Brian Fox continues his pattern of lying about his opponent Councilman Justin Brannan --- this time Fox lied about the so called "Scheduled Debate" at the Dyker Heights Civic Association --- and Brannan's real reason for taking a pass on it

Fox lied when he said that Brannan had cancelled his appearance at the debate  ---  because he must have "had something better to do".....

Brian Fox compounded that lie when he stated that the date and time had been agreed-to by Brannan  --- AND ---   the debate had been scheduled for "a long time"

The reality was that Brannan's campaign had only agreed to participating in the debate if proper COVID-19 protocols were to be followed for large public gatherings --- including "proof of vacination"  ---  and  ---  both the sponsor of the event and the Brian Fox for City Council campaign refused to agree to the "proof of vaccination" protocol 

[Since the President and Executive Member of the Dyker Heights Civic Association is Fran Vella-Marrone, a supporter and top advisor to the Brian Fox for City Council campaign, the refusal of the campaign's and the association's agreement to the COVID-19 "proof of vaccination" protocol was proof that they were acting in concert  ---  and that neither intended that there actually be a debate  ---  even though both the Fox campaign and Dyker Civic did announce that one had been agreed to and scheduled for last night at 6:30 (or 7:00 PM) ]

Here's how Jaime Dejesus of the Brooklyn/ Bay Ridge Reporter described how it all went down: 

"Democratic City Councilmember Justin Brannan will not debate his Republican challenger Brian Fox at tonight’s meeting of the Dyker Heights Civic Association....  The in-person debate was to take place at 7 p.m. at St. Philip’s Church, 1072 80th St....  Brannan said that during negotiations for the debate, his campaign requested that organizers require proof of vaccination and masks for all in attendance but the request was denied....  'I would love the opportunity to debate my opponent, but cannot agree to do so under terms that put people’s lives at serious risk, all the more so because of my opponent’s proud and vocal opposition to the COVID vaccines,...  My team and I cannot look past the fact that basic health and safety measures during a global pandemic would be ignored at this debate.'...”  (See "Brannan-Fox debate canceled due to COVID-19 protocol disagreement" by Jaime Dejesus, 10-12-2021,  Brooklyn Reporter/ Bay Ridge Home Reporter    [https://brooklynreporter.com/2021/10/brannan-fox-debate-canceled-due-to-covid-19-protocol-disagreement/]).

On the other hand, here's what Fox posted on his campaign's social media in two separate posts on his campaign's Facebook page on Tuesday night at about 9:30 PM:

"Tonight my opponent declined an invitation to debate me, but was able to attend a Democratic club party just a few blocks away from where the debate was held. And to add insult to injury, he is maskless! ... His first priority is not his constituents but political gain...."

And this thing that was so full of mistakes, that we had to add the stuff in bracketts for it to make any sense at all: "... Although he was not there in attendance [at the debate, ] and [Brannan] just [must] have [had] better things to do, all of my fantastic supporters and community leaders were including Assamblyman Peter Abate [sic]...." (Now, let's have a show of hands --- how many people think that Democrat Assmblyman Peter Abbate is actually supporting Brian Fox ?????)

At 2:00 PM yesterday, Fox and his team posted this --- ".... Unfortunately my opponent will not be attending this evening, despite saying initially that he would...." That post accompanied dispalay artwork that contained a claim that was actually >>> subscribed by Brian Fox <<< in his own handwriting.....

Here's some of what Fox said in the display ad and/or flyer, completed by some consultant well before 2:00 PM yesterday afternoon:

These are yet other examples of Fox and his team saying just any old things --- without any thought, any content that is correct or truthful, and/or any context to help provide the true meaning of what Fox and/or his campaign should have said about whatever it is or was that they wanted to use against Brannan.
