SAT . Curtis Sliwa quits radio gig in on-air shouting match after calls to drop NYC mayor bid
Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa angrily quit his radio gig at 77 WABC Wednesday in a fiery on-air argument after its owner and one of the station’s most recognizable hosts called on him to drop his Big Apple mayoral bid.
“You will never see me in the studio of WABC ever again,” Sliwa told host Sid Rosenberg, who is pushing Sliwa to move aside so independent candidate Andrew Cuomo has the best shot at upsetting Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.
