Adams vs AOC: Democratic civil war rages in Brooklyn Assembly fightBy Carl Campanile
June 20, 2022
The proxy war between Mayor Eric Adams and lefty socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over control of New York’s Democratic Party turned to Brooklyn’s 60th state Assembly District Monday.
In the latest iteration of Democratic Party infighting, Adams conducted a “walking tour” with Democratic incumbent Assemblywoman Nikki Lucas on the third day of early voting for the June 28 primary in the district that includes East New York, Brownsville and Canarsie.
Lucas is facing off against lefty Keron Alleyne, who is backed by AOC, the Democratic Socialists of America, the Working Families Party and assemblyman-turned-councilman Charles Barron.
Lucas defeated Alleyne in a special election in February for the seat that Barron vacated.
“We got your back Keron Alleyne,” AOC recently tweeted.
