A reader who is a registered Republican and resident of Manhattan called in to report she received a robocall yesterday afternoon from Rudy Giuliani on behalf of GOP congressional candidate Jim Tedisco.
The reader said she found it "a little weird" to hear the former mayor pitching the Assembly minority leader since he's running for the 20th Congressional District seat formerly held by now-Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand - a district nowhere near Manhattan.
The script from the call appears before. You'll note that Giuliani makes no mention of "voting" for Tedisco, but rather speaks of "support" (in other words, this is a dialing-for-dollars call). The phone number provided rings to the "Jim Tedisco-NRCC Victory fund" - a joint fundraising committee.
Precious.
