The back-and-forth in the tight race between indicted Congressman Michael Grimm and his rival Domenic Recchia over foreign policy credentials continued last night with Mr. Recchia calling the sitting congressman’s behavior “embarrassing.”
“Michael Grimm should be the last one to critique anyone or make a comment about anyone’s foreign policy issues,” Mr. Recchia, a Democrat, said last night on NY1.
After Mr. Recchia, a former councilman from Brooklyn, was unable to answer questions from reporters last week on international trade issues, Mr. Grimm — a Republican who served in the first Gulf War as a U.S. Marine — slammed him as unqualified to hold the seat and take votes on key issues like whether launch air strikes in Syria.

“His foreign policy stance is going to Israel and embarrassing this country, going skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee, and taking trips paid for by millionaires who are under indictment, accepting money from national, foreign nationals, and that’s why he has an ethic investigation. And last but not least, when Obama, first he was supporting when Obama wanted to go into Syria with air strikes and then when he changed his position, he went against the president, and then he sends out a fundraising letter to fundraise off of it,” Mr. Recchia said.

Grimm has personally assured me he is against any kind of amnesty. He realizes that since Bone-head throw him overboard he owes him nothing. On Staten Island being strongly against amnesty can only gain him votes. It is better to support a guy who says he is against amnesty than a guy who is proudly for amnesty. The charges against Grimm have no effect on my decision. I will support him.
He’s in a desperate position as well.
I’d take a desperate incumbent often against other choices.

“Although it is heartbreaking what these children crossing the border are experiencing, if the city has the ability to house people in need, then it should be used for the record amount of homeless veterans and displaced Sandy victims before anyone else,” said Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn).
