Do y'all in New York have a politician who isn't as corrupt and/or crazy as Emperor Nero??

Authorities arrested New York Democratic Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin on Tuesday morning on campaign finance-related federal charges, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News 4.

According to ABC News 7, Benjamin surrendered himself to authorities Tuesday morning. The charges are reportedly in connection with a past campaign.

"The lieutenant governor, who had been considered a rising political star after he was chosen by Gov. Hochul, faces bribery and other charges," ABC News 7 added.

He is expected to appear in federal court in Manhattan sometime on Tuesday.

First Cuomo, now this. All that's left is Hochul. Wonderful, crowd-favorite Hochul.

Lt. Gov. Benjamin was arrested over allegations that he purposely participated in a campaign finance fraud scheme, where prosecutors argue he passed out state money as part of the operation. He was subpoenaed regarding the scheme last year when he was a state senator, and didn't notify Hochul of the subpoena when she picked him to be her new lieutenant governor. Awkward!

Regardless, white liberal Hochul can't be seen throwing her black compatriot aside in this day and age of #PROGRESS, so she's gonna let him sink the ship this coming November.

Last week, Hochul also told reporters that she supports her second-in-command despite the subpoena. Prior to his arrest, New York's governor insisted he would stay on the ballot for this year's gubernatorial election.

"I have utmost confidence in my lieutenant governor," Hochul told the media. "He is my running mate."

Good luck! Guessing by New York's high tolerance of total corruption, they might actually win!
