Fonseca Condemns Racist Mailer, Denies Romano Campaign Involved
Regarding a hateful flyer that cropped up on Hoboken windshields last night, veteran operative Pablo Fonseca told InsiderNJ that neither he nor anyone on his team was responsible for it, and pointed to a condemnatory Facebook message issued by his mayoral candidate, Anthony Romano.
“Our campaign had absolutely nothing to do with that,” Fonseca told InsiderNJ.
“It’s getting really ugly at game time,” he added.
It all started when Ray Ferraioli – who backs Mike DeFusco for Mayor – and Romano himself exchanged acrimonious words at a bar when the contest first began, and now, behind the scenes, DeFusco partisans are blaming the Romano camp, and the Romano camp is blaming DeFusco, for the racist flyer as the city lurches toward Election Day.

This is a picture from inside Romano’s HQ. It says “Ready, Fire, Aim. We Love Pat Waiters.” Patricia Waiters is an African American candidate and community activicst that Romano has degraded at public Freeholder meetings and sent his campaign staff to harass her. Why would Stick and Pablo allow this in their campaign office?
This is from Romano’s Facebook page. He didn’t participate in the discussion, but also didn’t say anything about it or take it down. He posted soon after it, so definitely saw it. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/20375810a55ec29d5968ac23d0b977c25228e8555ea28df5a1fc5a58fe49bf28.jpg
