The New York Times followed Eliot Spitzer’s return to the campaign trail on Monday as the former Democratic governor of New York embarks on a bid to become New York City comptroller.

According to the Times, Spitzer — who resigned as governor in 2008 amid a prostitution scandal — “endured loud hecklers and received unsolicited compliments” in the city’s Union Square.

“You slept with hookers, and you lied and cheated on your family,” one man was quoted as saying.
