MARK MCBRIDE – INVENTOR OF THE FAKE “SLANDERING” PROFILE CAMPAIGN TACTIC

On Facebook Live today, Myrtle Beach retired resident Mark McBride stated he paid his $3,500 filing fee to run for U.S. 7th District.

With no ground game, and only $400 in his campaign account (per February filings) McBride must find a way to get some attention to his struggling campaign.

McBride is a life-long political junkie, entering every political race practically every election cycle since 2005. As he refuses to build the necessary campaign infrastructure of a key manager, along with a staff of dedicated volunteers, he has lost every race he entered since 2005.

 In February 2022, McBride fired his highly touted campaign advisor, Noel Fritsch. Fritsch told MyrtleBeachSC News that McBride still owes him more than ten thousand dollars.

Rather than do the hard work of organizing, McBride touts his strong religious experience and personal piety, demanding the press cover his flailing efforts.

McBride is the father of the online Fake Profile smear campaign tactic.

In a previous election cycle, McBride’s slander went viral with every local media channel covering it. McBride posed as Elmer Fudd falsely claiming that the offices of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce were raided.

Posing as Elmer Fudd, McBride asked online: “Which local news agency is going to break the news and capture the headline ‘Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce raided by the Horry County Sheriff’s Office and computers seized’?”

“Fudd” (McBride) writes:

“Sheriff and Police also seized computers from The Brittains (Brittain Resort Hotels) and The Jordan Properties. Just think, the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce is waiting on their $18 million in Ad TAX monies. Will that be misused to benefit the Brittain and Jordan Properties?”

These all turned out to be lies told by a life-long, struggling, attention starved politician.

The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce said the comments were untrue and said they would pursue a defamation lawsuit. Through those lawsuits a judge ordered the Sun News to reveal “Fudd’s” registration information. Turns out it was Mark McBride.

WHEN CORNERED AND QUESTIONED AFTER THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED:

NewsChannel 15 asked McBride if he is “Elmer Fudd” and here is a transcript of what was said:

Reporter: I’m going to throw you a curve ball here. There have been rumors that you may be …

McBride: Now you’re making me late.

Reporter: That you may be Elmer Fudd, the infamous Elmer Fudd from The Sun News — the postings.

McBride: Oh, the lawsuit. Yeah, I’m looking forward to getting to the bottom of that. I’m looking forward to seeing who Elmer Fudd is.

Reporter: Are you Elmer Fudd?

McBride: I’m looking forward to seeing who Elmer Fudd is.

Reporter: If it is found out that Elmer Fudd is someone within your organization, what will your response be?

McBride: I’m looking forward to getting to the bottom of Elmer Fudd and all that discussions to be … come out.

Reporter: Do you have any idea who it is?

McBride: I’m looking forward to getting to the bottom of that discussion. I’ve got to go to work.

Reporter: All right, thank you.

TYPICAL MCBRIDE DIRTY CAMPAIGN TACTICS

McBride was proven to be the owner of the Elmer Fudd “Fake Profile” in question. McBride lied his way through the entire campaign cycle.

This cycle has also been filled with the same nonsense. Can voters trust McBride?

McBride’s Ongoing Lies Led To This Commercial

As to faith, please note, we do not consider ourselves in line with the self righteous type of Christian that Mark McBride claims to be.

Perhaps this will be McBride’s last chapter in leveraging slander as his one and only tried and true campaign strategy method.

He hopes to score big on the debate stage, as this is the only way his campaign can now gain any traction.

Look for more over the top, drama filled, accusations and rants.
