Vereinigte Staaten: Curtis Sliwa Presser on Andrew Cuomos sexual harassment allegations
New York, NY (77WABC)- Well, well, well- this is is an unlikely duo!
NYC GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa has proposed to team up with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-NY), to clean up a part of East Tremont Avenue which lies in the Bronx portion of her Congressional district. Sliwa sent AOC a letter last week, proposing the joint cleanup.
“To bring greater awareness to environmental protectionism and to promote more city-wide public service, I hope you can join me in picking up trash and removing garbage from this polluted location site in the Bronx,” Sliwa wrote in the letter, the NY post obtained.
“While we are a politically unlikely duo, this bipartisan invitation reflects the important message that all New Yorkers can come together to improve our City through public service — regardless of political affiliation. Everyone can — and should — play a role in protecting and cleaning up our environment,” he also stated.
AOC has not yet responded to the letter; the clean-up would take place August 21st.
