Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani showed up to support his son Andrew’s gubernatorial bid Tuesday, signing a petition for him at the New York Republican Party’s convention on Long Island and made the case for his son, a long shot candidate, not backed by the NY GOP, explaining to reporters why Andrew Giuliani is the right candidate to beat the current governor and took a jab at the Republican party of NY as well in an interesting interview with local reporters, including TJV News.
“If Andrew weren’t running, I’d be looking for a candidate from outside politics to beat [Hochul]. I don’t think a professional politician can beat her. And I think what they’re doing with this dictated convention is very damaging, very damaging to the party nationally as well,” said Giuliani.
‘Well, we’re trying to be … the elite. They’re the ones who dictate. And so what they’ve been doing for a year and a half is dictating.”
TJV News tweeted from the GOP convention today, here is what former Mayor Giuliani had to say.
