New York Democratic state senator ‘liked’ a series of obscene hardcore porn tweets

>

The Twitter account of a New York Democratic state senator from Queens was caught liking a series of hardcore porn tweets because her office blamed a rouge former staffer.

The account of Senator Toby Ann Stavisky, 83, who represents College Point and Whitestone, gave three likes to pornographic videos posted on Sept. 25 by a Twitter user with the handle @thejaslynn. New York Post reported.

The tweets, posted by the user with an OnlyFans account, reportedly involved oral sex, as well as a pornographic clip that read, “Do you think I can sing?”

The senator’s office said Stavisky, a grandmother, did not like the videos herself, as her Twitter account is operated by staff, with her office blaming a rouge former employee who kept the credentials on the account.

Pierce Brix, who runs the state senator’s Twitter account, said Stavisky’s credentials were changed after their office was notified of the issue.

“There’s some kind of felony,” Brix told the Post. “I don’t know what happened or who had access. It wasn’t the senator. It was not me.’

The state senator’s chief of staff, Mike Favilla, echoed comments that Stavisky was free of guilt.

“Obviously the senator had nothing to do with these likes,” Favilla told the Post. “Unfortunately, many former employees and current employees have access to this account, which is being fixed.”

Stavisky, who was first elected to office in 1999 and is seeking a 12th term, also chairs the Senate Committee on Higher Education.

She recently passed a new law to improve hate crime reporting on college campuses, requiring universities to post the statistic on their websites.

Stavisky’s Republican opponent for the 11th district, Stefano Forte, condemned the state senator’s poor social media management and urged residents to vote her out of office.

“The taxpayers and voters of State Senate District 11 have a right to know why Senator Stavisky likes hardcore pornography that demeans women — no less than an official government bill, and she does this in government time subsidized by our tax dollars. ,’ Forte said in a statement.

“My team and I have been knocking on doors and talking to voters, while Toby and her team spend time watching hardcore porn and releasing violent criminals. I think the right choice for this neighborhood is obvious.’

In 2016, Danny Randell (above), who was hired to attract Asian voters to Stavisky, posted anti-Asian rants online, saying they had to wear “name tags” to tell them apart

This isn’t the first time Stavisky’s office has been flagged for inappropriate behavior on social media.

In 2016, her field director, Danny Randell, was fired after the assistant was found to have posted racist diatribes against Asians.

Randell, was originally hired to help attract Asian voters to Queens, then a predominantly Asian borough, but was fired over comments he made on Facebook in November 2011.

He had posted: ‘Dear Asians, at least wear name tags or something. Sincerely, the rest of the world.’

And in 2013, he retweeted a message that read: ‘What do Asian people always laugh about. If your [sic] so funny why are there more asian comedians…’

Stavisky’s office had condemned the social media post, calling it divisive.
