Cuomo Campaign Is Trying To Get This Molinaro TV Ad Pulled, Report Says

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s re-election campaign has filed a cease-and-desist letter to television stations trying to have his Republican challenger's new ad pulled from the air, claiming it is “false, misleading and defamatory” because the news article cited does not say that Cuomo himself is being probed as part of the Crystal Run investigation.

Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, Cuomo's GOP opponent, unveiled the TV ad this past weekend slamming Cuomo of New Castle about corruption convictions involving some top state aides and advisers.

“It is false, cheap and nasty,” Cuomo campaign spokeswoman Abbey Collins told the Daily News in this article. “It is exactly what you would expect from Trump mini-me Marc Molinaro.”

The 30-second ad titled “Guilty” focuses on the recent convictions on federal corruption charges of former Cuomo top aide and South Salem resident Joseph Percoco and Alain Kaloyeros, who oversaw the governor’s Upstate economic development plan as reported here by Daily Voice, and the guilty plea of former Cuomo associate Todd Howe.
