Democratic Candidate Apologizes for Pro-Gun, Pro-Police Social Media Posts
"I've shared a few stupid things over the years, and for that I am sorry. I believe who I've fought for and my values have always been clear."
"The problem is not guns. It's hearts without God, homes without discipline, schools without prayer, and courtrooms without justice."
"Wanting change within the police departments to weed out the bad cops is fine. But please remember the good ones."
Bob Brooks, a retired firefighter and Democratic candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania, faced backlash for past social media posts. He apologized for a pro-gun meme featuring Clint Eastwood and for defending police during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. Brooks also faced criticism for calling Colin Kaepernick a 'douchebag' in 2019. He acknowledged sharing 'stupid things' and emphasized his commitment to his values. Brooks is running to replace Rep. Ryan Mackenzie and served as a firefighter for two decades.
