The goonishly malevolent, Uncle Fester-ish John Fetterman, Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, is shaping up to be even more of a real PEACH, as more questionable escapades of his roll out into wider public view. How on earth did he ever get elected Lt.Gov. with all this trash baggage, less mind stay alive as a serious contender for a Senate seat?

In 2010:

A mayor in one Pennsylvania community has been caught red-handed in one the biggest sign-scandals to hit the area in recent memory.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Braddock Mayor John Fetterman was caught on videotape altering a business’ marquee letter sign to post a different message. At a recent borough council meeting, attendees were shown a video of Fetterman changing Club 804’s sign from “Opening Soon Under New Management” to “Closed Not Opening Soon.”

The current owner of the club, Assim Chaudhry, said that the mayor’s behavior was unacceptable and that residents should be appalled by it.

“This is the mayor. This is who you guys have running this town,” said Mr. Chaudhry during the meeting, according to the news source.

How was the mayor “caught”? Dead to rights on video.

The big, brave social crusader skulked in under cover of night, wearing dark clothing like a D.C. pipe bomb delivery boy/girl, and played switcheroo with the letters to read ‘Closed Not Opening Soon.’ Pfft. Some courageous hero.

Two years later he went after another club, but it looks like he left their signage alone.

Braddock Mayor John Fetterman says there’s nothing elegant about Club Elegance in his borough’s commercial district, and that’s why he wants to see it shut down.

“They’ve got the trifecta. They’ve got drugs, guns and now adult entertainment,” said Fetterman.

Fetterman the crusading hypocrite sure didn’t mind “the drugs, guns” when he courted Crips gang members in an effort to “attract youth voters’ to his campaign. Funny how that works with Democrats.

As a mayoral candidate in 2005, Senate hopeful John Fetterman adopted a unique tactic to appeal to the youth of Braddock, Pa.: tout the borough’s connections to the notorious Crips street gang. After his election, he downplayed the gang’s prevalence in his town, and attributed some of their gang activity to the acts of “disenfranchised” and “disenchanted” youth.

During his first mayoral run in 2005, Fetterman adopted the slogan “Vote John Mayor of Braddocc,” a nod to the spelling that local Crips gang members used for the town. After he was elected, Fetterman created the website Braddocc.com as part of a revitalization project to appeal to young people in the dilapidated steel town. The now-defunct website, which Fetterman launched with his own money, explains that “Braddocc” was “unofficially renamed” by the “young and disenfranchised for its Crip allegiance.” The Justice Department considers the Crips, founded in southern California in the 1970s, to be one of the country’s most violent street gangs.

…Fetterman has denied that he glorifies the Crips or gang culture, though he has acknowledged that his embrace of the “Braddocc” nickname helped him in his 2005 campaign by attracting younger voters.

“Ultimately I carry their flag, because they’re the ones that made the difference that I won by one vote that first election,” he said in 2015. “It’s not a glorification of gang violence, or embracing gang violence,” he added of the “Braddocc” moniker, noting that he “caught some flak … because some people thought I was spelling it like a gangster.”

You “carried their flag” but “caught some flak” because “people THOUGHT” you were embracing gang violence? Ya THINK, buddy? Holy smokes. Paying for street signs that hector residents to eat vegetables doesn’t begin to make up for that.

Back as far as May of this year, during the primary, liberal journalist Magdi Semrau was pointing to the plain-as-the-nose-on-your-face racial problems with Fetterman… and yet he still beat Connor Lamb.

It’s beyond foolish to forget we only have a shot at PA without high Black turnout. I would like white Dems to ask themselves how they would feel knocking on doors in Philly & saying, “You gotta get out to vote for this guy even though he held a Black man at gunpoint. Sorry!

Before news of the sign vandalism reemerged, Fetterman was already in hot water for a remarkably rude TikTok campaign ad, with a more cartoonish Fetterman attacking a black stick figure. The campaign is nothing but fart jokes, bluster, and bigotry.

Trafalgar has the race tight, tight, tight.

If more of this cretin’s behavior makes it to the general public and Mehmet Oz keeps making favorable inroads with his hands-on voter outreach, that Black turn-out they are so desperately counting on to pull this loathsome sack of rags over the finish line may not show up.
