The Beacon’s case: Fitzpatrick has quietly gone full Trump
Kierstyn Zolfo's column at the Bucks County Beacon does what most PA-01 coverage won't. She takes the "moderate" label seriously and checks it against the record: a press list that cut Levittown Now off for years, a campaign aide whose social posts The Bulwark quoted at length and who was a guest at Fitzpatrick's wedding, and ads that passed off self-published Patch articles as news.
Bob Harvie's defamation suit against the Defending America PAC is still live, and it's about the same habit: ads claiming he was under FBI investigation.
The section headings do the arguing for her. The media. The bigotry. The lies. Every accusation is an admission.
One of those sections points back at us. We published photos earlier this year of a Fitzpatrick campaign staffer tampering with Harvie's campaign signs, and Zolfo sets that beside three other episodes from Fitzpatrick campaigns going back to 2018.
She ends with four words. We deserve better.
