Former Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) on Tuesday called for removal of a campaign ad promoting Democratic congressional candidate Tom Suozzi that features a clip of the two former lawmakers together, describing the commercial as “misleading.”
King, who has endorsed Republican Nassau County Legis. Mazi Melesa Pilip in the 3rd Congressional District special election, said in a statement the television ad “sends the false message … that I support his bid for Congress.”
King continued: “I am asking for the Suozzi campaign to immediately stop running these misleading ads.”…
Pilip said the ad should be taken down, calling it “a sad attempt to create a false impression of bipartisan support.”

Pilip campaign spokesman Brian Devine told Newsday that regardless of who is behind the ad, Suozzi still should call for its removal.
