Republican-Conservative candidate for City Council Brian Fox is still making BAD NEWS with his "Big Lie" about the Memorial Day Parade

 

Following the lead of those of us on this independent Republican blog, an opinionator, who is well-known for his  writing in the "... Reporter" newspapers, called out the big dark man with the ill-fitting jackets, who always seems to have too many Conservative Party members surrounding and advising him  >>>  for spreading lies that are even bigger, fatter, and darker than he is.....

For those that missed it, candidate for City Council in and for the 43rd Council District Brian Fox decided to follow the advice of some genius in his campaign and try to foist the "Big Lie" that his Democrat opponent, New York City Councilman Justin Brannan, had some hand in cancelling the 2021 Memorial Day "Parade" in Bay Ridge  >>>  WHEN NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH

The story of that Brian Fox "Big Lie" is now being retold very well by a columnist named Jay Brown in an "opinion piece" ---  in the "Home Reporter" and on his own site  ---  tying it in to a pattern of "big lies" by candidate Fox  ---  and then making a linkage to some apparent pattern of similar "lies" engulfing the GOP generally 

Although we here agree with the Brian Fox stuff by Mr. Brown, which is both well-written and well-reported, the rest is just routine lib-tard whining

Columnist Jay Brown summed it up about Brian Fox' most recently blown-up falsehood like this:  "....   a City Council candidate saying a parade was canceled because a political opponent did not care to save it, but then also attending the parade a few days later.... is lazy and it is only done because some think that all of us are lazy. Do not let anyone treat you as if you are too lazy to understand and accept the truth."  (See "What Lies Ahead ?"  by Jay Brown,  6/6/2021, Within Writes/ Matter of Fact    [http://withinwrites.com/2021/06/06/what-lies-ahead/];  the same column appeared in the Brooklyn Reporter Papers beginning on 6/4/2021).

Mr. Brown also opened his piece with this solid reporting:  "On Monday, May 31, Bay Ridge once again hosted the oldest, continuously running Memorial Day parade in the county. Due to the pandemic, the 154th edition was held as a motorcade for the second year in a row, though this year’s was expanded, with the reintroduction of a parade float and an invitation for anyone to join the procession....  Despite the event taking place on Memorial Day, if you had only read certain social media posts at the beginning of the holiday weekend, you would have believed that it was canceled and that it was all Councilman Justin Brannan’s fault. Obviously, that was not the case....  On the Friday before Memorial Day, Brannan’s challenger in this year’s election promoted the idea that the Memorial Day event would not take place “down the streets of Bay Ridge” and that it was “not a priority of Councilman Justin Brannan.” But the event was set to take place and Brannan had offered to help organizers make sure it continued....  Raymond Aalbue, Executive Director of United Military Veterans of Kings County and organizer of the Brooklyn Memorial Day Parade, explained weeks before this year’s event that even though the recent easing of COVID restrictions would have probably allowed for their normal parade format, “it was just too late. We started planning our parade in September, October last year.” He added that “the committee of mainly Veterans that runs this parade did this as a collective decision.”...  The same political candidate stating on May 28 that the Memorial Day event had been cancelled, was at the very Memorial Day event three days later, as it took place. This same candidate had said on May 12 that Brannan’s district office “for years… sadly is always closed,” even though Brannan has kept his office open throughout the entire pandemic...."

MAKE NO MISTAKE, WE HERE ON THIS BLOG DON'T BELIEVE OR ENDORSE EVERYTHING THAT JAY BROWN SAID IN HIS COLUMN IN THE "HOME REPORTER" AND HIS SITE "WITHIN WRITES".....

Needless to say, we here completely part ways with Mr. Jay Brown where he generalizes (and then particularizes) about the imagined, purported, reported and alleged "Big Lies" of President Trump and the national GOP.....   Nonethless, we agree with him for 'belling the cat" of several of the "Big Lies" of Brian Fox, especially the whoppers about the 2021 Memorial Day Parade and related matters.
