Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz called to dispute City Councilwoman Maria Baez’s account of what happened last night at a meeting of the Bronx County Democratic Party.

Baez, who supports Jose Rivera, told me she saw Dinowitz "fighting" with some attendees.

As Dinowitz tells it, he walked into a conflict that had already started between supporters loyal to Rivera—who Dinowitz says were trying to remove sign-in sheets recording who was eligible to vote—and supporters of Assemblyman Carl Heastie, who’s trying to unseat Rivera. (And may have succeeded, depending on what the court says.)

Then the usually mild-mannered Dinowitz took a (figurative!) shot at his accuser.

“I’m amazed, considering her attendance record, that you found her at City Hall,” Dinowitz said.

Baez recently faced criticism for have the worst attendance record in the City Council.
