Irondequoit Supervisor Andrae Evans fails to qualify for Democratic primary ballot
Officials with the Monroe County Board of Elections said that Evans fell short of the necessary petition signatures after a challenge. Evans had planned to seek the Democratic line for supervisor in what would be his second term if re-elected.
Town Board member John Perticone is running for supervisor and has the backing of the town's Democratic committee.
In a report from an investigative law firm, Evans was accused of making improper comments, laden with sexual innuendo, to a staff member as well as in more public settings with town employees. He also is accused of retaliation against town employees.
Evans has been censured by the town board and ordered to work remotely. He is challenging the town board actions in court. He has refused requests to resign.
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley is also seeking Evans' removal from office in a process that would require actions by appellate judges from the state Supreme Court.
The Democrat and Chronicle reached out to Evans via email Friday.

What Trump's ‘Good English' Remark Really Reflects
Donald Trump has yet to visit Africa as President. But he's certainly left an impression. In his first term, Trump angered the continent's leaders and public when he reportedly referred to Haiti and African nations as 'sh-thole countries.' Amid blowback, Trump denied using the specific phrase, while Democratic Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, who was present in the closed-door meeting where the remark was supposedly uttered, told media at the time that Trump made 'hate-filled, vile and racist' comments 'and he said them repeatedly.' In his second term so far, Trump has been criticized for championing false claims of 'white genocide' in South Africa, granting refugee privileges to white Afrikaners while implementing new travel restrictions that inexplicably seem to target several majority-Black African nations. He's also gutted humanitarian assistance to the continent. Africa was one of the biggest recipients of support from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and millions of Africans are expected to die as a result of the agency's dismantling. To many, these moves seemed reflective of Trump's apparent disregard for the continent. But Africa, in the words of a Brookings Institution research paper from January, 'is increasingly recognized as the next frontier for global economic growth. Its potential is vast, characterized by diverse natural resources, a burgeoning youth population, and untapped innovation.' And in recent years it's also become a battleground for global influence in the U.S.-China geopolitical rivalry—a battleground on which analysts say China appears to be winning through consistent development investment, security engagement, and media charm. 'Chinese success in Africa is perhaps partly due to the failure of US foreign policy, which ranges from outright disrespect to moralistic treatment,' wrote Chinese political scientist Wenfang Tang in the South China Morning Post in 2024, compared to 'the Chinese approach of treating Africans as comrades and business partners.' In an effort to combat China's growing influence and set the U.S.-Africa relationship on a stronger footing, Trump invited his counterparts from Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal to the White House on Wednesday to discuss commercial opportunities as part of a diplomatic pivot he characterized as 'from aid to trade.' 'We treat Africa far better than China or anybody else,' Trump asserted during the meeting. As many of the African leaders expressed gratitude for the invite, Trump appeared surprised when Liberia's President Joseph Boakai spoke. 'We want to work with the United States in peace and security within the region because we are committed to that and we just want to thank you so much for this opportunity,' Boakai said. In turn, Trump responded: 'Thank you. And such good English. Such beautiful. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Where were you educated? Where?' When Boakai answered that he learned the language in Liberia, Trump responded: 'That's very interesting. Beautiful English! I have people at this table who can't speak nearly as well.' The comment immediately drew blowback from outside observers. An unnamed Liberian diplomat told CNN that he found it 'a bit condescending.' U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D, Texas) said it was 'peak ignorance' in a post on X. 'Trump never misses an opportunity to be racist and wrong, and every day he finds a new way to be embarrassing,' Crockett wrote. 'I'm pretty sure being blatantly offensive is not how you go about conducting diplomacy.' English is the official language of Liberia, a country of 5 million people on Africa's western coast that was founded in 1822 by the American Colonization Society (ACS), which aimed to resettle freed slaves, and declared independence in 1847. In a statement, the White House downplayed the remark deemed offensive by some as a 'heartfelt compliment.' While Trump has repeatedly shown a preference for English, signing an executive order in March to make it the official language of the U.S., it's not the first time Trump has commented on how it's spoken. 'What a beautiful accent,' he told British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in February. In mid-February, he bypassed an Indian reporter's question after remarking, 'I can't understand a word he's saying. It's the accent. It's a little bit tough for me to hear that.' 'It's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent,' he told an Afghan reporter earlier the same month, twice again using what seems to be his favorite adjective. 'The only problem is I can't understand a word you're saying.' And just last month, Trump told German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, 'you speak such good English … very good, very good.' Linguistics researchers have said that Trump's attitudes—and everyone's, really—toward accents tend to reflect the listener's biases about the speaker more than any objective qualities to the speech. 'It's pretty much universal,' sociophonetician Nicole Holliday told the Washington Post in 2016. 'You can go anywhere in the world and ask who speaks the 'bad' version of the language — and invariably, it's the people who are marginalized, who are rural, poor, or belong to religious minorities.' 'The attitude we have about foreign accents is affected by our social knowledge of a person, their accent and where they come from,' Nicole Rosen, a language interactions professor at the University of Manitoba, wrote in The Conversation earlier this year, suggesting that dynamic may have been reflected in Trump's praise of European leaders' English in contrast to his dismissal of South Asian and Middle Eastern journalists' English. Rosen also noted that studies show that people 'tend to rate their own dialects as very pleasant.' It may be for that reason that Trump reacted positively to hearing Boakai speak—and why Boakai himself seemed unbothered by Trump's reaction. 'We know that English has different accents and forms, and so him picking up the distinct intonation that has its roots in American English for us was just recognizing a familiar English version,' Liberia's Foreign Minister Sara Beysolow Nyanti told CNN. 'What President Trump heard distinctly was the American influence on our English in Liberia, and the Liberian President is not offended by that.'

Crockett said she ‘broke down in tears' watching Alex Padilla get forcibly removed from press conference
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said in a new podcast interview that she 'broke down in tears' seeing California Sen. Alex Padilla's forcible removal from a Department of Homeland Security press conference in June. The Democratic firebrand was a guest on comedian Hasan Minhaj's podcast posted Wednesday, where she reacted to the viral incident. 'I had no warning whatsoever. And so I see they're playing a loop of what happened to Senator Padilla. And I literally just broke down in tears and started crying,' Crockett said as she recounted seeing the video playing on television at the time. 'It's hard for me to imagine, even just looking at Sen. Padilla. This is the first Latino senator that the state of California has ever had,' she continued. 'He's the senior senator in the state… and then there's no respect. Not a modicum of respect for him, nor his position nor his humanity.' She clarified that she didn't think anyone should have 'ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] take you down to the ground' because 'you have the audacity' to exercise free speech. 'It tells you how sinister this administration is,' Crockett continued. 3 While appearing on Hasan Minhaj's podcast, Rep. Jasmine Crockett said she 'broke down in tears' after watching the video of Sen. Alex Padilla being forcibly removed out of a press conference last month. Youtube / Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know During a DHS press conference with Kristi Noem in Los Angeles on June 12, Padilla entered the room and interrupted the Homeland Security Secretary as she was giving prepared remarks. Videos of the incident showed that he did not immediately identify himself, and was quickly swarmed by Secret Service and FBI agents, who bellowed 'hands up.' 'I'm Sen. Alex Padilla,' he said amid the scuffle. 3 Crockett told comedian Hasan Minhaj that no one should have 'ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] take you down to the ground.' via REUTERS 'I have questions for the secretary.' He was taken from the room and brought to the floor where he was briefly handcuffed while the press conference continued. Though Noem met with the senator afterward, video of officers bringing Padilla to the ground quickly spread and triggered a media firestorm. 3 Crockett also criticized the Trump administration for how Padilla was forcibly removed from the press conference. AP Republicans accused the senator of making a 'spectacle' of himself, while over 200 Democrats from both chambers condemned the 'unprecedented incident.' The tense situation occurred as riots raged in Los Angeles in response to ICE raids. The violent protests and unrest triggered President Donald Trump to mobilize the National Guard in response and for curfews to be enacted in the city. Fox News' Alex Miller contributed to this report.

Appeals court overturns right-wing influencer's conviction for spreading 2016 election falsehoods
NEW YORK -- A federal appeals court on Wednesday overturned a self-styled right-wing propagandist's conviction for spreading falsehoods on social media in an effort to suppress Democratic turnout in the 2016 presidential election. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ordered a lower court to enter a judgment of acquittal for Douglass Mackey, finding that trial evidence failed to prove the government's claim that the Florida man conspired with others to influence the election. Mackey, 36, was convicted in March 2023 in federal court in Brooklyn on a charge of conspiracy against rights after posting false memes that said supporters of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton could vote for her by text message or social media post. He was sentenced to seven months in federal prison. 'HALLELUJAH!' Mackey wrote on X after the 2nd Circuit's decision was posted Wednesday. In follow up messages, he thanked God, his family, wife, lawyers and supporters, and threatened legal action over his conviction. One of Mackey's lawyers on his appeal was Yaakov Roth, who is now principal deputy assistant U.S. attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's Civil Division. The federal prosecutors' office in Brooklyn that brought the case declined to comment. In charging Mackey, prosecutors alleged that he conspired with others between September and November of 2016 to post memes, such as a photo of a woman standing in front of an 'African Americans for Hillary' sign. 'Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,' the tweet said. 'Text 'Hillary' to 59925.' About 5,000 people followed the meme's instructions, according to trial testimony. Nearly all of them received an automated response indicating that the social media posts were not associated with the Clinton campaign, and there was 'no evidence at trial that Mackey's tweets tricked anyone into failing properly to vote,' the 2nd Circuit found. Mackey, who had 58,000 followers at the time, posted under the alias Ricky Vaughn, the name of Charlie Sheen's character in the movie 'Major League.' In overturning Mackey's conviction, a three-judge 2nd Circuit panel wrote, 'the mere fact" that he "posted the memes, even assuming that he did so with the intent to injure other citizens in the exercise of their right to vote, is not enough, standing alone, to prove a violation' of the conspiracy law. 'The government was obligated to show that Mackey knowingly entered into an agreement with other people to pursue that objective,' Chief Judge Debra Ann Livingston and Judges Reena Raggi and Beth Robinson wrote. 'This the government failed to do.' Livingston and Raggi were appointed by President George W. Bush, a Republican. Robinson was appointed by President Joe Biden, a Democrat. At Mackey's sentencing, the trial judge, Ann M. Donnelly, said that he had been 'one of the leading members' of a conspiracy that was 'nothing short of an assault on our democracy.' The 2nd Circuit disagreed, ruling that the prosecution's primary evidence of a conspiracy was flimsy at best. At Mackey's trial, prosecutors showed messages exchanged in private Twitter groups that they said proved an intent to interfere with people exercising their right to vote. However, the three-judge panel ruled that prosecutors 'failed to offer sufficient evidence that Mackey even viewed — let alone participated in — any of these exchanges.' 'In the absence of such evidence, the government's remaining circumstantial evidence cannot alone establish Mackey's knowing agreement,' the judges wrote.
