@EEHELI@PA_Spotlight More concerning Chaikin. The PAC didn't do a great job vetting their endorsed candidates. All they had to do was to pledge to be in favor of reopening schools to full in-person teaching. Come one, come all.
@EEHELI@PA_Spotlight Again, Chaikin here with Batycki and Blomgren: These 3 anti-masking protesters are the PAC's endorsed candidates for Pennridge. With the vaccine widely available now, masking rules are relaxing. This wasn't the case when this photo was taken.
@EEHELI@PA_Spotlight Not everyone they endorse is a Q-believing candidate, tho enough to be of concern how they got through the vetting process (if there was one). And when you start digging into some of their other endorsed candidates, a fair amount of other far right extremism problems surface.

This is the full roster of candidates for #Pennridge school board — you can see some have “cross-filed” which means they are on both Dem & GOP ballots for the May 18 election. Many of them *have* submitted their profiles to nonpartisan @LWV 👍 (but not all😕)
Noting here that the first 4 candidates (listed alphabetically) are also all endorsed by extremist right #KKISpac, and all only filed on the Republican slate for #Pennridge school board.
Chaikin running for #Pennridge has nothing to say to nonpartisan League of Women Voters as Pennridge district residents prepare to vote. But she has plenty to say in fringe forums.
"By entering your name & address, you can see the unedited responses of just those candidates who will be on your ballot. You can do a side-by-side comparison of the candidates, decide which 1 best represents your views. You can print out your choices to take w you to the polls"
"In a primary election, candidates for school board, county judicial courts and district magistrate courts can cross-file which means that they can run in both the Republican and Democratic primary races."
🚨This new SEPA-wide #KKISpac has endorsed these extremist right candidates for the #Pennridge#SchoolBoard election on May 18. How extreme are they? .... 1/
At least one #KKISpac's #Pennridge school board nominees is a QAnon supporter.
"a previously unpublished FBI bulletin from May 30 says that for the first time the agency is labelling “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists” as a growing threat."
Chaikin, Batycki and Blomgren are all #KKISpac "endorsed" candidates for the #Pennridge School Board election May 18; here⬇️they are crazily flouting masking rules *inside a grocery store*-- because: why?😳
Dangerous, rude, unhinged, selfish behavior 3/
Walk down 2019 memory lane in #PA01. This was back when @RepBrianFitz was supporting #ProudBoys leader EnriqueTarrio's plea to crackdown on antifa as a "domestic terrorist organization": Tarrio had failed online petition; Fitzpatrick SENT A LETTER ADDRESSED TO ROGUE AG BILL BARR
This👇🏾 letter that #FakeModerate#PA01@RepBrianFitz sent to BillBarr on July 17, 2019 (just weeks before #ProudBoys leader Enrique Tarrio's antifa petition failed), keeping hope alive for ProudBoys everywhere to live &fight another day!
At the time #PA01's @RepBrianFitz *proudly* released his antifa attack letter to AG Barr, far right hack @SenTedCruz was also making his attack via the Senate through hopeless legislative bill. Here, Cruz doing promo w #ProudBoys Tarrio
Former FBI @RepBrianFitz is a #TrumpEnabler & part of the "militant wing of the Republican Party" who attracted #ProudBoys to rally outside his #PA01 office last Dec.
He gifted #WhiteNationalists with an official letter to BillBarr/DoJ in 2019 demanding a crackdown on antifa.
Top Trump/@RepBrianFitz donor 💰 Jim Worthington & Dean Malik, along with Proud Boy Zach (+ other unnamed Proud Boys) were all together at the proTrump counter-protest to impeachment outside Fitzpatrick's #PA01 office, Dec 2019.
🦠There was a recent article about Charlie Kirk's TPUSA paying teens 💵 to post his messaging on social media.
In #PA01, there is a TPUSA chapter in @PennridgeSD. Some of this TPUSA club's postings parrots Charlie Kirk on #COVID19 disinformation (threading more below, shortly)
TPUSA has a proTrump affiliate @/TrumpStudents which is why there are close ties between the Trump family & Charlie Kirk. Here, an effort to downplay COVID19 by casting doubt on infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci in order to elevate Trump. #PA01
And again. @PennridgeHS's TPUSA chapter. Discrediting science, spreading doubt and fear about #COVID19 in #PA01. At the behest of Charlie Kirk and Trump.
