The Democratic Party's dirty tricks against progressive candidate Cynthia Nixon

The New York Democratic Party sent out a mailer four days before the primary election which called Cynthia Nixon weak on Jewish issues and accused her of being silent on anti-Semitism.

The inflammatory political mailing went out days before Thursday's primary, in which Nixon has launched a challenge from the left against Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Nixon, who is the mother of Jewish children, demanded an apology and an explanation.

"To use this kind of unfounded charge as a political weapon and a smear campaign is unworthy of Andrew Cuomo's Democratic Party," Nixon said Sunday.

Cuomo denied knowledge of the mailer on Sunday, saying "it was inappropriate and it’s wrong and it’s not the tone that I approve of.”

The jury will disregard those comments.

Two of Nixon's [children] are being raised Jewish. She and her wife are members of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah.

The state party called the mailer "wrong and incomplete."

"We will work with the Nixon campaign to send out a mailing of their choosing to the same universe of people," said Geoff Berman, executive director of the state Democratic Committee.

Mayor Bill de Blasio condemned the mailer as "downright Trumpian." He said the party should immediately compensate the Nixon campaign.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
