Show of hands --- who among Brooklyn Republicans believes that the City Councilman elected as a Democrat, Ari Kagan's, conversion on the Road to Damascus is real ?
--- Who thinks it is rank opportunism by the former Democrat District Leader ???
--- Who thinks it was a move made in desperation by a notorious Democrat desperado, who was a top staffer to Mark Treyger before being elected as Treyger's Democrat successor on the City Council ?????
To help you answer --- here is a picture of Ari Kagan not so long ago >>> TOGETHER WITH JUSTIN BRANNAN --- while BOTH WERE SUPPORTING ANDREW GOUNARDES for the NY State Senate <<<
Yes, and don't forget that there was the time --- again, not so long ago --- when Ari Kagan was such a strong supporter of the movement to "defund the police" that he openly recounted and defended his part in the budget process which moved NYPD funds to another NYC department --- and he even felt so strongly about it, he bragged about having done so during both his Democrat Primary and General Election campaigns during 2021, when he was elected to be the City Councilman for the 47th Council District as a Democrat
So which is it ?????
--- A true conversion.....
--- Rank opportunism.....
OR
Desperation.....
Every single person that can read English knows why he flipped, there was no way he would win a primary against Brannan. The sad thing is that he’s flip flopping like he did throughout his short career in the council. Less than a week after his sex change he mentioned that he made a mistake and endorsed Frontus over ABK. He’s openly endorsing Zhuang for the 43rd, he’s claiming that he’s that Chang, Vernikov, Maliotakis, Ghorra, ABK, Novakhov and the rest of the elites have endorsed his candidacy under the table. This guy is as desperate as they get. Hopefully the Brooklyn voters will not sign the petitions and we get to see him go bye bye, gulag style.
ReplyDeleteHow come several of those 'elites' are so often being seen at many events embracing GOP Council candidates like Anna Belfiore-Delfaus?
ReplyDeleteAri has also been seen taking photos with the same people who are openly supporting Anna Belfiore-Delfaus. Its a smoke show. NYPD Ret Chief Fox and Councilwoman Vernikov openly endorse Anna. If Fox endorses someone you know the NYPD support will come with it. Vernikov will end up being Majority leader and lets not forget former US Congressman Peter King has ties to Anna.
DeleteI googled every road in Brooklyn and no road named Damacus.
ReplyDeleteBrannan did better in Bay Ridge vs. Fox than he did against Quaglione in 2017. He keeps doing better in Bay Ridge. He can't be beat. Not this year
ReplyDeleteWhy are the grifters Liam &Jen running Ari’s campaign when Ghora couldve hired that couple that ran Cape Cod Vito campaign. If they can run him, they can run Ari Kagan!!!! Or are there paybacks to Ted to help finance his rug collection?????
ReplyDeleteTed needs the same prescription as the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, because he is only acting as Jerry Kassar's strawman as County Leader of the Brooklyn GOP and Ted doesn't have a brain.
ReplyDeleteEven though the whole Ari Kagan thing was a three person deal dropped on the rest of the Republicans and Conservatives by Kassar, Ghorra and Kagan, one of the first things Kagan started talking about was becoming a Republican District Leader and then County Chairman in very short order.
Thanks to some adamant opposition to Kagan by several Brooklyn GOP executive members, so far, the Brooklyn Republican Party has voted "No Edorsement" for Kagan.
2:49 am comment is obvious from one or both the incompetent grifters who ran Vito Labellas campaign right in the ground smells like desperation
ReplyDeleteLet the Lucretea lady run it. She ran Alex’s campaign. Don’t care!!! Anyone but Liam.
DeleteWhy does Brian Fox keep posting material about Justin Brannan that has nothing to do with anything that Justin Brannan did?
ReplyDeleteFox's latest demonstration on social media showing that Brian can only parrot words, but has no understanding what they mean, is his recent post on his Facebook State Senate campaign site. What Fox said is this: "Evident and clear corruption coming out the local Democratic camp including Adrienne Adams, Bay Ridge's own sweetheart Councilman Justin Brannan and others named in this New York Post article. Furthermore, Jonathan Yedin was Justin's former Deputy Chief of Staff!!! [with link to a New York Post article by Carl Campanile]."
The only problem is that the writer of the New York Post article, Carl Campanile, didn't say anything like what Brian Fox said in his Facebook posting. The NY Post article does not mention any "evident and clear corruption coming out of the local Democratic Camp" nor does it include "Bay Ridge's own sweetheart Councilman Justin Brannan" as being involved in any such "evident and clear corrption." In fact, Campanile's article clearly states why what was done by somebody named "Jonathan Yedin" was not a conflict of interest nor a violation of any ethics rules that applied to Yedin. And since Yedin didn't commit anything that was "evident and clear corruption"; how could any of the other people that Fox libeled with his posting on Facebook be guilty for something that Yedin did that was not "evident and clear corruption"?
Also, Fox is a complete and absolute hypocrtie by posting what he did. If what Yedin did is something constituting "evident and clear corruption" and those associated with Yedin are thereby implicated >>> then Brian Fox is as guilty as Justin Brannan --- because Liam McCabe also works for NYC and does the same kind of political consulting as Yedin, and McCabe does it in the very same way.
Here is the fact...whoever nick backs wins the GOP primary for council..Gale needs to give Chamberas the respect he deserves.
ReplyDeleteGail, this message from Fox is just too typical of his material in so many ways: "... Evident and clear corruption coming out the local Democratic camp including Adrienne Adams, Bay Ridge's own sweetheart Councilman Justin Brannan and others named in this New York Post article. Furthermore, Jonathan Yedin was Justin's former Deputy Chief of Staff!!!...."
ReplyDeleteWhat does "... coming out the local Democratic camp including Adrienne Adams, Bay Ridge's own sweetheart Councilman Justin Brannan and others named in this New York Post article..." even mean? Why does Fox include Adrienne Adams as part of whatever "local Democrat camp" he's talking about? Adams is from South Queens and she represents South Queens, she also is the City Council Speaker for the whole City of New York.
BTW. your also right about Fox being a parrot. Now he's doing it, because he's being paid to do it by Ari Kagan as part of the Liam McCabe grift operation. Doesn't that sound like a real example of evident and clear corruption coming out of the local Republican camp including Ari Kagan, who is nobody's sweetheart, but supported Adrienne Adams until he turned on her and his Democrat Party, and who made his own deals with Jonathan Yedin and wanted to do more with him.
