Here's what the NY Daily News had to say:
"A campaign volunteer for Brooklyn state Senate wannabe Vito Bruno has quoted Hitler and Mussolini and posted numerous anti-Semitic messages on his Twitter account.... 'Hitler was right then, and it applies today. As he said in his book he didn’t hate the Jewish religion, he hated communism,' Raymond Ranaletta wrote Tuesday, including a picture of the infamously anti-Semitic dictator and a swastika in the tweet...."
(See "Brooklyn state Senate wannabe Vito Bruno has a campaign volunteer spewing anti-Semitic hate on Twitter" by Shant Shahrigian, 10/22/2020, NY Daily News/ New York Politics/ Politics/ News [https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/new-york-elections-government/ny-vito-bruno-raymond-ranaletta-brooklyn-20201022-u6krfkdh4fernmx2c3kgksmphy-story.html]).
Vito Bruno's campaign response was reported as this:
".... Bruno’s spokesman Nick Chambles said Ranaletta 'volunteered a few times,' adding he hadn’t seen him in 'weeks.' The campaign appeared to unfollow Ranaletta on Twitter after it was contacted by the Daily News...."
We get it, what Nick had to say made this into a shambles; however, Nick's name is Chamberas not "Chambles" --- or is it "Chambers," as in rooms or compartments.....
Vito Bruno was also given an opportunity to speak for himself, and he said that: “Anti-Semitism has no place in our society and I unequivocally condemn these tweets. This individual is not on my campaign payroll and does not represent my views. Period....”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Gounardes said in a statement: “We’re shocked and disgusted, though sadly not surprised, that this is the kind of person Vito Bruno surrounds himself with and the kind of judgment he exhibits....”
The Daily News article by Shant Shahrigian also noted that >>> "Bruno is running as a Republican against state Sen. Andrew Gounardes, a Democrat, in the November election to rep a swath of South Brooklyn including Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst. Bay Ridge saw tense exchanges between “Blue Lives Matter” activists and counter-protesters over the summer....";
and that >>> ".... Ranaletta proudly showed his connection to Bruno — a former nightclub owner whose past includes since-denied claims of paying off cops and supplying celebrities with drugs — by tweeting pictures of himself campaigning, with one image that appears to show Ranaletta alongside the candidate...."
With Nick in charge, Vito's campaign is in Chambles
ReplyDeleteThere was no story until Chambles turned it into a shambles.
ReplyDeleteTo bad brooklyn paper cancelled capanos column. He could have spelled Chambers name right.
ReplyDeleteDont let it get to ya nick. In politics the only thing that matters is that they spell your name right.
ReplyDeleteVito was in solid with the Jewish vote. Until now.

ReplyDeleteANNOUNCEMENT: THE "THIS BLOG WAS WAY AHEAD OF THE PACK" EDITION
ReplyDeleteNOT ONLY HAVE WE BEEN POINTING OUT TO ANY REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES THAT WOULD LISTEN (AND SOME THAT WOULDN'T) HOW BAD A CANDIDATE WHINEY RATSO VITO BRUNO WOULD BE --- AND THAT'S ACTUALLY AND EXACTLY HOW IT TURNED OUT --- BUT ALSO THIS BLOG'S COMMENTS MAKERS HAVE BEEN RIPPING INTO RAYMOND RENALETTO AND EVEN NICK "CHAMBLES-SHAMBLES" CHAMBERAS --- FOR MONTHS WRT RENALETTO --- FOR YEARS WRT CHAMBERAS.....
When it came to the most recent Daily News article about Vito Bruno and his key man, Raymond Renaletto >>> we here at "The Brooklyn & Staten Island Independent GOP Fountainhead" were neither surprised nor shocked. What was surprising was how a campaign spokesperson like "Nick Chambles" thought that an answer like "It wasn't my turn to watch him...." was anywhere close to where it needed to be --- actually, Vito Bruno did a much better job of it all by himself.
With respect to Mr. Renaletto, his extremism was very well known by/to Republicans and Conservatives for quite a while. Why he was allowed into both the Vito Bruno and Nicole Malliotakis campaigns earlier this year is inexplicable. Probably, the Brooklyn GOP was so strapped for warm-bodied volunteers that anybody with a pulse looked good, regardless of whose pictures were on the walls or in the social media posts of those volunteers as their heroes.

ReplyDeleteAll of us know Raymond Ranalatto was a liability yet Nick Chambles allowed Raymond to work his way up the ranks of the serpentine and secretive Bruno campaign to become his second in command!! Now the poor kid makes one mistake about Hitler and the Bruno Campaign tosses him under the boat in the tabloids. Bruno should be a Man and give Ranalatto a second chance. We need him to win ! He works harder than all of us including Vito the canddiate!
ReplyDelete3:19, you are onto something, I think.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, in the Republican and Conservative Parties isn't everybody allowed to make at least one mistake about Hitler?
I have to agree with 3:19 PM, haven't we all said something about Hitler being right at one point or another?
ReplyDeleteFake news. Bruno will win the Senate seat, dance a horah, and then win a seat in the Knesset
ReplyDeleteThere was no story until Chambersa made it a story.
ReplyDeleteWhy are these skinhead types always named Ray?
ReplyDeleteLauder spent over 600k on Vito and then Nick Chewingass brought it all down.
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of it, Nicky Shambles is running the Biden campaign into the ground top
ReplyDeleteThe Jewish Press just endorsed Vito.
ReplyDeleteBruno’s spokesman Nicky Chambles said Ranaletta “volunteered a few times,” adding he hadn’t seen him in “weeks”
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of crap
No winners or losers in tonights debate.
ReplyDeleteVitos minister of propaganda ex columnist capano will even it all out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Boss Brannan lives rent free in Lil Capano's head
ReplyDeleteWith the jewish press endorsement its clear Bruno for Senate understands how campaigns are run. The only issue now is election day.
ReplyDeleteFACT: Vito Bruno has no issues with Jewish voters. He is proudly endorsed by the Learned Elders of Zion
ReplyDelete11 more days and Vito starts shopping for office furniture.
ReplyDeleteThe Boro Pres has no authority to to anything except hand out plaques. So can someone explain just what did ex columnist capano do when he worked for Markowitz?
ReplyDeletevito liam and everyone else knew raymond was a few fries short of a happy meal but it didn't stop them from exploitation and now that he got jammed up they are all distancing themselves
ReplyDeletePlease. Should we show the picture of Gournades dressing up and insulting Mexicans with his entire family again?
ReplyDeleteIf Boy Genius Chambers had just said no comment there would have been no story. Instead as daily news said Nick made it a chambles.
ReplyDeleteIn response to 9:42 you may not have noticed but during Markowitz tenure the floors at Boro Hall were so shiney they looked like fucking mirrors.
ReplyDelete642, you have an interesting POV and turn of phrase. Your comment bespeaks an intimate and nuanced affection for young and restless Ray-Ray-Ran of They-Do-Run-Run. Are you Vito-the-Gang-Bang-Hip-Hop-Bandito or Nick-nick-bo-pick-amana-mana-faux-dick-bananarama-ass-lick-Nick?

ReplyDeleteRay the Retard has a buzz cut, swatsticker tattoo's, pictures of Hitler & Vito on his twitter feed. Did it ever dawn on anyone that he was planted him in Vitos operation? This has Justin written all over it.

ReplyDeletePretty sure Crazy Raymond is a Boss Brannan operative. I heard his illness is attributed to radionuclide polonium-210. The Health Protection Agency found significant amounts of the rare and highly toxic element in his body.
