Sheila Astorino: Cuomo's Dishonest Attack Ads are Unforgivable

 

 

Script: 

 

I'm not political.

 

I'm a school teacher.

 

But I'm also Rob Astorino's wife.

 

And I have to speak out about the ugly and dishonest ads Governor Cuomo's been running.

 

Governor, you've got to be kidding me.

 

All summer and autumn long my children have had to watch you throw mud at their father.

 

We stopped watching TV for awhile, but then you started sending nasty mail.

 

The racial stuff, the soup ad.  We've seen it all. Do you really like trying to scare seniors?  

 

But now you've really gone too far for this mom and school teacher.

 

Telling people my husband wants guns in classrooms?

 

Guns in classrooms...You can't be serious.

 

You used an extracurricular rifle safety program in a rural Upstate county to make it sound like Rob would threaten the safety of school children?  

 

How dare you.

 

How dare you try to scare parents and teachers with something as serious as that.

 

Your own consultant said you would 'do anything or say anything -- including lie -- to win an election.'

 

But I had no idea.  

 

What you are doing is unforgivable.
