28-Year-Old Trump Fan Excoriated by Local Press
The Santa Barbara Independent took Republican Trump fan Justin Fareed to task today for continuing to dodge legitimate questions about his time in disgraced Congressman Ed Whitfield’s office and for ditching a debate with the paper.
Fareed likes to boast about his time in Whitfield’s Washington DC office to pad his slim resume, but now Fareed is running away from questions about his potential role in the House Ethics Committee investigation that caused Whitfield to step down.
The Independent chronicles their efforts to interview Fareed, but the reporter was told the ethics investigation “wasn’t something Justin would talk about until after the election.”

Fareed also withdrew from a debate set for earlier this month and still hasn’t answered questions about other ethics problems, including a lack of transparency in his personal financial disclosure forms and questionable fundraising practices.
“Republican Justin Fareed thinks the rules don’t apply to him, just like his presidential pick Donald Trump,” said Barb Solish of the DCCC. “Central Coast voters deserve transparency and respect. What is Justin Fareed hiding?”
