" Guardians Angels boss Curtis Sliwa issued what amounted to a defiant apology Thursday for saying he thought a man roughed up by his crew on national TV in Times Square was a migrant because the man spoke Spanish — a flub some city leaders are calling a “hate crime.”<br /><br />“Washed-up comic book villain instructed his herd of wannabe vigilantes to beat up a guy they decided ‘looked like’ a migrant,” Councilman Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) tweeted. “A hate crime. Live on TV. Violence of any kind, whether against cops or innocent people in Times Sq, must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”<br /><br />During a live broadcast on Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Sliwa had the cameraman pan to a fight between the “migrant” and several red-jacket sporting Guardian Angels.<br /><br />“Our guys have just taken down one of the migrant guys right here on the corner — 42nd [St.] and Seventh [Ave.],” Sliwa said during the broadcast, calling the man a shoplifter. “They’ve taken over.”<br /><a href="https://news.yahoo.com/curtis-sliwa-belived-man-attacked-204800502.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://news.yahoo.com/curtis-sliwa-belived-man-attacked-204800502.html</a><br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn2XQ5iWfNc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn2XQ5iWfNc</a>
