Brian Fox is doing what he does best --- making stuff up and pretending to be the hero --- this time it is in order to pull his own fat out of the fire

Here's the latest bit of fake personal history and political pantomime from Brian Fox on his campaign Facebook page:  

"Brian Fox for NYS Senate... Monday, December 19, 2022 at 7:35  PM ...  *OFFICIAL STATEMENT*... 'This was a monumental task to take on running in a district that was very clearly, outlined to benefit my opponent. I was asked to run for this specific seat by my party leaders after the original candidate withdrew from the race.... Rather then [sic] letting Senator Andrew Gounardes run unopposed, I decided to fill the void and continue to pushback against progessive leadership that has all made us less safe.... I do not regret running, as my platform and message is [sic]* something that has been recognized by many and supported heavily by the wonderful people in my community. I will not yield despite the odds, my intent is to continue to be a community advocate, continue my responsibilities as the Chairman of the Verrazano Republicans Club, Co-Founder of the South Brooklyn Coalition to Save Small Businesses and fulfill my newly elected position as a County Committee member for the Brooklyn GOP.... I will wait to see how things play out before making a definitive decision as to whether I'll run for public office in the near future. What I do know is that my community deserves better leadership and if an opportunity presents itself, I plan on delivering that to South Brooklyn. '... Brian Fox"

* This post by Brian Fox is just full of [sic] stuff  ---  we stopped after  noting just two of them

WOW !!!   AN  "*OFFICIAL STATEMENT*"   

[[[ Can anybody out there tell the rest of us by what measure of officiating in officialdom this Brian Fox Facebook posting constitutes an "*Official Statement*" ???  Of course, if Brian had made a simple mistake and wrote "official" instead of "officious"  ---  then we would have to admit that he would have gotten it 100% right, if he hadn't gotten it 100% wrong the way that he did post it.]]]

 

To fully disambiguate what this Brian Fox "*OFFICIAL STATEMENT*" really means, and have a fuller insight into the man, one has to read and fully grasp the following: 

Narcissistic Personality Disorder...  DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria...    

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by 5 (or more) of the following:

- Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g. - exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

1. - Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
2. - Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
3. - Requires excessive admiration
4. - Has a sense of entitlement (i.e. - unreasonable expectations of especially favourable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations)
5. - Is interpersonally exploitative (i.e. - takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends)
6. - Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
7. - Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
8. - Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.

10. Now you can read Brian Fox's "*Official Statement*" one more time with some real insight into the man, what he says, and why he says it.....
