🚨🚨🚨 Let's talk about BrooklynDad

A 🧵🧵🧵

INTRO:

"Brooklyn Dad" @mmpadellan is a controversial left wing social media influencer who boasts a large (currently 1.2M) users known to post divisive Tweets typically mocking Trump. He also has several streams of income including… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
WHERE DID HE COME FROM?

It's hard to find out much of his backstory on how he became a spokesperson. It is however become common knowledge that before he was Tweeting in support of the Democratic party, his prior Twitter existence revolved around evading child support… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
GRIFTER?

Ok here we go. BDD claims to be a "Senior Analyst" for the Really American PAC which is run by Justin Horwitz. ImageImage
He often uses any type of event or tragedy to plug this PAC any chance he gets. ImageImage
While he denies being a paid shill for the DNC, the NY Post shared an article re: his grifting also it was discovered that he HAS received funds from this PAC for his social media efforts.

In the time since, the records do not reflect that he has been getting paid by them, but… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
HOW DID HE BECOME SO POPULAR?

It begs the question, how he became so popular? I found this interesting video on YouTube, which explains how accounts like BDD were boosted by an algorithm on Twitter (pre-Elon) with controversial Tweets in an attempt for Twitter engagement.

This… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
VISITS TO WHITE HOUSE:

He has also been to the White House with the other shills (and JoJo), kind of suspicious for someone who doesn't shill for the DNC. However, the White House is now focusing on GenZ. People like JoJo and BDD are now aged out of their target range, so I… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
STREAMS OF INCOME:

Other than whatever he gets paid to Tweet, BDD has multiple sources of income. I'll share what I found here. Among them is merchandise, book sales, $$ from YouTube streaming, Patreon, and also straight up asking for donations.

The first, merchandise. He often… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
MORE INCOME:

He also authored a book (with interesting reviews on amazon) ImageImage
PRIOR DRUG USE:

It is no secret that BDD had an addiction to crack-cocaine. He admits to this in his own blog. It was so bad at one point, he even sold off his kids' toys and the family's air conditioner during a heat wave to fund his drug use. ImageImage
MORE ON DRUG USE:

He also celebrates his sobriety quite often, yet mocks Trump and other Republicans for their lack of morals, which of course, fuels the controversy against him. ImageImage
HOMELESSNESS:

He is also very vocal about how his drug addiction caused him to be homeless. He claims to have come from a privileged background and even went to the Dalton School, but in the end couldn't even hold down a job to properly support his family. Image
SECOND, OR THIRD? MARRIAGE

He claims to have met his current wife on Twitter who moved from New Zealand to "be with him". However, once Covid hit, he was citing his financial struggles which I will share in my next Tweet.

They "met" when she commented on a certain post of his… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
ASKING FOR DONATIONS

BDD is ALWAYS asking for donations. After COVID he lost his full time job and once again. At that time, he couldnt provide for his wife from New Zealand and her two children who came to live here. He asked for donations via his blog.

He also has a link to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
QUESTION?

So basically, someone who gets paid to Tweet by a PAC, has an apparel store, a book, YouTube money, Patreon money (below) and whatever else I'm missing, believes it's within his right to ask for donations?

Thoughts? ImageImage
MORE EVIDENCE OF GRIFTING:

While he denies being a paid shill, there have been many occasions where he would post copy and pasted Tweets from the other shills of Twitter. One example is below. ImageImageImageImage
BACKPEDALING:

He is also continually contradicting his own prior Tweets. He doesn't care of course, because he has no honor and gets paid to do it. ImageImageImageImage
9/11 and J6:

BDD is always trashing 9/11 (which I take personally because I lived through it), he also continually claims that J6 was "worse" than 9/11. ImageImageImageImage
This is in stark contrast to prior tweets of his own, memorializing 9/11. It doesn't say much for someone who is from New York originally.

He also (later on) mocked 9/11 in the sense that it was 20 years ago and we should get over it.

(FYI: I cannot locate this "20 years"… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
ASHLI BABBIT:

He also continually mocks Ashli Babbit, referring to her as a terrorist. Take note, the other paid shils of Twitter say this about her as well, with similar wording.

So basically someone who bashes 9/11 and Babbit loves America, right? ImageImage
ENJOY & RESIST:

This is a page from his book which he autographed (from a review on Amazon)

What is he "resisting"? Paying child support? Image
IN THE END:

He's just a paid agitator, probably the only thing he is good at, being obnoxious. However, as previously stated, the DNC is now focusing on GenZ so not sure how much longer his "platform" will last. ImageImage

A Thread:

With 2024 looming over our heads, the Gen-Z situation is becoming dire. As most of you know, Pres. Biden announced he is building an “army” of Gen-Z democrats to “influence” young voters to align with their views.
I was always the first to call kids like Harry, Victor, Dash, etc. paid shills and try to “expose” them, I completely get it. I was there once. But to be honest, at this point, I don’t even care if it’s true.
The RNC has done nothing for us in this area. They are not only dismissive of these young voters, but they do not have any future plans to combat Biden’s influencer efforts.
