Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren Endorse Cabn For Queens DA

Patch

QUEENS, NY — Presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren endorsed public defender Tiffany Cabán for Queens district attorney on Wednesday.

A Sanders fundraising email calls Cabán the "candidate who is taking on virtually the entire political establishment," according to NY1, which broke the news of the endorsement.

"Tiffany has put together the kind of grassroots efforts in takes to win," reads the email from the Vermont senator.

News of Sanders' endorsement broke just minutes after Warren expressed her support for Cabán on social media.

Now WHY would the two most left-oriented Presidential candidates make endorsements for an obscure DA race...in Queens?
