Iraq Veterans for Congress Political Action Committee (IVC) today condemned candidate Michael Allegretti’s shameless attempt to smear a decorated Marine Corps veteran in an effort to save his fledgling campaign in New York’s 13th Congressional District.
At issue is a military photo of Allegretti’s Republican primary opponent Michael Grimm a veteran of the Operation Desert Storm. Allegretti claims that Grimm is misleading voters by wearing decorations he doesn’t rate. Grimm explained that at the time of the photo he rated the medals.
