The Guardian Angels were founded in the late 70's or early 80's by Curtis Sliwa, who later became a radio talk show host and made a failed run for Mayor of New York City a couple of years back. The Angels' reach extended upstate, and I remember they did a recruiting drive around 1982-3 in downtown.
40+ years later, the Angels' reputation has been soiled. On live television.
Sliwa, in particular, drank the Trump-Ade. Years earlier, he'd been forced to admit that the Angels had fabricated some exploits for publicity purposes. In 2024, they're back to lying, and they had the right audience for that on Tuesday night, when Sliwa was interviewed by Spam Hannity of Fox No News. Farron Cousins has the video footage.
It turns out it wasn't a "migrant" after all, but a Bronx native. Figure Sliwa either didn't know he had made a mistake, or this was for show for the Fox No News audience. Whichever way it was, it was still an error in judgment on the part of the Angels.
I don't think we've heard the last of this story.
