he cannot continue to serve as Lieutenant Governor,” she added. “New Yorkers deserve absolute confidence in their government, and I will continue working every day to deliver for them.”

This from an UNELECTED privileged white Karen, who was an accomplice to Cuomo. Hochul should resign in disgrace. There has to be a punishment for hiring affermative action thugs.
That’s because he’s a Democrat.
Well, at least he had enough shame to resign after his arrest. I have no opinion on his innocense or guilt.
