The MYTH of Fetterman and Braddock Crime

Washington, D.C. – While on the campaign trail, Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman claims he was “very successful” in reducing crime when he was mayor of Braddock, PA. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, according to publicly available data, crime SKYROCKETED in Braddock while Fetterman was mayor. And, in 2019, the first year in over a decade that Fetterman was not mayor, Braddock’s crime rate dropped by 61 percent.

Fetterman brags like Braddock is some major city. The last census has about 1900 people living there. There are several High Schools in my area that have greater populations! I live in Warrington TOWNSHIP PA with a population of 24,000. Adjoining Warminster Township has 32,000. The closest place nearby to a city is Doylestown. It has over 8,000 people and is considered a Borough.

Being Mayor of Braddock doesn't compare to running the WWAA(Warrington/Warwick Athletic Association) Little League which had over 2000 players! Being mayor of Braddock was so inconsequential it is considered a PART TIME job paying just $150.

Enough of the Braddock MYTH already.

Nice informative post.

So then Fetterwoman was right. He successfully reduced crime in Braddock by leaving the mayorship.

Thanks for the laugh.

Fetterman is an absolute phony. Claims to be for the “working man”, but he’s got nothing in common with the “working man”.

Fetterman claimed that he would revitalize Braddock, and turn it into another Lawrenceville. Lawrenceville‘s economic fortunes turned around drastically thanks to a new hospital and Google building.

He failed utterly. That point needs to be brought up over and over and over.

The fact that the GOP does not have a rapid response team with these issues, and could plaster tv ads up is just PATHETIC! On both the GOV and Senatorial side!!
It’s like they want to lose!

Let’s not forget, when Fetterman was mayor of Braddock, he held an innocent black man at gun point. Fetterman directly contributed to crime in Braddock, but a lot of crime went unreported and was not prosecuted. It’s the same in every Democrat town and city.

Depends on what your definition of crime is....

He reduced crome by apparently committing one himself.
