Charles Hynes, who’s running for reelection in a contested race for Brooklyn District Attorney, handed out Friday campaign flyers with his own name misspelled badly. A reporter, at the celebrate Brooklyn show, took one of the flyers that Hynes was handing out and noticed that instead of “Charles Hynes” the literature read: “Charles J. Hayes for DA.”
Of course, the photo made its rounds on Twitter:
