    Is it normal for a senator to endorse a mayoral candidate? Because from what I’ve seen, it’s not.

    It’s like saying that the governor didn’t endorse a local dog-catcher.

      But apparently it’s normal for NYC mayors to travel overseas to kiss a shitty wall in a genocidal foreign country and deviating from that is some grave offense to America. It’s apparently normal for a senator to openly represent that same foreign country instead of his own (at least when he’s not advocating for his two invisible right-wing American constituents in his head. I guess that’s normal too).

      But a senator endorsing the most important mayor position in the country? How strange and weird.

      Is it normal for the head of a political party to endorse his own party’s candidate for mayor of arguably the most important city in the country? Yes.

      Is it normal for the head of a political party to repeatedly evade answering who he supports in that mayoral race? No.
