“They told me that I did not give up today, like a coward, they would take me away. They told me [Gov.] Kathy Hochul wanted my head to expose corruption and previously support Lee Zeldin. They told me that I can’t stand how powerful these people are and the lengths that would be hurt. I refused to give up and had no choice but to take away, “Bruderman told the post.
