Golden Stands by Campaign Staffer after Proud Boys Melee
Bay Ridge state Sen. Marty Golden is resisting calls to fire a campaign worker embroiled in controversy over a melee outside a Manhattan Republican club involving members of an alt-right group and angry leftist protesters.
Michael Tobman, a spokesperson for Golden’s re-election campaign, told this newspaper that the lawmaker has no intention of firing Ian Reilly, the manager of his campaign office.
“Ian Reilly is the campaign’s office manager, and will continue to serve in that role, as he has capably and professionally for several months,” Tobman told this newspaper via email on Wednesday.
