Look, I know I said he’s stupid, but Bob “Crooksy” Brooks makes sure to prove it, over and over again. This time is pretty funny. Any halfway normal candidate who is asked about his union endorsing Republicans in the past would have stopped with the “I’m just one vote out of eleven” part and left it there. Deadbeat Bob had to add in that Governor Josh Shapiro asked him to endorse Stacy Garrity for State Treasurer, who now is ironically his opponent for Governor. Crooksy really might be the dumbest SOB in politics.

This is what Josh Shapiro gets for getting this imbecile to run. Shapiro once famously was a part of a backroom deal to make Republican Dennis O’Brien the Speaker of the PA House after the Democrats had won the House 102-101, and in exchange they made up the job of “Deputy Speaker” for him. Now to be fair, the Democratic leader at the time couldn’t hold the whole caucus, so it’s fine, but they should have found a Democrat for the job instead. It’s definitely a concerning pattern, to say the least.

This is also a window into how Bob “Crooksy” Brooks thinks. This was an easy question to deflect for anyone with a functioning brain, but in his reptile brain he felt the need to push the blame to someone else. Deadbeat Bob could have taken the high road and said “we back who we think is best for our members,” or he could have said the part he said about being just one vote, or he could have done this- deflect and make it someone else’s fault. So he literally made a fool of his number one backer, the guy who is the only reason anyone cares who Bob is. The guy is not loyal to anyone. He threw the Governor under the bus to look better, he flipped his endorsement on Lamont McClure, he stiffed his ex-mother-in-law out of money and blames everyone else for that too. Deadbeat Bob is out for Deadbeat Bob. That’s all he’s ever been for, it’s literally how he got his current gig as Fire Fighters President. He’s the kind of “friend” you’ll be found dead if he’s in the fox hole with you, and somehow it’ll be your fault. He’s another John Fetterman.
