On Wednesday night, Other Side Dallas received and published a Brad Namdar defense comment about the story published Monday morning in which a video surfaced of Namdar with a sexual escort named Belle. The full story can be read here.
The comment we received from Gary Loftin, a self described Blue Dog Democrat, is below.
We would not normally write a post about specific comments, but do so in this case because Mr. Loftin’s response has an IP address that matches another comment from several weeks ago, but in that case from a Greg Rancin.
Both comments were defenses of Brad Namdar. In Mr. Ranchin’s case he claimed we had engaged in “wall to wall” coverage of Mr. Namdar despite us not publishing anything about him since February 2022.
It was actually his comment – also approved – which had us look for why there were protests about coverage of Mr. Namdar when no one was writing about him.
Brad Namdar Defense Needed?
As noted in the article Monday, Mr. Namdar has an interesting candidate history when you juxtapose his public statements versus his private actions.
Namdar vehemently denied the allegations he sought an escort when he went on Mark Davis’ radio show in February 2022. Additionally, he admitted to the crux of the facts in the Current Revolt story we referenced.
Moreover, when we published about him in February we were contacted by two separate families about alleged inappropriate behavior when he was a coach with Dallas Independent School District. We believe these two individuals are in addition to a third who made a complaint to the school.
Other Side Dallas was accused by “Mr. Loftin” of “trying to hurt a newly married couple” in his lengthy comment.
The timing of his wedding versus his actions with ‘Belle’ make the timeline somewhat unclear, but for the record, Other Side Dallas did not at any time encourage, solicit, or approve of Mr. Namdar seeking the companionship of an escort.
We do not know if Pia Namdar is aware of these issues or if she approves of them.
We do know the Brad Namdar defense is to deny allegations after he admitted to them in his conversation with Current Revolt.
One local Republican said of Bardia Namdarkhan, “He gave me the creeps from Day One…How he bamboozled PCRW is a mystery, except that they are PCRW and apparently easily duped. Pia seems decent, and I have a hard time seeing what she sees in the candle magnate.”
The statement above was made months ago prior to any Brad Namdar defense statement on his behavior or campaign. Officially, Other Side Dallas is grateful for the investigative push of both “Greg Ranchin” and “Gary Loftin” for encouraging us to further investigate Bardia Namdarkhan.
The Other Side Dallas, your anonymous and conclusion written articles are not only a joke but it’s clear you are a paid pawn. It’s very clear y’all are involved in this smear campaign. As a REPUBLICAN, and a member of PCRW, I have been involved in the GOP for many years. Your involvement from municipal races to now have done nothing more than collude, create, and report on fake unsubstantiated stories. The fact you want to keep hitting him because he has supporters demonstrates your true character. Do any of you even have the integrity to publicly say who y’all are?
The article we wrote Monday was based on the Current Revolt article – which came from a right wing website. We have spoken to their staff who stated Mr. Namdar admitted to the affair befre recanting. It should also be noted that Mr. NAmdar’s attorney who contacted Current Revolt dropped his client immediately after the publish of the article.
Do you think objective journalism is reporting a “right wing site” which has fringe or a partisan bias agenda? It’s beyond interesting how no one seems to have any sources on record (from precinct chairs, or teachers, students, etc.) , or has asked or reported Brad’s side of these garbage story’s . Again, as a member of PCRW, someone who worked the 2021 municipal races, and know the Wernick campaign very well, I can state with full confidence Brad did nothing to harm any municipal race . However you accused Brad of being a self proclaimed,”QANON Kingmaker“ in May of 2021 and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Y’all are a racially biased , one party group that hates people who can bring positive change to Dallas.
Again, we published comments directly from GOP precinct chairs who don’t want to be named because they continue to be contacted by Mr. Namdar. You may not agree with them, but the comments are all coming from colleagues in GOP circles.
We are also following up on unconfirmed reports that Dallas GOP leaders asked him to drop out of the TX32 race because he was “embarrassing the party.”
Mr. Namdar was contacted and Current Revolt published their account of the back and forth including Mr. Namdar’s admission. There is also clear evidence that Mr. Namdar is with the escort in question.
