“Allow me to introduce myself. I represent the Rent Is Too Damn High Party.”
And so Jimmy McMillan, begloved and sporting a snazzy mustache and beard, introduced himself to New York voters Monday and stole the spotlight at the state’s gubernatorial debate.
It’s an argument that certainly appeals to New York City residents. And McMillan, who said he wore gloves because of his exposure to Agent Orange during his service in Vietnam, also made clear he had an arch-progressive view on gay marriage. “If you want to marry a shoe, I’ll marry you,” he said. And yes, his colorfully-named party does have a website.

I just wonder how many paid up, card carrying members there are of his party.
and in big block letters on the home page of his website, he spells the word “tenant” incorrectly. Hilarious….
…and he blames the Jews for the rent problem.
A23, Are you serious?
He may end up with more votes than Mickey Mouse.
Except the government should not be setting market prices.
Yup, he blames the Jews on his website:

i agree with the “point” of his campaign, and from the video i love it. but where and how does he equate jews to rent problem?
if his sole purpose is “rent price” then why is he creating horrific prejudices?
if he is blaming jews for political reasons and not thrown off the ballet then democracy is useless, it would mean that this country could simply vote in white areas to re-enslave blacks, or vice versa.
how does he propose to lower the rent rates?
i think that he’s right……
I think the price of diapers are too high.
What does he plan on doing about that?
THIS IS AN EXACT QUOTE FROM HIS WEBSITE:
“we are calling for the resignation of the following at once
1. U.S. Senator Charles “Chuck” Ellis Schumer
2. U.S. Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand
3. New York State Attorney General, Andrew M. Cuomo
For turning there heads looking the other way ignoring that Federal and State Hate Crimes laws are being committed.
The hate crime that is currently being committed is on a much different scale it includes a Religious group known as “The Jewish Faith.” Where if you are not Jewish you are prohibited from living in a designated area of Brooklyn NY better known as the Williamsburg Section of Brooklyn.
Every New Homes/ Condo/ Apartment Building dating far back as (c1989) to current if you are not Jewish are not be allowed to Rent or Buy and allowed to conduct business in any way if you are not Jewish.”
HOW DOES HE EQUATE THE TINY SECTION OF WILLIAMSBURG BROOKLYN WITH RENT PRICES?!, IS HE USING RACISM TO ATTRACT ATTENTION TO HIS CAMPAIGN
THIS GUY IS TROUBLE, HE’S USING ETHNIC SLURS IN HIS CAMPAIGN, HE THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT JUST BECAUSE HE’S PROMISING TO LOWER EVERYONES RENT AND HAND THEM FREE MONEY
To #11 – This guy is trouble? Really? He’s a clown – and an amusing one! He’s not trouble at all, he’s a funny nut who got a platform last night. By the way, why the caps?
what gives?
I met him personally, What he is saying is that the Jews do own or rent property in Williamsburg. He is not a Racist he is saying a fact that We Jews are in control of the rent there. and the fact that there is a segregation between the two which is unconstitutional and is considered a hate crime acc to Mr. Rent to damn high.
Before you guys get all excited about this creepy person, he is a socialist & his proposals are unconstitutional, which as a socialist, he doesnt care about the Constitution anyway.
I wonder who his landlord is? If I were his landlord I’d raise his rent.
