Deception Connor Traut Style
It’s a pretty sad thing if your first campaign action is a cheap deception, a deception that is really tantamount to a lie. Or as the Kennedy Sisters would scream: disinformation.
The other day FFFF reported on the 4th District Supervisorial campaign announcement of one Connor Traut, a nebbish-looking guy on the Buena Park City Council whose history is one of self-promotion and carpetbuggery. His mentor was the late creep from Anaheim Jordan Brandman who went nuts and died of acute meth intoxication..
The troutlet’s first announcement as a proclaimed candidate came soon after. In it, he proclaims that his campaign “eclipsed” the $100,000 donation mark in just the first 24 hours! What an unparalleled display of wide and dedicated support!
CONNOR TRAUT ECLIPSES $100K FUNDRAISING MARK IN RACE FOR OC SUPERVISOR
THANK YOU! I’m so grateful for the outpouring of support following my announcement yesterday that I’m running for Orange County Supervisor. I’m excited to announce that we’ve eclipsed the $100,000 cash-on-hand mark in the campaign’s first 24 hours!
It’s clear that our community shares our vision for the future of Orange County. We’ll continue working hard to raise the resources needed to reach voters in every corner of this district.
Politicians often publicize their bank assets, when they have any, as a way to scare off the competition and to induce potential donors to get on the bandwagon. Of course the confident ones don’t need to. That’s obviously what’s happening here. The problem is in the details.
See, the Troutlet didn’t actually raise any money at all.
According to facts that came out on the Orange Juice Blog, what the Troutling did was transfer that hundred grand from his Buena Park City Council campaign account, money he has diligently raised over the past 6 years as a councilmember. It’s a shoddy little deception that goes right along with the outdated strategies that didn’t help Vivian Jaramillo, like having a bunch of endorsements from politicians that almost nobody has heard of. Like Jaramillo, he has been endorsed by Josh Newman, Sharon Quirk, Doug “Bud” Chaffee, Shana Charles, Jan Flory, Aruni Thakur and other Fullerton boohoo locals.
Oh, well. At least now we know what to expect from this obnoxious small fry: a marginal sense of ethics, and a lame, expensive, and lumbering campaign.
Not a goose egg. A fish egg.
Traut is very comfortable lying. It’s his native language.
Who did he think would fall for that scam? Right out of the gate, first move a fuck-up. Poor little tadpole.
A silver spoon fed child of a millionarie is running for an office that controls a 10 billion dollar budget. The son of Eric Traut, a personal injury lawyer and to do in Dem Party circles, child Connor has known nothing but privilege. Didn’t this child just tried his first case in court. There’s no limit to that family’s political ambitions. Let’s see if the spoiled brat can buy his way on with daddy’s money and donor network.
Ugh….he’s one of those people? As if I needed any reason to dislike this hack anymore than I already do.
One thing’s for certain, if 4F has a hook in Traut’s mouth, he’s toast.
You’re mixing your metaphors.
Yep! Save us from these do nothings and frauds.
100 grand in the 6 years after carpetbagging into BP is $17,000 per year. And that may include money from his school district committee.
Hardly an impressive total really and he’s had no real opponents, so no need to spend much.
But notice how he lies and misrepresents it as “overwhelming community support”? He doesn’t have even a casual relationship with truth. His heart and soul are filled with deceit.
Boyish man who endorsed the mayoral and supervisor campaigns of anti-Christian Muslim immigrant Farrah Khan and also the mayor campaign of two name Tammy Kim.
Farrah Khan denies the Armenian Genocide. She is a fucking racist. Anyone associated with Farrah and her puppet master felon Melahat Rafiei is corrupt. Melahat is a rat.
She had her hooks into Zahra, probably still does. He’s the dope cartels Man in Fullerton.
