Foley asked Buchanan if he has a job, in which he responded, No, right now Im unemployed. But he added, I was with my uncle in real estate. I take care of some of his buildings right now.
Foley asked, You going to stick around and vote in November?
Im going to vote for Mr. Tom Foley, Buchanan replied. At the end of the video, it says, Im Tom Foley and I approve this message.
According to criminal records, 64-year-old Jerry Buchanan served three months in prison in 2006 for three separate sex-assault misdemeanors in Guilford and Madison during May and July of 2005.
These are spontaneous, man-on-the street interviews and they are not vetted or pre-screened, Chris Cooper, Foleys spokesman said.. The only information we get about the subjects comes from what they provide on tape in a two or three minute interview about their views on Connecticut.
According to CT Post, the segment was filmed by Foley and a video crew as part of the Republicans Talk with Tom series featured on the candidates website.
Foleys campaign said they plan to scrub the interview from the website.

and will return to regular Jablum - this was a gift- lovely but way too expensive for daily use.
