An unknown candidate named Jimmy McMillan was the breakout star in New York's gubernatorial debate this week with his black gloves, mutton chops and mantra familiar to many New York apartment dwellers: "The rent is Too. Damn. High."
Clips from the debate have made McMillan a national cable news sensation, while a YouTube video has gotten more than a million hits in just two days.
Turns out McMillan isn't exactly a perfect messenger for his cause.
A perennial fringe candidate who has run for governor, Senate and New York City mayor, McMillan has blamed the city's high rents in part on Jewish landlords. He also has given conflicting stories on how much he pays for his own apartment in Brooklyn, where he's lived for 20 years.
