Our children’s grandparents escaped the Holocaust but many of their family members did not. The accusation that my family promotes anti-Semitism is deeply offensive.

However, Cuomo said he “didn’t know about the mailer. He had heard about the mailer, but hadn’t seen it.
“The way I ran this campaign, it’s been on the issues, it’s been positive,” Cuomo said. “I think the mailer was a mistake. I think it was inappropriate.”
Meanwhile, Geoff Berman, the executive director of the New York State Democratic Committee, apologized. He said the mailer was a “mistake and inappropriate.” He promised that “it will not happen again.” They will work with Nixon’s campaign to “send out a mailing of their choosing to the same universe of people who received the incorrect mailer.”
Let me be very clear: This mailer was a mistake and is inappropriate and is not the tone the Democratic Party should set — it will not happen again.

The state Party sent out a wrong and inappropriate mailer — we will work with the Nixon campaign to send out a mailing of their choosing to the same universe of people.
