Lol Braddock hasn't been a booming metropolis since 1920. In fact, Braddock had its steepest decline in 2000 when it lost 37% of its population. Under Fetterman the decline has slowed. How are you gonna blame a mayor when the place was declining for 100 years lmao.

And let’s not forget that there were no murders there for eight of his thirteen years as mayor. Zero! Even the mayors of Philadelphia or Pittsburgh can’t claim that.

Oh my. Are you really comparing Braddock to 2 of the largest cities in the country? This must be satire.

I’m comparing a mayor who prevented murders in his town. A mayor is a mayor.
