Rose, Malliotakis discuss several issues in heated debate
With the 11th Congressional District having one of the closest races in the state, U.S. Rep. Max Rose and Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis battled during a contentious debate hosted by NY1 on Wednesday, Oct. 14.
During the evening, the two candidates were asked about the negative ads they’ve run against each other and which ones they were bothered most by.
For Rose, it was ads that used his image of him attending a Black Lives Matter protest on Staten Island. The ad suggested that he stood by while several protesters chanted provocative slogans, including one to defund the police.
