Congressional candidate Ritchie Torres is demanding the resignation of the New York City police union president after he attacked the politician on social media last week. Torres, who is slated to become the first openly gay Afro-Latinx lawmaker in Congress after winning the Democratic primary in June, was targeted on Friday by the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) in a controversial tweet that has since been deleted. The SBA referred to Torres as a hypocrite and “first-class whore” in the tweet, according to Them. “Passes laws to defund police, supports criminals, & now because he’s running for office he blames the police to protect what he voted for,” the SBA tweeted. The association also tweeted a picture of Torres being arrested at a 2017 protest against the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
