Man featured at Giuliani press conference is a convicted sex offender
Link to tweet
As expected, Guliani really knows all the pieces of filth
The first person Rudy Giuliani, the attorney for President Donald Trump, called up as a witness to baseless allegations of vote counting shenanigans in Philadelphia during a press conference last week is a sex offender who for years has been a perennial candidate in New Jersey.
“It’s such a shame. This is a democracy,” Daryl Brooks, who said he was a GOP poll watcher, said at the press conference, held at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Northeast Philadelphia. “They did not allow us to see anything. Was it corrupt or not? But give us an opportunity as poll watchers to view all the documents — all of the ballots.”
Trenton political insiders watched with bemusement as Brooks took the podium.
Brooks was incarcerated in the 1990s on charges of sexual assault, lewdness and endangering the welfare of a minor for exposing himself to two girls ages 7 and 11, according to news accounts.

Probably did and figured he's the perfect fit for the R party.

TRENTON — Daryl Brooks, city activist and independent U.S. Senate candidate, was jailed Monday for failure to pay more than $70,000 in child support payments to three women.
Brooks, who served a jail term for a sex offense in 1998, vowed to embark on a hunger strike to protest the treatment of those released from prison in America.
“America’s child support system has been called by many ‘The modern-day resurrection of the debtor’s prison system,’ ” Brooks said in a press release. “Thousand of previously incarcerated people have been re-jailed or imprisoned — for anywhere from six months to three years or more — over this type of debt, and face more FELONY convictions tacked upon their records as a result.”
This should put an end to Rudy's quixotic quest. But it won't. 95% of the Americans will not hear about this.
Brooks, 40, turned himself in Monday to Mercer County Sheriff’s Officers, who had a warrant to arrest him under the state’s Deadbeat Dad law.
Brooks owed a little more than $70,000 to three women, according to Dennis McManimon, chief warrant officer for the Sheriff’s Department. McManimon said it was unclear from the records how many children Brooks has with the women.
“For someone to owe $70,000, it shows that he hasn’t paid child support in a long time,” McManimon said.
Brooks blamed his failure to support his children on his criminal past.
“These charges exist because his criminal record prevents him from attaining employment of a caliber to meet his debts,” Brooks wrote in his release.
Brooks was convicted in 1998 of fondling himself in front of two girls and served three years and eight months in prison. He continues to profess his innocence, saying he was set up by Trenton police and elected officials who were retaliating against his activities as a city activist. Brooks is running for the Senate as an independent candidate using the slogan “Poor People’s Campaign.” He lost a bid for Congress in 2004 and a Senate bid in 2006.
