Event was Cancelled. Great Job DA Scarpino!
| JOHN KHADER 129 FALMOUTH ROAD SCARSDALE, NY 10583 Source: NYS Board of Elections. One must wonder after the John Khader post on Facebook of a Gun. Why Dan Romano hasn't had to go to do a statement like DA Scarpino did. Dan Romano gave $2,500 expenditure to John Khader as a Consultant. Where is Mr. Dan Romano? Just asking the question? Yonkers Insider Newspaper. Statement from Barry Graubart on Facebook:
I was appalled to see this post on Facebook and Instagram today, threatening protesters with violence with what appears to be a short-barreled pistol-grip pump-action shotgun. These weapons are often referred to colloquially as a "zombie killer".
The photo was posted under the account "Johnny Limo", which belongs to John Khader, MPAC founder and owner of Top Class Limo in Yonkers.
I was further shocked to learn our Westchester District Attorney, Tony Scarpino is holding a political “cigar fundraiser” at the home of John Khader on June 10.
Gun violence may be a joke to John Khader, but to many of us in Westchester, it's a reality that has taken too many lives. And in the current environment, with people protesting for racial justice, with increasing domestic violence, and with a president stoking the fires of division and racial tension, gun violence is no laughing matter.
I call upon DA Scarpino to condemn this post, to return any money he has received from Mr. Khader and to immediately cancel the planned fundraiser or any other events with those who glorify gun violence.
Statement from DA Scarpino: I became aware of a disturbing Facebook post by one of my supporters tonight. Upon learning about this post, I immediately cancelled an upcoming event that this individual had planned in support of my campaign. In no uncertain terms, I condemn this post and the message it sends, particularly in this painful time. I stand strongly in support of those protesting against systemic racism and police brutality and commit the full force of my office to fight for positive change on behalf of people of color in Westchester. | 2,500.00 | CONSL | 16-MAY-20 | DAN ROMANO FOR YONKERS CITY JUDGE | 2020 32 Pre Primary | F | City Court Judge | 5 | Westchester |
