What Kind Of A Man Would Stoop To Claim Credit for Saving A Life He Didn’t Save?

A Man Who Would:

Take the endorsement of Nick Spano, a fallen, crooked politician, and create taxpayer-funded jobs for his mob;

Bring Giulio Cavallo, a political prostitute who sells cross endorsements for cash, into the election process;

Run on a party line whose chairman, Zehy Jereis, is an election fraudster and a convicted drug dealer.

Given the controversy surrounding Yonkers Mayor Phil Amicone’s claim to have saved the life of a choking victim at Spiga, a restaurant
on Central Avenue in Scarsdale, a few weeks ago, The Guardian decided to conduct its own field investigation. Based upon accounts from individuals present at the incident, we have concluded that, other than shaking the victim’s hand, after the food matter, a chunk of chicken, was ejected from his mouth, Mr. Amicone had no other physical contact with him, no Heimlich maneuver, nor any other lifesaving intervention, actually performed by another man present.

Why the Mayor would seize upon the opportunity to falsely cloak himself with heroics is anybody’s guess. But, candidates for high public
office have been known to make false claims. Military bravery, scholastic achievement, both easily verifiable, have often been attempted
by desperate office seekers. One thing for certain, it doesn’t speak well for Phil Amicone’s character, especially in light of his betrayal of the
People of Yonkers, bringing the likes of Nick Spano’s hacks onto the public payroll, and doing business with slime like Cavallo and Jereis.
