In 1989, he took out a full-page newspaper ad calling for the death penalty for a group of black and brown 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds convicted in the Central Park Jogger rape case, and continued to advocate for it 14 years later when their wrongful conviction was overturned.

There are indications that the shamelessness and "Munchausenism" have spread like coronavirus pandemic to such countries as Australia, the UK, France and Germany, spawning more "Baron Munchausens" in the process among politicians and the mass media.
