Jon Cooper says he saw “the first red flag” back in January, as he sat in his home in Glen Cove with his spouse, Rob, watching David Paterson introduce Kirsten Gillibrand as the state’s new junior U.S. senator.
“Rob said, ‘Isn’t that Al D’Amato standing next to Gillibrand?’”
For Mr. Cooper, the 54-year-old majority leader of the Suffolk County Legislature, that red flag was followed by others, as he learned of the conservative streak that ran through Ms. Gillibrand’s House record on some of the issues he holds most dear: gun control, immigration reform, gay rights. |
