A number of thugs follow 7th PA Congressional District Democratic candidate Bob Brooks to his various campaign events, including his appearance at the Carbon County fair. They were also at the Democratic candidate debate in Carbon County. They are “agents provocateurs.” That is French for “inciting agent.” Those tactics have an old history, often used in the past by extremist parties like the German Nazi party. The idea is to stir up trouble and then use the trouble to discredit your opponents.
It is too bad that Republican candidates have resorted to this kind of authoritarian behavior, but it isn’t surprising. The racial gerrymandering, the dark money, the attempts to subvert mail-in ballots, the constant whining about stolen elections only when they lose, false claims about illegal voting–what has happened to free and fair elections?
Could Ryan Mackenzie, Brooks’s opponent, call off these thugs? No doubt, but I don’t think he will.
When I searched for “Agent Provocateur” to make sure I spelled it right, I learned it is also a brand of women’s lingerie. It’s an expression of “confidence, sensuality, and style.” Could the thugs be wearing it under their clothes? Something to consider.
They are probably just guys wearing women's underwear..
