I hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day. Apparently Bob “Crooksy” Brooks was doing something fun. The self-proclaimed “working class hero” apparently didn’t have time to show up to the Lehigh Valley Labor Council Labor Day Picnic on Sunday, despite his big labor endorsements from his own union and the SEIU. Was he off campaigning with State Legislators from other parts of the state? Was he off campaigning with lifelong deadbeat Bernie Sanders in some other state? Was Crooksy stiffing his ex-mother-in-law for even more money? Maybe he was on the internet posting memes from the 3%’ers arguing for arming everyone and making kids pray in schools again? Maybe he was off stealing someone else’s landscaping business? I’m not sure. To hear some folks tell it, he never was much for doing the work. I don’t know why anyone is shocked that this guy already doesn’t really want to campaign.

This guy, who fashions himself a big labor leader, and is banking on essentially usurping the labor support of other candidates, didn’t even want to go hang out with the union people. Sure, he raised a decent amount (less than Crosswell) on his launch, but that was pushed to him by DCCC employees and Deadbeat Bernie’s friends. This guy has no idea what it takes to campaign and win a seat. This fire is too big for Crooksy, and he will prove that to you, again and again.
