During a hearing on online harassment, Cabán made this offer to Tajh Sutton, president of the Community Education Council for District 14. Sutton faced controversy for her involvement in organizing a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel student walkout. Cabán accused the New York Post of being a “rag” and praised Sutton’s testimony, offering support from her office.

Controversial Hearing and Accusations

The public hearing discussed online harassment targeting females and gender-expansive individuals. Sutton claimed to be a victim of doxing and online threats, attributing the harassment to reports in The Post. The newspaper revealed Sutton’s role in organizing the student walkout, where anti-Israel sentiments were expressed.

Support and Extra Testimony Time

Cabán expressed admiration for Sutton’s testimony and assured her availability, encouraging visits to the district office to vent about The New York Post. Cabán even extended Sutton’s testimony beyond the mandatory three-minute limit, granting an additional 90 seconds for her statements. The bonding between Cabán and Sutton raises questions amid controversies surrounding their respective roles.
