Oh those tolerant liberals......
Brooklyn Assemblywoman Diana Richardson, who was accused of blaming Jews for gentrification at a community board meeting this week, also went ballistic last week at a Democratic caucus in Albany, sources said.
Assembly Democrats who witnessed Richardson’s outburst at Speaker Carl Heastie over funding one of her pet projects said they were stunned and outraged, calling it the most abusive and rude behavior they ever encountered at a caucus meeting.
“She had a meltdown. She was really out of control,” said one Assembly veteran.
“Everyone in the room was appalled at her behavior. She basically accused the speaker and his staff of lying to her. It was a personal attack. I’ve never seen anything like that in conference.”
Another Assembly Democratic insider who witnessed Richardson’s rant called it “the most abusive behavior in memory.”
Sources said three Assembly members — Inez Dinkins of Harlem and Erik Dilan Jr. and Walter Mosley of Brooklyn — went over to Richardson to calm her down.
“She was nasty and disrespectful. It was kind of kooky. It was like a three-year-old having a tantrum. She certainly diminished herself in the eyes of her colleagues,” one witness said.
