Anatomy of a campaign with nothing left but the grift and the skim --- 11th hour buy of Brian Fox Campaign fleece vests --- and twin hoaxes in last week about a single "stolen" lawn sign

 

Brian Fox posts video hoax  ---  alleged to have been the theft of one lone lawn sign  ---  However, Liam McCabe posted a very similar single stolen lawn sign hoax almost a day earlier


Not only are these Siamese twin hoaxes dirty campaign tricks by Brian Fox and his top guy Liam McCabe  ---  they are very poor and pathetic dirty campaign tricks  ---  and very badly executed



The proof that it is all a hoax is apparent, and it's contained inside the Facebook posts, on Liam Ambrose McCabe's page, and on the Brian Fox for City Council Facebook and web pages




And then we have the spectacle of the purchase of a bunch of fleece vests with the "Brian Fox for City Council" logo on them  ---  which were given out to Brian and Liam, and a handful of campaign insiders  ---  Is this the best use of donor funds and/or matching funds for the last days of this so far very lack-luster 2021 campaign  ???


With less than two weekends to go, suddenly the empty gas tank light started flashing on the Fox campaign dashboard.

TIME TO BUY CAMPAIGN SWAG FOR THE FOX TEAM INSIDERS


When a campaign suddenly buys usless giveaway material at the very back end of a campaign, then you know that they have nothing better to spend their money on than momentos.  If that material is fleece vests for a select few insiders, then more pointed questions might need to be asked by the grownups out there.

AND THEN  ---  THERE WAS THE GREAT LAWN SIGN CAPER


The first single stolen lawn sign item to appear was on the Liam Ambrose McCabe Facebook page, as follows:  
"Liam Ambrose McCabe is [imogi] feeling disappointed...  [8:52 PM,  10/23/2021]...  Why are #JustinBrannan campaigners resorting to vandalism and theft? I guess it's in line with him ducking debates and spreading slander about Brian Fox for City Council but it's still shame they have resorted to these type of tactics..."

>>> EXCEPT THERE'S NOTHING THERE SHOWING THAT THEY ARE BRANNAN'S CAMPAIGNERS --- OR THAT THERE WAS ANY THEFT OR VANDALISM <<<

Then this appeared both on the Fox campaign Facebook page, and also on the campaign's web page:  
"Brian Fox for City Council...  [(Facebook) @3:51 PM, 10/24/2021]...   Disgusting…. but not surprising Justin Brannan (Councilman Justin Brannan) supporters are willing to stoop to this sort of behavior to shield for truth about what their preferred candidate did to the men and women of the NYPD last Summer. Unfortunately for them, we know and we remember. Thank you to one of my many supporters for coming down to my office and brining this disturbing video to myself.... Make no mistake, this goes so much farther than just a sign on somebody’s lawn. It is a desperate attempt to deprive voters of knowing about just one of the many horrible decisions the Councilman has made since being in office.... #dykerheights...  #Bensonhurst... #bathbeach... #bayridge..."

>>> NOTE THAT BRIAN FOX ADMITTED THAT THIS MASSIVE THEFT INVOLVED ONLY ONE SINGLE SIGN --- WHAT HE DIDN'T MENTION WAS THAT ANOTHER OF HIS SIGNS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO HAD BEEN LEFT UNDISTURBED <<<

The McCabe and Fox lawn sign postings are separated in time by about eighteen (18) hours --- nonetheless, they allegedly depict similar things, and the accompanying verbal obserations are quite similar.

Of course Fox tried this transparent charade --- ".... Thank you to one of my many supporters for coming down to my office and brining [sic] this disturbing video to myself...." --- in a useless attempt to make his video look like it was unrelated to McCabe's post (tough to really tell, but it looks like the same unidentfied two kids in McCabe's posted still photo and Fox's posted video).

The Post has a round up of all competitive races and the Prince of Fleece is not included.

Such a negative tone. If grift and skim is still there in the final stretch that shows good planning.

RESPONSE: THE "RAPID REACTION SHOWN BY THE MANY COMMENTS SUBMITTED (SOME EXCLUDED BY THE MODERATOR) CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THAT A RAW NERVE WAS EXPOSED AND TWANGED PRETTY GOOD" EDITION

--- AND ---

A FURTHER RESPONSE: THE " 'PRINCE OF FLEECE' COMMENT WAS PRICELESS, BUT WE'RE PRETTY SURE THAT THE FOX-LOGO FLEECE VESTS WERE PRICEY ITEMS" EDITION

TO ALL THE COMMENTERS ABOVE AND THE COUPLE OF OTHERS ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR


EIGHT MORE DAYS, PLUS A WEEK OR TWO AFTER THE ELECTION FOR THE POST MORTEMS, AND THEN WE CAN BE DONE WITH BRIAN FOX AND MOVE ON TO PUNISHING LIAM MC CABE THE SAME WAY THAT WE'VE BEEN PUNISHING BOB CAPANO FOR WHAT HE PULLED IN 2020 FOR RATSO VITO BRUNO --- ONLY JOHN Q. WILL GET THE MERE ROUTINE BAD TREATMENT FOR HIS RATHER ROUTINE OFFENSES

As for the New York Post article about the competive down ballot races --- it's obvious that they read our recommendation that the only Brooklyn GOP-Conservative candidate worth any mention or effort is Inna Vernikov.....

The almost complete absence of earned media for Fox since last winter bespeaks what a terrible campaign he has had run for him by Liam McCabe and the rest of the Fox brain trust..... And the almost complete absence of even any comparison pieces for Fox and Brannan clearly demonstrated that the race in the 43rd Counc. Dist. isn't competitive by any measures (except that the Fox campaign did win the war for the "Golden Fleece Award" --- for the " 'Fox' Fleece Vest Fleece" near the end of the campaign).

Can we now say officially that McCabe is Brooklyn' biggest failed consultant and candidiate
