Sliwa paid $11K for Proud Boys-backing political consultant

Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa has paid more than $11,000 to a campaign consultant who’s made statements supporting the far-right Proud Boys, one of the groups that played a central role in the Capital insurrection that left five dead.

Gavin Wax, who in 2018 wrote an article entitled “We are all Proud Boys Now,” has so far raked in $11,041 from Sliwa’s mayoral campaign for his work as a political consultant and for consultant services, records from the city Campaign Finance Board show.

Wax, who also serves as president of the New York Young Republican Club, received two payments in July and one in August, according to the records.

Sliwa is no stranger to controversy and political theater. He’s the founder of the Guardian Angels, a vigilante/neighborhood watch group, and admitted in 1992 to staging hoaxes to gain publicity for it.
