“He (Sandy Litvack) cited me calling Democratic representatives ‘assholes’ who afford more protections and concern to illegal immigrants than they do for my fellow wounded, homeless veterans and the families of my fallen brothers.

“The venom he (Carl Higbie) spews is abhorrent…I feel strongly that he has the right to espouse his views however obnoxious I and others may find them. BUT he does not have the right to do so at our Town Hall, paid for by the taxpayers, and he should not have the backing of our officials, who by their presence, give legitimacy to him and his ilk.” – Greenwich Democratic Selectman Sandy Litvack Continue Reading →

“Contrary to Mr. Tesei’s assertion, this is not an issue about free speech. Carl Higbie can rant all he wants (as he does daily on his Twitter feed). The issue is that Mr. Tesei is condoning Higbie’s offensive remarks by giving him the imprimatur of the highest elected office in Greenwich, his.” – Jonathan Perloe Continue Reading →
A year ago, Greenwich native and former Navy Seal Carl Higbie, was riding high. The married father of two who served two tours in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, was a regular on Fox and CNN. Then was given a job in the Trump administration. But it all came crashing down when remarks he made in 2013 as a radio host on Sound of Freedom surfaced.
