Jimmy McMillan, the New York man who ran for governor on the "Rent is Too Damn High" ticket, says he is being thrown out of his Manhattan apartment because the rent is too low, the New York Post reported Friday.
McMillan — known as much for his trademark white wraparound moustache and goatee as he is his populist political views — told the newspaper he pays $872.96 for a rent-controlled apartment he's had since the 1970's.
"I've been here since 1977, and they want more money!" McMillan told the Post. "It's about 'My Rent is Too Damn Low.'
