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.
