I’m not really shocked anymore. Bob “Crooksy” Brooks has nothing to talk about. The guy doesn’t pay his debts. The guy believes right-wing radical positions. He’s a racist. He hates Barack Obama. He holds odd views about political violence. So he just repeats Josh Shapiro, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg on a loop. He has no issues on which he’s campaigning, just vague “working class values.” He’s basically John Fetterman, but Josh Shapiro likes this version.

The heat is on Crooksy and his team, and maybe it’s a bit too much. His campaign is calling up people who support other candidates publicly and trying to make them listen to why they’re wrong. Since it wasn’t me, I won’t describe it as attempts at intimidation, but that was certainly my experience with them. One of their wannabe thug endorsers tried to get in my face about writing about their organization on here. When I asked her if I was wrong in what I wrote, all she could reply was “it’s not exactly how it went.” Of course she was probably drunk, which is fine and all, but I found it hilarious she thought she’d intimidate me. Lady, I’ve been to the brink of death, do you think I care?

Then there was the missed interview with Lehigh Valley News. Look, I’ll be fair to the staff people on the race here, every campaign makes some scheduling mistakes and forgets some stuff. Crooksy may have just honestly messed up. Or, he’s hiding away now. According to the commenters he skipped the ROAR candidate forum in Bethlehem. A person who was supposed to be a moderator for the Blue Ridge debate reports that “it sounds like Brooks is pulling out of it.” No shock. Let the commercials talk for them, because the candidate isn’t up to complicated answers. He pulled his shirt up over his face when asked about aid to Israel at one event last year.

Then there was his latest mailer, which sums up his campaign better than anything- zero substance and some endorsements from people using him. Bob is just going to DC for a good time and his endorsers just want him to go so it helps them. Kind of simple.

This guy is a zero. I’d take any of the others first. At least they didn’t stiff family.
