And he has a prior history of violent behavior, starting with punching a traffic agent in 2005, pushing an aide and breaking her glasses in 2006 and breaking the finger of a NY Post photographer in 2009.
ALBANY – A state senator pushing a bill that would require pistol-seekers to submit to a social-media search urged a Senate Republican aide to kill herself in a now-deleted Twitter post on Tuesday.
The verified Twitter account of Sen. Kevin Parker, D-Brooklyn, posted the violent demand Tuesday morning after the aide, Candice Giove, accused him of misusing a Senate-issue parking placard.
“Kill yourself!” Parker’s tweeted.
The tweet was originally posted at 11:25 a.m. It was deleted minutes later.
By 12:18 p.m., Parker tweeted an apology.
“I sincerely apologize,” Parker wrote. “I used a poor choice of words. Suicide is a serious thing and and should not be made light of.”
