Philadelphia Inquirer Reports on Video of Ducking-Brian, Ducking From Cameras While Riding in Trump-Mobile
For months Ducking-Brian (also known as Brian Fitzpatrick) has been ducking questions on Donald Trump. Now watch video of Ducking-Brian actually ducking from cameras while riding in the Trump-mobile. And listen to audio of Ducking-Brian blatantly ignoring a concerned citizen who simply wants to know more about the unknown Brian Fitzpatrick and his thoughts on the Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump. This is despite the fact that Fitzpatrick pledged to support whoever won the 8th district in a debate in April.
“Ducking-Brian is ducking media requests, cameras, and concerned citizens who simply want to know more about him and his positions on the offensive Republican leader Donald Trump,” said Jermaine House of DCCC. “It’s pretty clear that after moving 3,000 miles from California, Ducking-Brian plans to rely exclusively on his last name to sweep him into office, but this awkward ducking routine looks silly for a former FBI agent who wants become a Congressman.”
Read selected highlights from Philadelphia Inquirer’s Pat Meehan, Brian Fitzpatrick edge toward Trump by Johnathan Tamari:
- Fitzpatrick, making his first-ever run for public office and hoping to replace his brother, Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, who is retiring, has until now avoided saying much about Trump. Aides did not respond to three requests from The Inquirer, dating back to May, asking whether he would endorse the New Yorker. But on Friday came a 333-word statement that offered some praise for Trump without firmly picking sides.
- Democrats have harried Fitzpatrick over Trump, eager to link him to the nominee as he runs in a moderate swing district. They recently circulated video of Fitzpatrick at a July 4 parade, appearing to hide his face from a Democratic tracker as he rode in a pickup that had a Trump flag in the back.
