Brooklyn – The State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division in Brooklyn ruled in favor of the state Independence Party’s effort to disband its county organizations in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.
The party is trying to cut ties with Lenora Fulani, a former leader who was accused of making anti-Semitic statements and has supporters in the three boroughs. “There is no room in our party for such outrageous racism,” Party Chairman said. “We are a party of inclusion and the only people that should be excluded are those who preach this kind of hate.”
Fulani couldn’t immediately be reached for comment, but last time she said the party was trying to become “all white, where blacks and other minorities are not just unwelcome, they are maligned and abused.”
