Harriet Cornell, a member of the Rockland County Legislature, said she was 'shocked' by Biaggi's statements. She added that she believes older women pack as much of a punch as young lawmakers.

Cornell, of West Nyack, said that she would vote for Maloney, and that she was surprised to see a Democrat saying 'something insulting for older women.'

'Women of all ages bring great experiences to their lives and to local government,' Cornell, an 89-year-old Democrat, said by phone Friday. 'I am proud of being my age.'

Assemblywoman Sandy Galef, 82, who is also a longtime supporter of Maloney, called Biaggi's tweets 'offensive.'

The Democrat added: 'I think she's out of touch with reality somewhat. She should have just apologized and just said it was inappropriate.'
