Real Dirty Trick is the New York Post spin on a story obviously fed by dirty tricksters associated with Kassar and Kagan --- in an attempt to stymie a real grassroots campaign to write in Republican Kathy Khatari's name for City Council in the 47th Council District

 

Interestingly, both Kassar and Kagan are both quoted prominently in the NY Post article  ---  "De Blasio aide emerges as dirty trickster in south Brooklyn city council race"  >>>  an indicator that they are the likely source of the article  ---  and possibly the real dirty tricksters behind it all

NOTE: IN SPITE OF INNUENDO AND SLEIGHT-OF-THE-HAND TRICKS TO MAKE IT SEEM SO  >>>  NOTHING IN THE NY POST ARTICLE CONNECTS THIS "DIRTY TRICK" TO BRANNAN OR HIS CAMPAIGN IN ANY WAY

Make no mistake, weeks ago, it was this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island that had predicted that there would be a revival of the Kathy Khatari write-in campaign much closer to the election  ---  and we had no knowledge then that anybody named "Jon Paul Lupo" had been or would be involved in it  >>>  in fact, our sources about that tactic and plan were all anti-Kagan, anti-Golden, and anti- Ghorra and Kassar Republicans.....

According to the NY Post coverage  >>> "A former top aide to ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio has emerged as a key figure pulling political tricks in the final days of the heated race pitting Brooklyn Council member Justin Brannan against  Ari Kagan....  A group called Verrazano Victory Alliance has sent a text to registered Republican voters urging them to vote for a write-in candidate, Republican Katherine Khatari, instead of GOP nominee Kagan, in a bid to split the GOP vote and aid Democrat Brannan in Tuesday’s election....  Verrazano Victory Alliance, an independently run pro-Brannan political action committee, was created by Jon Paul Lupo, a pal of Brannan and top aide to former Mayor Bill de Blasio who helped the former mayor’s ill-fated campaign for president...."  (See "De Blasio aide emerges as dirty trickster in south Brooklyn city council race" by

Nothing could be more inaccurate, incomplete, and deceptive.....

This is lazy NY Post-style journalism at its worst  ---  ie.,  of printing a canned story without really digging into the real soure of the real facts driving that story.

Here are the real facts  >>>  Kathy Khatari has been especially active in the final days of the campaign and there is a write-in campaign afoot to write her name in as the only real Republican running in the 47th Council District.

And because of all that, we here at this INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND do urge all real Republicans and conservatives in the 47th Council District to heed this message recently quoted by the NY Post:

"Remember to write in Katherine Khatari for City Council on Tuesday, November 7th. We need a pro-Trump Republican to fight back against the radical left, not a Democrat in disguise like Ari Kagan...."
