Ridgewood NJ, After months of name calling Gottheimer is a no show . Despite claiming he would be available to debate “any day,” Josh Gottheimer conveniently accepted a competing invitation in order to avoid debating Rep. Scott Garrett. Garrett for Congress has now learned that this competing debate was canceled last week, and yet Gottheimer chose to hide from tonight’s debate at Congregation Bnai Yeshurun.
“Josh Gottheimer is a liar,” said Garrett for Congress Campaign Manager Sarah Neibart. “He claimed he would be willing to debate Congressman Garrett, but Gottheimer is obviously only interested in political posturing – not actually explaining to Fifth District voters where he stands on the issues.”
This latest attempt at obfuscation comes on the heels of Gottheimer’s attempted cover-up of allegations he aggressively intimidated and assaulted a woman. He’s repeatedly lied to reporters, saying, “there was no settlement,” when in fact, there was.
Josh Gottheimer is a political insider willing to lie and scheme his way into Congress. The Fifth District deserves better than that.
Never heard of the guy before. First tv ad I saw called Garret a bigot & just received a big postcard with only derogatory comments about his opponent. I guess that was his thing when he wrote for Clinton. No informstion, just nasty attacks. No curb appeal..
Another clinton carpetbagger
