JUST GOT THIS IN MY EMAIL TODAY FROM CONCERNED CITIZENS OF BUCKS COUNTY'S PA-01 DISTRICT, AND HAD TO SHARE. APPARENTLY, BRIAN AND HIS CREW THINK IT'S OK TO BULLY AND INTIMIDATE NOT JUST THOSE WHO OPPOSE HIM, BUT ANYONE WHO DARES TO SUPPORT HIS OPPOSITION. THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM THE PERSON IT HAPPENED TO, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS SPEAK TO THIS PERSON!
Peggy Boudin, a female volunteer for the Meehan Campaign, made the following statement:
On Saturday, February 15th, Matt Gruda, a paid Fitzpatrick campaign staffer, repeatedly harassed and intimidated me while I was attempting to collect ballot petition signatures in Bensalem, PA. He did not engage in this bullying, aggressive behavior towards any of our male volunteers, or to me when I was standing with male volunteers. Matt Gruda only came after me when I was alone.
I believe he was targeting me because I’m a senior citizen and because I’m a woman. His behavior was not only intimidating to me, but also to the female voters I was speaking to, one of whom was only comfortable signing the Meehan petition after Matt Gruda left.
Andy Meehan made the following statement:
Brian Fitzpatrick has repeatedly refused to engage me personally on issues. Instead, Congressman Fitzpatrick continues to hide behind campaign surrogates and media allies who try to smear me personally. While this is unfortunate, I understood what I was getting into when I decided to run against Nancy Pelosi’s favorite Republican.
However, his campaign aide’s harassment of my volunteer crosses a line.
My direct message to Brian Fitzpatrick: Back off. I will not tolerate sexist intimidation and bullying of my volunteers or of voters trying to sign my petitions.
Brian — it’s time to stop hiding and give the voters of Pennsylvania’s First Congressional District the fair and open debate they deserve.
NOW I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN BRIAN TO BE A SWAMP RAT, WHO CATERS TO THE LEFT, (IN PARTICULAR THE LGBTQ MAFIA!), SMEARS AND BULLIES HIS OPPOSITION WITH OUTRIGHT LIES, BUT TO HAVE SOMEONE ON HIS CAMPAIGN DO THIS TO SOMEONE WHO IS MERELY ATTEMPTING TO GET CAMPAIGN SIGNATURES FOR MR, MEEHAN?? THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY NEW LOW!! I ECHO MR. MEEHAN'S WORDS OF REBUKE TO BRIAN, AND CHALLENGE HIM TO PUBLICLY AND HONORABLY DEBATE ANDY MEEHAN! MOST OF ALL, I CHALLENGE HIM TO APOLOGIZE FOR THIS DISGUSTING, SEXIST, AND OUTRIGHT ABOMINABLE ACT OF BULLYING BY MR. GRUDA, AND FOR MR, GRUDA TO PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE TOO!! 😡
