FACT CHECK --- Brian Fox gets ten (count 'em [10]) Pinocchios --- for claim that "... millions...went into... Gounardes' pocket"

 

Here's what Fox is saying on his campaign Facebook page:  

---  "Brian Fox for City Council...  Monday, August 1, 2022, at 9:01 PM...  While NYC money-making machines are going to bring in the revenue, let's not forget that American Traffic Solutions Inc. has lobbied and is putting money into the pockets of Councilman Justin Brannan, Comptroller Brad Lander, and State Senator Andrew Gounardes.... Andrew Gounardes failed leadership show’s that he has failed to change the law to make ticket prices increase and put a stop to repeat offenders. Throughout Gounardes’s tenure we have seen millions of dollars going right into his pocket (probably to keep his house in Westchester up to date). What we need is someone that will fight, someone who can not and will not be bought. I make you this promise, as your next State Senator money from lobbyists have no place in my pocket, it belongs to you!... As a member of this beloved community, I have seen many people being affected by Gounardes failed leadership. Now it's time for us to take back our City and State...."
















This all is basically false and misleading ---




X 10




and it rates ten (10) Pinocchios.....


What is not very clear is what Fox is trying to say --- exactly --- and why he is saying it in this very false & mixed up way.....


It looks like Brian Fox is complaining that Andrew Gounardes is getting many more campaign contibutions than Fox is, but Fox knew that he needed to make up lots of phony charges to make it all look even remotely interesting to the rest of us.

  1. This is what happens when you use the "Queen of the Click" as your "oppo" research team. Marlene thinks that the money lobbyists get paid to lobby elected officials is paid to the elected officials and not the lobbyist. We are not dealing with smart people here at any level

  3. Stuff like this ain't getting Fox elected to anything. And that includes both against Gounardes in 2022 and Brannan in 2023.

  6. Fact: this blog wouldn't attack Republicans if they were serious, smart and winning elections. Thus far we haven't seen any evidence of these 3 important items.

  7. Maybe, this blog attacks local Reoublicans in Brooklyn, because they are so worthy of being attacked, they are so often easily attackable, and it is always so much fun to do it.

  8. Say what you wish about Boss Brannan's Falstaffian frame or pursy appearance but the big guy gets things done for Democrats and Republicans both. All local Republicans seem to be good at doing is writing their own epitaph

  12. AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: THE "STANDUP COMIC TRYOUT" EDITION

    SINCE SOME OF THE FOLKS READING THIS BLOG DON'T THINK WE ARE DOING A VERY GOOD JOB REMEMBERING REPUBLICANS, AND POLISHING THEIR IMAGES --- HERE'S A RIDDLE TO HELP US REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN THE GOP AND DEMOCRAT SCREWUPS GENERALLY CANCELLED EACH OTHER OUT.....


    So, for all you sports fans and happy campers --- here's a riddle about the transition of administrations from President Gerald Ford to President Jimmy Carter in the mid-'70s.....

    What mellow oldtime lovesong about a lost love written before WW I was still popular for several crooners in the 30s, 40s and 50s, and was also the much-asked the question about who would do the high level behind-the-scenes diplomatic maneuvering for the incoming President Jimmy Carter ???

    Since this involves a 1909 "Show Tune" --- we won't make you wait for the answer.....

    --- The answer is >>> "I wonder who's Kissinger now !!!"

    This is the latest of his smallish round turds on his campaign Facebook page:

    "Brian Fox for City Council... Wednesday, August 3, 2022 at 11:46 AM... While New York City and State crime pandemic continues on the rise, quality of life is at its lowest, local elected officials failing to protect the rights of their constituents, and failing to protect men and women in law enforcement. It’s important that you are heard and not forgotten!... What top 3 issues are you and your family concerned about right now? Comment below...."

    So --- now --- he wants to be a pollster ?????

    ..... Better, he should be a food taster !!!!!
