Giuliani Admits “Dirty Trick” To Suppress Hispanic Vote

The Guardian reports:

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani has admitted to a “dirty trick” that his campaign used to suppress the Hispanic vote during the city’s 1993 mayoral race.

Giuliani explained that he spent $2m to set up a so-called Voter Integrity Committee which was headed by Randy Levine, current president of the New York Yankees baseball team, and John Sweeney, a former New York Republican congressman.

“So they went through East Harlem, which is all Hispanic, and they gave out little cards, and the card said: ‘If you come to vote, make sure you have your green card because INS are picking up illegals.’ So they spread it all over the Hispanic …” said Giuliani, referring to the now defunct US Immigration and Naturalization Service before trailing off.

Read the full article. As you’ll see in the clip, Bannon and Lake reacted gleefully to Giuliani’s revelation.

Gloating about a “dirty trick” he pulled, Giuliani: “That’s the way we cut down on the Hispanic vote. This is what we don’t do –“

Lake: “Not the legals’ vote. The illegal vote.”
