Congressman Michael Grimm, a New York Republican with 20 federal indictments against him, is now projected to win the 11th Congressional District.
Grimm, who allegedly paid employees under the table, hired illegal immigrants, and lied about it all under the oath, was expected to face a tough race against Democrat Domenic Recchia given the charges against him. Oh, and he also threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony on live television.
But the needle simply never moved. The leading Staten Island paper endorsed Grimm, saying that despite how embarrassing they found Grimm’s alleged crimes, his opponent’s “grasp of the issues is uncertain.”
