If you take a look at Twitter today, or any day for that matter, you know how vicious politics can be. I usually brush it off, whether it’s death threats or calls for me to be deported. But it's different when it's about those you love.
It was a productive meeting focused on a place of shared admiration and love, which is New York City and the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers.

For me, it’s not about myself, it’s not about a relationship with an individual. It’s about a relationship between New York City and the White House.
