Just in time for the holidays, someone has made available “I’m with Sheldon Silver” t-shirts at online store teespring.com. If you want one, you’ll need to act fast — merchandise is available to order only through Thursday.
The product page has a brief but accurate bio of the former pol: “Sheldon “Shelly” Silver is a former lawyer and Democratic Party politician from New York City, who rose to become the powerful Speaker of the New York State Assembly in 1994 until his arrest on federal corruption charges in 2015.”
Silver’s conviction on those charges was overturned this summer.
His old Assembly seat is now held by Yuh-Line Niou, who faces re-election in 2018. Is Silver planning a comeback with an army of supporters wearing these snappy tees?
