Brooklyn State Sen. Martin Golden under fire after aide compares Dems, Parkland survivor to Nazis [View all]

Golden staffer Anthony Testaverde on Saturday shared Facebook posts that included one from the group The Common Sense Conservative with a picture of a Parkland survivor with his right arm extended placed next to a picture of Adolf Hitler in the same pose with the caption: “I knew something was off about this kid.”
