Has the Free National Movement (FNM) truly been running some vile, mudslinging campaign against the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) and its ever-sensitive Chairman Fred Mitchell—or is this just yet another episode of Fred’s favourite political drama, “The Victim Chronicles”?

Let’s be honest. The PLP, under Fred Mitchell’s “leadership,” practically set the stage for nastiness from the very first note, voice note, press note, and whispered note. They started the smear campaign; yet are now surprised the FNM may have responded in kind.  It’s the classic case of praying for rain, then crying foul when you’re drenched in mud.

The PLP has been running around the country pretending they have been waging a holy and “clean” campaign, all while their chairman and an army of social media crumbstanchers churn out venom daily. The hypocrisy is so thick you could build a seawall out of it. And here’s Fred, clutching his pearls, telling Bahamians that the FNM has been “nasty.” No, Fred—the only nasty thing here is the PLP’s reflection in the mirror.

Just listen to him:

“The hatred by the official FNM of me is so strong that they have made it a targeted seat… Scared my bloody foot… The FNM candidate is irrelevant…”

Translation? Fred Mitchell, who’s been hurling grenades at opponents like it’s a full-time job, now wants Bahamians to believe he’s the one under siege. It’s the political equivalent of starting a bar fight and then whining that somebody swung back.

The facts are plain. No one—absolutely no one—has run a nastier campaign than Fred Mitchell and the PLP. Not the FNM, not independents, not even the anonymous Facebook trolls. And it has been a bttier and angry Fred Mitchell at the helm, dragging political discourse through the mud, and now crying foul because the FNM may now dare to play his game.

If The Bahamas is ever to see true progress, Fred Mitchell and this “New Day” government—whose only specialty is excuses, finger-pointing, and gaslighting—must be voted out. Not tomorrow. Not next year. But as soon as Bahamians possibly can.

Because in the end, Fred, you can’t set fire to the house and then call yourself the fireman.

The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) fails for one reason, it is their nature.
