Early life

Political views
At one time Danny supported the Democratic Party and Bill Clinton. However, as years came and went, Aiello decided to stop supporting Bill Clinton and other Democrats following the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Aiello stated, "I turned in my card to become a Republican because I did not want to be known as a Democrat under that person's regime. I'm a traditionalist. I have certain values that I live by, and he practices none of those things."
