New York State Democratic Party chair Jay Jacobs speaks to reporters during the New York State Democratic Committee State Convention, Tuesday, May 25, 2010, in Rye, N.Y. The chairman of the New York Democrats is facing calls to resign from members of his own party after he invoked the Ku Klux Klan and its former leader while explaining why he didn’t endorse a New York Democratic mayoral candidate. Jacobs apologized Monday, Oct. 18, 2021 for his comments about why he did not endorse India Walton, a Black woman and socialist community activist who is the Democratic nominee for Buffalo mayor.
