Staten Island pol latest target by vandals comparing Republicans to Nazis

A radio presenter who hosts talk shows and is competing for a seat on the City Council in Staten Island was recently attacked by far-left vandals who equated Republicans with Nazis.

The hateful act was discovered Friday, after a vandal defaced one of Frank Morano’s campaign lawn signs with “NAZI SCUM” scrawled under his name, at the corner of Richmond Road and Morley Avenue.

“Any sort of vandalism, any sort of graffiti, is just horrible, but when it’s this kind of hate speech, it goes beyond the pale,” said Morano, who is running in an April 29 special election to represent the borough’s South Shore, following an unrelated press conference where he and other Republicans rallied in support of law enforcement.

Morano, host of WABC-AM’s “The Other Side of Midnight,” said he was targeted because of his party affiliation, as upstate police search for a vandal who taped three swastikas Thursday in front of New York State Republican Party headquarters in Albany.

He told The Post Saturday that having someone label him a Nazi because he’s a Republican is “insulting” and “hurtful,” adding he believes the GOP “is leading the way in terms of fighting against Nazism and fascism.”

Staten Island Republican Michael Tannousis said the person who first discovered the latest vandalism is Jewish and a U.S. Army veteran, making the incident even more troubling.

“We will not accept this on Staten Island,” he added.

The NYPD didn’t return a request for comment.
