Justin Brannan Was Caught Playing Both Sides. Brannan Was Ousted By the Italian Caucus
The NY Post and Channel 1 News shared that Councilman Justin Brannan was ousted from the Italian Caucus of NYC Council. (News)
The members of the Italian Caucus agreed to support Columbus Day. While Brannan’s name still remains on their website (here), his name was not included in NYC Council’s celebration this week:
Brannan’s name was not on NYC Council’s celebration.
In 2023, Councilman Brannan signed a letter to preserve Columbus Day. (See here) Brannan agreed to be the grand marshal of the Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade in 2023 – the parade was cancelled due to rain. (Source)
When Justin Brannan changed his feelings towards this issue, he should have sent a letter to the Italian Caucus and politely said he no longer holds the same beliefs.
When the news came out about the ousting, Brannan should have made a bold statement on social media, but Justin cried about Bob Holden’s age instead.
Brannan lashed out at Bob Holden for being old because he couldn’t call Holden a MAGA (he’s a Democrat). Bob Holden is 73 years old and a decent politician. Justin Brannan exaggerated with the term octogenarian to insult Holden (rather than calling him a septuagenarian)
Someone’s age should not be something to mock….especially not by a politician who got caught playing both sides.
Today was Brooklyn’s Columbus Day Parade and Justin Brannan was there. #PlayingPolitics
In 2021, Justin Brannan’s shared this on Columbus Day:
