Andrew Giuliani reportedly employs a TikTok-famous zookeeper on his campaign staff
Andrew Giuliani seems to be happily continuing his father's longstanding tradition of making questionable choices in the public eye — this time, during his run for governor of New York.
Most recently, it was reported that Andrew employs Sean Kalin Jr., a "TikTok-famous zookeeper from Florida who loves sloths and kangaroos," on his campaign operation. Why, you may ask? Well, it appears to be because Kalin's father "competed on a golf-themed reality show" with the gubernatorial candidate in 2013, The Intelligencer writes.
Also on the campaign roster are: "password idiot" Ryan McAvoy, a staffer for former President Donald Trump most known for leaving his "encrypted passwords at a D.C. bus stop;" Heather McBride, Giuliani's spokeswoman and former childhood babysitter; and Jake Menges, a "Rudy veteran."
