Rudy Giuliani's press conference was a disaster due to its location at a landscaping company and the inclusion of a witness with a criminal record.

This was, of course, the Four Seasons press conference. As best as anyone can tell, someone in the campaign may have thought that they booked the Four Seasons Hotel conference room for the presser, but had actually set up an event in front of a small landscaping company called Four Seasons Total Landscaping. I have no idea what actually happened here, if they intended it to be there or if someone screwed up, but it was pretty hilarious. Giuliani gave a rambling nonsense speech right at the moment when the networks called the race for Biden. It was a total mess. Brutal. Also, during the event, one of Giuliani's guests was an alleged poll watcher named Daryl Brooks, who turned out to also have been, quote, incarcerated in the 1990s on charges of sexual assault, lewdness, and endangering the welfare of a minor by exposing himself to two girls ages seven and 11. It's a false flag, Democrat, if I ever heard one. Well, according to an article in The Cut, quote, Brooks denied the charges and said his arrest was a police setup. Oh, so claims of the fight. So it's a double false flag. Perhaps. He was false flagged into becoming the false flag. That's what happened. I don't know. Yeah, it must be. Anyway, because this guy is somebody who's identifiable, it makes things a little bit more confusing for the claims that were being made at this press conference. Apparently, it was being alleged that Brooks was a poll watcher in Philadelphia and not being allowed in to check the roles and everything. But he lives in New Jersey. And it's not like he's a low-profile New Jersey resident. An article in Politico quoted Reed Guscoria, the mayor of Trenton, New Jersey, as describing Brooks as, quote, New Jersey's perennial candidate because Brooks had run for many different offices in New Jersey, including the Senate and House. Wow. The state of Pennsylvania requires poll watchers to be registered voters in the counties they wish to poll watch. So he couldn't have actually been in a position to actually make the claims that he was making. This whole thing was a disaster for Giuliani from the strange location to the almost comically bad timing to the poll watcher alleged who he had as a witness who couldn't possibly be a poll watcher, but is actually a convicted child abuser.

The press conference did not end abruptly after Dan Badanti's question; the governor stepped aside to let a police representative answer.

So I've read a bunch of articles about Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's press conference, which Badondi asked the first question in, but none of them say that the conference ended abruptly after his question. I found video of it, and Badandi asks his rambling, is this a false flag question? And Patrick just replies, quote, no. Next question. The next question that's asked isn't a question that Patrick can answer. It's about whether or not there are specific leads or suspects. After the question is asked, Patrick steps aside and lets the police representative field the question. If you edit the footage just right, though, it kind of looks like Patrick is leaving the press conference after Badanti asks his question. And that's absolute bullshit.
