Remember that anti-Hiram Monserrate flier I posted earlier, which features a photo of the former state senator being arrested and points to a web site that has video from the night he assaulted his girlfriend?
The flier doesn't say who paid for it, but I asked a spokesperson for Monserrate's campaign opponent, Jose Peralta, if Read More
Here's Jose Peralta's new television ad, which is already running on NY1.
It features footage of the surveillance tape showing Hiram Monserrate dragging his girlfriend out of an apartment building the night he said he accidentally broke a glass against her face. The objective is pretty clear.
Also: the narrator of the ad also sounds a Read More
