Kassar pretty much says that, as far as he's concerned, lying is the same as the truth


With his "Jewel in the Crown " candidate caught way off base with a phony photo-shopped picture showing Nicole Malliotakis about to deliver COVID-19 supplies to those in need  ---  Jerry Kassar said he was fine with it  ---  and then tried to blame  >>> those who noticed <<<  the phony picture of Nicole and the supplies


This story made the city-wide papers  ---  and it has legs  ---  at least one Dem operator thinks that this might be the worst poison pill yet for what's left of Nicole's campaign


Kassar's remarks pretty much indicate that all of his side's literature in 2020 will be a "fake news" operation



There will be more about this in due course.....

Funny how the old Grimm crew has joined Saladino in blasting Nicole for this. And Nicole’s minions can’t say a word in response to them because they used to trash Nicole right along with them.

AS AND FOR MY SECOND FYI >>> TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FRIENDS WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REAL INTERESTS IN THE 2020 ELECTIONS SENT ME "HEADS UP" E-MAILS ABOUT NICOLE'S PHOTO-SHOPPED COVID-19 VITAL SUPPLIES - AND WHERE'S WALDO FIASCO --- HOWEVER, THE MAIN ARTICLE ABOVE IS MINE, AND WHERE DO I SAY THAT I'M THE ONE WHO FIGURED OUT THE PHOTO-SHOP SCAM OR THAT I BROKE THE STORY ???

Maybe I just read more carefully than some of your "1200" mostly imaginary and bot visitors but here you go: "Just look what a few of us got together and did to the Kassar-Malliotakis cabal (see my next feature post above)." This comment is one that you actually attribute to yourself instead of the other "anonymous" comments that you so obviously post. Must be hard to keep up sometimes I guess.

RESPONSE: THE "WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:47 PM"

WHAT LAUGHINGLY GETS TO BE CALLED NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS' CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS CLEARLY PARADES ITS SHORTCOMINGS FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE --- IN THIS INSTANCE, HOW TONE DEAF AND OUT OF STEP WITH WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON AT LEAST ONE OF NICOLE'S SUPPORTERS IS

ANY PUBLISHED POLITICAL STATEMENT ABOUT NICOLE'S OPPONENT, CONGRESSMAN MAX ROSE, THAT BEGINS WITH "MAX ROSE IS HELPING PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS..." HAS JUST SCORED A BIG WIN FOR MAX ROSE..... AND THE VALUE OF THAT WIN GETS BUILT UP TO EXTREME HEIGHTS WHEN SOMEBODY SPEAKING FOR MAX ROSE GETS TO RESPOND WITH THIS "ALL IN" CALL: "MAX ROSE IS SERVING IN THE MILITARY RESERVES...."


Going back to the real news of the main post above --- the part about Jerry Kassar's not caring about the truth or falsehood of what is in Nicole Malliotakis' published material presenting her to the public as somebody worthy of support --- it is really beginning to look that NOTHING can be done or said that makes Nicole Malliotakis look good compared to Max Rose whether what's done or said contains a fundamental truth or falsehood.

The two comments above "... at 8:47 PM" and "... at 8:09 AM" have the net effect of showing that during this Coronavirus crisis as a member of the U.S. armed forces, Congressman Max Rose is serving fellow Americans in New Orleans, specifically fellow Americans that have no interest in his re-election. AND, on the other hand, some Nicole Malliotakis supporter chides Congressman Rose for doing it.

Compare that to Jerry Kassar's approving, even after the Malliotakis campaign got caught out, a phony release that showed Nicole being somewhere she wasn't and doing something that she didn't.

This whole little comparison of what Max and Nicole are doing about and for the Coronavirus COVID-19 victims will have more legs than a centipede --- each with a hobnail boot on it to kick Nicole and Jerry's asses --- you do the math on how many times.....

9:43 Good points Galewyn. This story isn't going away. It was featured in the Daily News and now the Washington Post has picked it up. What makes me wonder is why the RNC hasn't stepped in yet? The Nicole's response to this story has been amateur hour.

Anonymous said...

Nicoles call to get the needed $1,200 to seniors who no longer file tax returns was a brilliant move by Kassar. This move demonstrates the common sense approach about steering government services to constituents. Meanwhile Rose continues to double dip on on federal checks for himself that serve as great backdrops for campaign photos.

I'll stick with the candidate who sticks with us.

Nick Chambers needs to stop lashing out at kassar and Nicole because he was booted in favor of other, more experienced and professional folks. Nick will always be a little boy- he has no guts or spine to stand up for himself other than anonymously here.

3:56 nice try! If the grammar was a little better and the syntax different that might be Nick Chamberas but obviously not and better luck next time. Sure he must be flattered and also grateful that he's far away from this mess. Nicole does have a good team with smart nice people on board, she would do well to listen to them more.

I'm new to this Blog. No offense but it looks like a circular firing squad. Instead of focusing on Nicole's Photoshopping - not a smart move - why aren't we slamming Justin Brannan for it? I'm not saying everyone needs to fall in line like good little soldiers but perspective on the larger hopefully shared objectives would be productive.

8:42 good question with a simple answer. JB is a low IQ buffoon who is a councilman because his opponent dropped the ball last time and won't lose again because Bay Ridge has never voted out an incumbent councilman. He actually posts on this blog too. We know we won't win that seat. The Rose seat is something we should win easily but anybody who knows even a little about Nicole knows that as smart as she is she has self destructive tendencies. She could've owned up to this right away, should have asked conservatives to take it down. Instead she won't dare do any of that and makes her staff pretend it didn't happen while DCCC has a field day promoting it and its picked up by the Washington Post and Daily News. Oh yea and Joe Cal her primary opponent is no slouch in the intelligence department with a law degree and former special victims prosecutor is now running the conservatives own ad against Nicole on YouTube. The Nicole Bros defending her on social media just look stupid.

Anonymous said...

Malliotakis will never have any years in congress, because she already is a national figure of ridicule. That's all because Nicole Malliotakis allowed her people to double down on her "big lie" that she was personally delivering supplies to Coronavirus victims around her district when, in realty, she wasn't anywhere near either her Assembly District or the congressional district where she is running for congress.

After her first 'It just doesn't matter!' excuse crashed like a lead balloon, her team has tried to use a variety of 'Everybody does it!' excuses. The most recent being the 'Nobody noticed...' part of a comment by 'Anonymous 9:21 AM' right here only a few notches up the totem pole from this comment.

They really must be kidding when they say that 'Nobody noticed...'

Anonymous said...

Forgive 9:21 she's just drinking the kool aid. Nicole's fundraising has been pitiful since the summer. There are actually other NYC Republican candidates in unwinnable races that have raised more money than Nicole. The truth is that no current or former consultant worth anything will risk their reputation to work with her. Nobody noticed the photoshop? It made the Daily News and Washington Post and went viral. The DCCC is fundraising off of it. Some of her own supporters were so upset they initially thought it was fake news and that it didn't happen. One poor lady demanded Joe take down his post because she thought he was lying.

The Nicole bros really need to calm down. They can deny all they want and make stupid excuse like everybody does it but this ain’t going away.

Fact remains while our Congressman is on active duty helping fellow Americans, Gerry’s puppet was probably in hiding wearing a hazmat suit making calls to donors begging for money.

A LIE IS A LIE IS A LIE --- A PHONY IS A PHONY IS A PHONY --- AND --- A LOSER IS A LOSER IS A LOSER


My message to and about our current Republican-Conservative candidate for Congress in Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn, Nicole Malliotakis, and EACH AND EVERYONE of the obviously intellectually and morally challenged folks that still support her is quite simple. However, it does require a bit of background in 20th Century fictional villainy..... Just think of Nicole's "Lord and Master in politics, policy and perfidy," Gerard Kassar, as Sax Rohmer's "Doctor Fu Manchu".....

To Nicole and the rest of you: instead of thinking of the old adage: "If the shoe fits, wear it...."; think of it this way: "When the Fu shits, wear it...."

Losing any substantial chunk of the GOP vote, like 25%, in a GOP primary is closer to being a knock than a boost.
