Lawmaker alleges local candidates endorse radical platforms including 'no jails, no cops, no borders'
Summary
The lawmaker said a "radical group" won a Democratic primary in New York City and asserted some candidates favor policies she described as extreme — "no jails, no cops, no borders" — and claimed a named individual served as a character witness in a past terrorism case. She linked those positions to threats to private property rights.
During her remarks the lawmaker criticized recent primary winners in New York City as advancing what she described as extreme positions, saying, "Some of these candidates support no jails, no cops, no borders. They even wanna defund, the military." She used those phrases to argue that certain platforms aim to concentrate power and undermine private property.
She also referenced an individual named in the transcript as "Adam Ham Hamaway," saying that person was a character witness for a convicted conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The lawmaker presented these examples as part of a broader argument tying local policy proposals to international authoritarian tactics; the transcript offers no independent verification of associations or outcomes.
