Republicans protest Nixon’s appearance at Bay Ridge Dems meeting
A Thursday, May 10 Bay Ridge Democrats meeting featuring gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon was met by opposition from local Republicans, the lot of them vocally standing with State Senator Marty Golden – who is currently being challenged by two Dems – as well as Nixon’s recent remarks on marijuana.
Nixon told Forbes magazine, “Now that cannabis is exploding as an industry, we have to make sure that those communities that have been harmed and devastated by marijuana arrests get the first shot at this industry.”
She went on to say, “We [must] prioritize them in terms of licenses. It’s a form of reparations.”
