Former Top Rudy Adviser Hits Him For Abandoing "Progressive" Views
Fran Reiter, the campaign manager for Rudy Giuliani's successful mayoral reelection campaign in 1997, is snubbing her old boss and backing Hillary instead, according to today's New York Post.
Tellingly, Reiter, who also served as a deputy mayor in the Giuliani administration, blows the whistle on Rudy for his lurches to the right in the GOP primary, saying he's backed off of the "progressive" positions he held as Mayor.
"He took a political turn to the right," Reiter tells the paper. "It's a much more ideological agenda. The progressive views he took he's backed away from."
So a former top adviser to Rudy says he's "progressive"? Somehow we get the feeling that GOP primary voters will be made aware of this.

The trouble is----a lot of lifelong democrats keep getting slapped in the face with things concerning Hillary which make them....uncomfortable.
Not that you will read much about those things on this site.

While he was mayor Fran Reiter was more responsible than anyone that Giuliani behaved and supported prochoice policies.
She made sure the NY City Clinic access bill was enforced by the NYPD which had initially resisited.
