“I just googled him and it says he is an R... Party: Republican Party”
Not so fast.
“He was arrested in 2013 alongside then-state Senator Malcolm Smith after being accused of pocketing $20,500 in bribes as part of a scheme to get Smith, a Democrat, on the ballot for mayor as a Republican.”
He is “Republican” as a technicality. He’s a Democrat posing as a Republican. In other words, he’s the worst kind of Democrat: a RINO.
