New Jersey GOP Candidate Who Smeared Poop On Day Care Blames Obama
https://www.yahoo.com/news/jersey-gop-c ... 24765.html
A New Jersey electrician who is running for a seat in the State Assembly admits he once smeared poop on the doors of a day care center ― and he says it’s Obama's fault.
Joseph Viso Jr. is a Republican candidate for the 36th District, but, as the New Jersey Globe notes, he has a lengthy criminal record that includes federal and state convictions on drug and gun charges and a history of financial issues.
For instance, in 2016, he pleaded guilty in a federal court to one count of conspiracy to distribute methylone and was sentenced to three years of probation.
Viso was given two years of probation in 2019 after being charged in 2014 with possessing a sawed-off shotgun near a school, possessing a gun while committing a crime and multiple drug offenses.
There was also the time in 2013 when he was charged with possession of heroin and served seven days in jail.
But those crimes aren’t as gross as the one he was charged with in 2009: smearing fecal matter on the doors of a children’s day care center in East Rutherford.
Viso had a dispute with the day care center, which was next to his business, and he said that day care employees “harassed my men every day. They had cars ticketed every time my men parked on a side street.”
At some point, he said, he decided to get even by smearing poop on the handles and locks of the child care facility.
After the investigating officer told Viso there was video evidence of his poop-smearing, he apologized and said, “I’m not proud of what I did.”
“I was a young man. It was a horrible time, and I made a mistake,” Viso, 52, said. “Obama came into office the year before.”That would make Viso about 39 at the time, an age when most people have learned not to smear poop.
Viso is running against two incumbents, neither of whom have any poop-smearing allegations on their record

It's nothing but one more example of the fact that liberals are ignorant and care nothing about integrity and honesty either in their own community, in Congress or in the White House.
I get such a kick watching liberals now cry and moan about inflation, the price of gas, the price of food, illegal immigration, high interest rates, drag queens performing for kids, boys in girl's locker room, restrooms and showers, CRT, throwing trillions at the hoax of "climate change" while American citizens including veterans are homeless and not getting a lick of help from Biden as he sends over 100 billion to Ukraine and steals our Strategic Oil Reserve so his junkie idiot son can reap a profit from China!
You get the government you voted for and deserve!
And yet you're not happy are you?
Imagine that!

On March 19, 2003, Ganim was convicted of 16 federal counts: one count each of racketeering, extortion, racketeering conspiracy, and bribery; two counts of bribery conspiracy; eight counts of mail fraud, and two counts of filing a false tax return.[27][28] Ganim was acquitted on six other counts.[28] Ganim surrendered his law license upon conviction.[27] The charges arose from Ganim's "role in a six-year scheme to shake down city contractors for more than $500,000 in cash, meals, clothing, wine and home renovations."[28] In April 2003, two weeks after being convicted, Ganim resigned from office.[29] He was replaced by councilman John M. Fabrizi.[29]
Ganim faced a possible sentence of up to 126 years, $500,000 in restitution, and $4 million in fines.[28] Federal prosecutors asked for a sentence of ten years and one month, while the defense asked for a sentence of no more than three years and ten months.[30] Testimonials seeking leniency were filed with the court on Ganim's behalf, including one from Cardinal Edward M. Egan of New York.[30] On July 1, 2003, U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton sentenced Ganim to nine years in prison and about $300,000 in fines and restitution, in addition to $175,000 that he had previously stipulated that he owed.[30] Judge Arterton said that Ganim's crimes were "stuff that cynicism is made of" and determined by clear and convincing evidence that Ganim had "lied to the jury when he denied any knowledge of fee-splitting deals and other incriminating evidence."[30] Ganim appealed, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld Ganim's convictions in December 2007.[31]
Federal prison sentence
Ganim surrendered in September 2003 and served most of his sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.[32][33] He unsuccessfully petitioned for a transfer to FCI Otisville in New York, to be with his family.[34] In 2009, Ganim was transferred to the FCI McKean prison camp in Pennsylvania.[33] Ganim then served the last seven months of his sentence at a halfway house in Hartford.[35] Ganim's sentence was reduced by a year for participating in a drug-treatment program.[35]
Return to Bridgeport
In July 2010, Ganim was released after serving seven years in prison.[35] After his release, Ganim worked as a legal assistant at his family's law firm in Bridgeport.[36] Ganim and his brother George Ganim Jr. also opened a consulting service, Federal Prison Consultant LLC, which offered other white-collar convicts advice on surviving federal prison terms.[37]
