Russian Meddling? High Turnover at Manchester Health Department Resulted in Fewer Inspections

Chris Pappas Resist

The cover-up of a Norovirus outbreak at Congressman Chris Pappas’ Manchester Restaurant remains covered up.  But the excuse factory is still working.

If you missed it before Thanksgiving, 18 people got sick after eating catered food from the Puritan Backroom in Manchester. One person died. The name of the restaurant was known but never released by the “Unbiased” New Hampshire Media nor its connection to one of our Democrat Congresspersons.

Shortly after NH Journal broke the news, we picked it up and the media reluctantly followed suit. Why it went unreported for a month remains unclear. But one of the facts that emerged was an overdue health inspection by the City. The UL reports that this was the result of high turnover and increased workload.

What workload?

“…most Manchester food establishments were inspected only once last year because of staffing turnover and ‘an increased workload in our other areas of practice’ — including collecting discarded needles.”

Given that Democrat Mayor Joyce Craig runs Manchester it can’t possibly be her fault. Nor can it be the result of years of Democrat open borders policies. Priorities that just happen to coincide with the rise of the opioid crisis, addictions, death, and the prevalence of drug needles in public. Drugs carried into New Hampshire from a sanctuary city in a neighboring Democrat-run state.

It can’t be any of that. It has to be Russians. Climate Denying Russians. Depositing needles all over the city so that Democrat’s Joyce Craig and Chris Pappas would have PR nightmares when people got sick and died because the Health Inspector is understaffed and overworked.

I’m surprised the New Hampshire Democrat Party has yet to issue a press release blaming Governor Sununu or President Trump – demanding more pay and bigger budgets to attract needle-meter maids and (eventually) poop patrol paratroopers like they have in San Francisco.

Manchester is, after all, on the classic Democrat arc into left-Wing Third World status. It’s responsible for more crime, gun deaths, drug deaths, and now Norovirus deaths in the state. A real plague on all our houses. But that’s not their fault. And they can fix it. 

Democrat policy may superficially appear to be responsible for every rung on Manchester’s descent into liberal-urban-misery. But the cure is more Democrats and more Democrat policies. More sanctuary cities here in New Hampshire. Because only Democrat Socialists advancing socialist ideas can repel the socialist influence of Russians and Vladimir Putin.

They’ve already got the media stenographers in line. All that’s standing in their way is you.
