A video clip resurfaced Monday showing Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman (D), who at the time of the clip was mayor of Braddock, vandalizing a sign belonging to a local business back in 2010.
The then-owner of Club 804, Assim Chaudhry, and someone who was interested in buying the club at the time, Cordell Collins, showed up to a local city council meeting with a laptop where they then played a video showing Fetterman vandalizing the sign, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported in 2010.
Video showed Fetterman changing the sign from saying, “Opening Soon Under New Management” to “Closed Not Opening Soon.”
“This is the mayor,” Chaudhry said at the city council meeting. “This is who you guys have running this town.”
Fetterman didn’t hide the fact that he did it as he bragged about it to a local news station saying that vandalizing the sign was his way of putting the club on notice that he was going to try to shut them down.

The black jogger incident sounds bad, and I wouldnt want something like that to happen to any of my friends, whatever their color.
As to the nightclub, two things.
One, I believe it was an Indian owned business, and in any event, the GOP buys into the same identity politics that it slams at the peril of sounding hypocritical.
Two, the thing about having Oz in the race is that anything anyone throws at Fetterman had better be worse than being a snake oil salesman. You probably aren’t going to take out Fetterman by hitting him with anything that can be construed as a lesser evil, because this is a race of lesser evils. Anyone who wins will be the lesser of two evils.
Presumably, this was a nightclub that operated 7 days a week in a very small town and undoubtedly it made a nuisance of itself. There won’t be a lot of public sympathy for such a thing because far too much bad behavior that is detrimental to communities is protected by the law.
The way I see it, this could be a net plus for Fetterman, so why should his opponent spend money advertising that?
bannergate?
If a Republican did that 24/7 news... Fetterman, sorry not news...
This was all we heard about this guy in the news, his pissing war with the state legislature over virtue signalling flags.
I mean, we have such a profound lack of virtue signalling signage around here, it’s a real problem </sarc>
Wrong.
It’s very clear to everyone else.
