The Brooklyn Republican Party enthusiastically backed Michael Grimm's primary opponent in 2010, but the county's chairman, Craig Eaton, told me there's no truth to a rumor today that the party has declined to carry petitions for Grimm's re-election.
"We endorsed Congressman Grimm before the Staten Island G.O.P. and before the Brooklyn Conservative Party this year," Eaton told me this afternoon.
Earlier today, Glenn Nocera, who runs the Brooklyn Young Republicans Club, posted on Facebook that he had been contacted by Grimm's campaign to help with petitioning.
"They are in urgent need for people to help them in Brooklyn to carry Petitions for Congressman Grimm, for his re-election," he wrote, adding, "I think that is not a great message to send to the public that Brooklyn does not support Congressman Grimm."
Eaton told me there was nothing at all to that.
"That's Glenn Nocera's fabrication to try and bolster the image of his young Republican Club, which is no longer sanctioned by the New York State Republican Party," Eaton said.
A spokesperson for Grimm's campaign did not immediately return an email for comment.
"Earlier today, Glenn Nocera, who runs the Brooklyn Young Republicans Club, posted on Facebook that he had been contacted by Grimm's campaign to help with petitioning."
Would this be the same person from the "Grimm campaign" who contacted Glenn Nocera...

"The director of community relations for Rep. Michael Grimm was arrested for getting violent with his 14-year-old son after the teen was found in possession of alleged marijuana, The Post has learned.
Liam Ambrose McCabe, 33, was charged with misdemeanor assault for Friday’s incident at the Math and Science Exploratory School on Dean Street in Boerum Hill, sources said."

"A staffer in Rep. Michael Grimm's Brooklyn office has been suspended after he was arrested outside a Brooklyn school Friday during a physical altercation with his teenage son."
I guess now we know how massive alcoholic and pothead Liam McCabe is spending his time these days, spreading false lies.
Though it does make one wonder if Mr. McCabe is not working for the congressman then exactly why is he calling enemies of the Brooklyn Republican party and spreading false lies.
Stay tuned.
