NY lieutenant governor resigns after arrest in federal probe
New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin has resigned in the wake of his arrest in a federal corruption investigation, creating a political crisis for Gov. Kathy Hochul seven months after she selected Benjamin as a partner to make a fresh start in an office already rocked by scandal.
Finally seeing a corrupt politician getting held accountable in NY.
@Scott Ireland I think you buy into this pro wrestling like scam. They both back corporations dude. One just has better PR
@Keith Acton what about sleepy Joe and son
@Ap Ap idk if you’re being sarcastic or not but they didn’t criminally charge him lol
@Cactus Coder Congrats on the TOP COMMENT OF THE DAY!!💥💯
I’m not shocked by the fact he did these things, but I am shocked they actually deciding to do something about it.
There’s a message. If u an AA in politics, keep ur nose clean more than anything….theyre watching ur every move. Good luck 👍
@Japhya3
One things I figured out, was these politician’s are killing with is left of this Country” as well family values” and, the innocents of the children” now, at a age that isn’t acceptable.
Saying politicians are corrupt is like saying water is wet.
@Random Lady I get wet when I play in water.
So does water get peopled when I’m in it.❓😂🤣😅
Technically water is hydrophilic
Hold them to the standard or it all fails.
We have all these “elected” officials that are so “trustworthy” and “above board”!! All of them are saints!! I cannot believe how lucky we are, to have these precious gems of people, that have our best interests in mind!!
@Yolie Remeza well now those type are in our school boards with rainbows on their shirts
Oh yes, true self-less beams of light, with nothing but a passion for helping every single member of the community thrive. They are driven by a sense of duty to a cause.
People vote because of identity not Merritt

I love to see the bad the ugly and the corrupt taken out of our government just now 99.9% more
Well they need to take all those whyt people out that lobby for corporations. None ever for the people
You made them rich with your tax dollars, while the majority of people can’t get a decent yearly salary.
@Ink de Lencquesaing and bann their kids from politics
better to take them out of the gene-pool.
Wow! Caught (another one) and actually prosecuting!! Salute!
Maybe he did not grease enough hands.
Look at the office of Governor for the state of New York over the past 20/25 years and you just can’t keep from laughing at all the scandal that has taken place
Same with illinois. Our past 3 governors have been to jail I believe 😂
a corrupt politician?!? No way! 😏
Absolutely shocking.
Evidence the system is broken. Power corrupts absolutely
@Master Shake How subtle. Gullibility would only be a solution if your aim is to have an empty pocketbook. As a New Yorker, gullibility isn’t a problem as we’ve considerable experience with hucksters and frauds over the years. Thomas Paine summed it up better than any when he said, “Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness.” While hardly an advocate of government, I believe he recognized its necessity as a counter to human vice, if nothing else. Expecting humans to found and maintain any government to a perfection that ensures no vice or inequality is folly. W
@William Swenson gullibility isn’t a solution, either.
Every system in the history of mankind since the dawn of civilization and for the foreseeable future has always been and will always be “broken” and “corrupt” in one way another. This is nothing new.
If you can’t beat them, join them, and learn to play the game. You only live once.
