Pennsylvania Democrats Protested Trump-Fitzpatrick Ticket
Ahead of the DNC Convention, the PA Democratic Party and local Bucks County Democrats led a demonstration Saturday outside of PA-08 Republican nominee Brian Fitzpatrick’s “ice cream social” in Levittown.
With chants like “Hey, hey, ho, ho, why is Brian lying low?” protestors called out Brian Fitzpatrick for continuously refusing to answer questions about his support for Donald Trump and literally ducking cameras when caught in a truck adorned with a Donald Trump sign.
Brian Fitzpatrick initially pledged to support whoever won the 8th district Republican primary, though ever since has been less than forthright about his support for Trump. Brian has, however, embraced reckless Trump-esque policies like defunding Planned Parenthood, building a wall on the Mexican border, and questioning the science behind climate change.
“Brian Fitzpatrick pledged to support Donald Trump and has been embracing his policies, so why does he keep ducking Trump?” said Jermaine House of the DCCC. “Brian Fitzpatrick’s dodging is a desperate – but futile – attempt to avoid the damaging reality: voters in Pennsylvania will see no daylight between him and the offensive Donald Trump in November.”
Fitzpatrick remained under a tent for the event, except for a few brief seconds when he emerged, glanced at the protest, and quickly retreated back into the tent.
