[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Sully" is running around talking about how MS-13 is "taking over" the county. This is a blatant racist dog whistle intended to appeal to racist voters. He has no earthly idea what MS-13 is, where it operates and what other gangs operate in the county. He is also clearly distracting from the fact that the rise in gun violence is not just tied to overall crime increases that are happening everywhere but also to the rise of ghost guns. He DGAF about that.

I find this very troubling. Now I’m wondering what his real agenda is — since these kinds of comments suggest that he has goals that might go way beyond the upcoming election .  OP [/quote]

Can you guys cite anything about this?  I feel like there’s one poster who keeps bringing up this MS-13 claim, but I don’t see where it’s coming from. [/quote]

Thanks for questioning this. I’m here venting about a candidate that I know little about— in part because of his party affiliation. I don’t have any information beyond the concern that I Originally posted. [/quote]

So I did find a quote where he claimed MS-13 was “taking over” Gaithersburg. Maybe that’s what the pp keeps referencing. (To be fair there has been quite a bit of reportedly MS-13 related crime in Gaithersburg). [/quote]

He claimed people are afraid to leave their homes, they are not. Btw if you are sitting at home whining on DCUM that you don't know anything about Reardon Sullivan when you haven't even bothered to read the Bethesda Beat articles about him, you are not an informed voter and should probably just not vote in this race.[/quote]

Lol Since when did reading the Bethesda Beat become the only hallmark of being “an informed voter”?

So you are saying this person is better off getting their info from DCUM and then acting confused when people reference what the actual press has reported?[/quote]

Nope. I’m saying that people should —and usually do — get information from multiple sources, and that if someone recommends ONE source of information, I’m surprised that they would choose Bethesda Beat. It’s a big county. Not everyone is Bethesda-centric in their interests and reading materials.  There’s a lot of “actual press” out there. Why pick only the Bethesda Beat?

[/quote]

Because they've done a fair amount of reporting on Reardon Sullivan? Most people on these boards could not tell you what he is campaigning for.[/quote]

That’s good to know. I still maintain though, that denigrating a voter who might live in Gaithersburg or Wheaton or Rockville— somewhere other than Bethesda …. solely because they “haven’t bothered to read Bethesda Beat” and is therefore “not an informed voter” who “should probably just not vote in this race” is an unfortunately limited viewpoint.
