I forgot he was even running, he's such a non-factor.

I love this guy................................His heart is in the right place......
Come to think of it he is the only candidate who has a heart as opposed to the other empty chested contenders.
Others would have simply ushered off that homeless man? Not Curtis......He immediately stepped in to help.
Human compassion on display. He is real folks.

God Bless You Curtis.............You got my vote.
The only candidate who really knows New York City inside and out.
A true New Yorker. A fearless New Yorker. The only true public servant for the people.
OUR NEXT MAYOR.....

He’s P.T. Barnum. Shame on the NY Republican Party for not running a serious candidate for mayor.

We should have some sort of credentials or exam that anyone that wants to run for office has to take.

This guy is a radio personality.

If Sliwa gets 10% of the vote, New Yorkers are even stupider than I thought.

P.T Barnum would have been proud. I wonder how much, Sliwa PAID this actor for this well choreographed, staged event..

I am surprised they didn't break into a soft shoe with someone tossing Sliwa a cane.

I give the guy points for having a mask

An honest man with a good heart can never be a politician, it’s not how it works. You have to be a hooker and sell yourself to as many as you can to be a politician.

Many of you guys can't see passed his Whiteness and political affiliation. I bet you couldn't even stand to watch him speak for a few minutes to listen to his ideas. Your minds have been rotted.

I can't stand deblasio and couldn't stand Cuomo. But I routinely watched and listened to their tv briefings/speeches.

It's good to have an open mind.

I'm fine with the guy, but he has no chance at being mayor.
