The Late Show With Stephen Colbert skewered Anthony D’Esposito after a groundbreaking report in The New York Times exposed D’Esposito for putting his fiancée’s daughter and the woman he was having an affair with on his congressional payroll – a potential violation of multiple House ethics rules.
Colbert’s scathing segment also noted how Anthony D’Esposito pretended to take a call when reporters asked why he put a woman he was having an affair with on his congressional payroll – just like how D’Esposito’s fellow vulnerable New York Republicans Mike Lawler and Marc Molinaro suddenly became very interested in an elevator ceiling when reporters asked if D’Esposito should be subject to an ethics investigation.
DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“When there’s smoke, there’s fire. Anthony D’Esposito’s abuse of power is now on surround sound for Nassau County families to hear.”
