Staten Island Advance ^ | November 29, 2016 | Rachel Shapiro

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- If billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis runs for mayor again, he has the wholehearted support of former Congressman Vito Fossella, who spoke about the Greek-American self-made man on Joe Piscopo's radio show on AM970 Tuesday morning.

Asked whether he'd support Catsimatidis, who hosts the station's "Cats Roundtable" on Sunday mornings, Fossella said, "In a heartbeat. John is an American success story. He loves this country and never forgot where he came from. Works like I've never seen anybody work before and truly loves people, loves this city, loves this country and deserves to be elected to whatever office he seeks. So I will do whatever I can to help John Catsimatidis run, if that's what he wants to do."

Vito Fossella's got an interesting family, too.

Actually, his family seems normal but he apparently has two of them. :-P

Cats is popular in the blue collar enclaves of NYC (Staten Island, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Bayside, Queens, Jamaica Estates, Queens).

De Blasio is a favorite to win reelection because NYC is a liberal, uber-leftist city, but we’ll see.

Fossella has a show on Newsmax I believe...he may run for office again. Probably not Congressman, that is Dan Donovan’s job right now, but maybe Mayor of NYC or Senator or DA of Staten Island one day.

Well, Cats may have a shot. I remember when I was convinced Dinkins would win reelection and he didn’t.

Just look at the Hillary vote in NY and you will see the same pattern, liberal self hating Jews, the elitist rich, the immigrants legal and illegal, stupid college snowflakes, gays, the uninformed, the dumb, the stupid and the I dont care crowd

Hate to say it but she looks sleazy to me. Most Greek fathers would have a fit if their daughter were to go out dressed with their chest hanging out.

I am not a prude but it does look slutty.

DeDumDum is an absolute DISGRACE to the office of mayor. Allowing cell phones in schools (absolutely FORGET any learning going on--students too busy watching movies, texting, sending their tests' photographs across the room to friends, recording or photographing the teacher clandestinely, etc.), virtually forbidding the police to arrest blacks, handing the city over to his real estate masters, declaring NYC a sanctuary city (defying federal laws) and thereby dooming us to being inundated by illegal scum collecting every benefit and committing crimes, etc. Now he has declared that NYC will protest against Trump's election. Who the HELL is this thug and criminal loving piece of leftist trash to speak for an entire city? He is a lowlife piece of gutter trash who belongs, not in Gracie Mansion, but right there in the gutter with the spent needles and used condoms with what he has declared his homies.

According to NBC.com, "...Mayor de Blasio, the Rev. Al Sharpton and celebrities including Mark Ruffalo, Michael Moore and Rosie Perez are planning to rally New Yorkers to stand up to President-elect Donald Trump on the eve of his inauguration, organizers said Saturday..."

Notice his co-demonstrators? The absolute trash of the leftist world. He has debased the office of the mayor of NYC. I certainly hope that a decent person runs for the office in the upcoming election. I just read that John Catsimatidis, the self-made billionaire grocer who is a CEO, radio talk show host, and an immigrant, is thinking of running for mayor again. I certainly would support his candidacy over that of an avowed Communist, a dumba@@ who is led around by Al Sharpton and who kisses the behind of every real estate biggie who donated to his campaign. He is wholly owned, lock, stock, and barrel by those real estate biggies, who would see every single blade of green grass developed here.

He’s kind of a RINO. I supported him at the start but changed my mind after I saw some interviews.
