There is always room for strong disagreement, but it should be clear that violence is not the answer. While we may have different opinions, we all have the same goal of working to make our country better. That includes condemning senseless violence against any individual. (2/2)
These were lessons from the fabled “Gang of Four” I took to heart and tried to adhere to throughout my own career in public service. Congressman Rangel’s family are in our thoughts and prayers today. We are all better for his service and I am better for having had his friendship.
We lost one of the greats today. Charlie Rangel’s commitment to public service was legendary. I grew up listening to him, my father, Percy Sutton and David Dinkins establish plans and follow them through to completion to enrich Harlem and our great state.
“She was truly a force to be reckoned with, breaking barriers for people of color and for women over these past decades. I can tell you she had as much strength and determination the day she left us as she did the day I met her. We are truly going to miss her.”
“Hazel Dukes was family to us. I’ve known her essentially my entire life and was fortunate to be able to call upon her wisdom and her guidance throughout the entirety of my career . . .”

Got a chance to check out #SNL50 special and noticed my friend #FredArmisen’s impression of me made the cut. If he said bad things about NJ then I wonder what he would have said if we had congestion pricing at the time! Congrats to a true NY institution, @nbcsnl on 50 years!
President Biden has long served our country w distinction and his most recent work in the Oval will have him go down in history books as one of our most successful Presidents. I wish him good fortune and great health and would like to thank him for his selfless sacrifice today.
My thoughts and well wishes are with Donald Trump and every person and family impacted by today’s events. Violence in our politics has been spreading and today’s events are further proof that things have gone well too far. (1/2)
Looking forward to it!

A responsible media outlet called to fact check @RobertKennedyJr claim I once offered him NY’s open US Senate seat. For the record, no matter how many times he says it, that’s simply never going to be a true statement. I never spoke w him during that period. For anything.
Edwards/@NYGovPaterson55: It is a clear and open act of discrimination against one of your most distinguished alumni and the regional leader of the NAACP New York State Conference, an organization that fights for the equality and inclusion of all people. casino.org/news/paterson-…
