Our very own ninja sends in an update. ninja says,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Well, guess what.<\/p>\n<p>SHE\u2019S BACK!<\/p>\n<p>*Warning about the New York Post story. The video shows the women bare breasted doing a Strip-Tease in an Anti-War Burlesque Show*<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I truly wished I&#8217;d listened to the warning. So consider this your\u00a0<em>second\u00a0<\/em>warning not to click through the New York Post link. I was thinking, &#8220;Burlesque shows are pretty hot&#8230;but it&#8217;s anti-war and they&#8217;re usually not&#8230;ah, it can&#8217;t be <em>that <\/em>bad. I&#8217;ll just take a peek.&#8221; DON&#8217;T repeat my mistakes. Learn from my failures.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, DeBarros is back, she&#8217;s less dressed, she&#8217;s still a socialist, and of course she&#8217;s running for Congress. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/12\/11\/nyc-candidate-brittany-ramos-debarros-strips-in-burlesque-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">From the Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Conservative Staten Island voters might take issue with this captain showing her privates.<\/p>\n<p>Ex-Army officer Brittany Ramos DeBarros, a socialist looking to replace GOP Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, bared more than her soul at an anti-war burlesque show at a Brooklyn bar, video obtained by The Post shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Staten Island where you have a disproportionate number of police, corrections officers and other law enforcement personnel who have served in the armed forces, this burlesque making fun of the armed forces will not go over well,\u201d Hank Sheinkopf, a veteran Democratic strategist told The Post. \u201cIn the era when Democrats are seen as disorderly and out of control, all this does it make it more difficult to elect Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The wild evening took place at Starr Bar in Flatbush, during which the retired captain and Afghan war veteran stripped off her camouflage uniform to nothing but red lingerie, as she gyrated to Edwin Starr\u2019s iconic protest song, \u201cWar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three women in pasties thrusted and heaved against DeBarros during the December 2019 performance, where the now candidate went by the stage name \u201cCaptain Unbecoming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After an extended twerk, she went fully topless \u2014 to the Disney tune, \u201cLet It Go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeBarros, who deployed to Afghanistan in 2012, became a fierce critic of the conflict and claimed she was almost court-martialed for \u201cposting facts\u201d about the war while still in uniform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a captain in the army. I was deployed to Afghanistan. I was like, \u2018This is bulls\u2013t,&#8217;\u201d she told the Brooklyn audience, adding that after her return to the US she became committed to \u201canti-war, anti-imperialist [and] anti-racist work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeBarros posted video of the performance to her Instagram page, using the hashtag #dropbootiesnotbombs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you see me pause and cover my face in the first video it\u2019s because I\u2019m actually overwhelmed with emotion and how liberating it felt to angrily tear that uniform off in front of an audience,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud of this show and it still brings me so much joy to watch myself step into long under-nourished pleasure and passion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeBarros has raised more than $350,000 since January, according to FEC records \u2014 the majority of it coming from out of state donors. She is a card-carrying Democratic Socialist and wants to tap into the same energy which helped power Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jamaal Bowman to their upset victories.<\/p>\n<p>One of DeBarros\u2019 fundraising appeals sparked backlash as she attempted to raise money after Hurricane Ida, citing the storm which left at least 13 New Yorkers dead as she pushed President Biden\u2019s infrastructure bill.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the cash will likely make her a formidable challenger in the Democratic primary, where she will face the district\u2019s former Rep. Max Rose \u2014 also a military veteran and decorated first lieutenant.<\/p>\n<p>DeBarros did not return a message seeing comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Most shocking is the Post&#8217;s inclusion of an official photo of DeBarros when she was a fresh faced second lieutenant. The transformation has been dramatic to say the least.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/brittany-debarros-before.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-120670\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/brittany-debarros-before-222x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/brittany-debarros-before-222x333.jpg 222w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/brittany-debarros-before-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/brittany-debarros-before-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/brittany-debarros-before.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And for those wondering, here&#8217;s the kind of stuff that she &#8220;almost&#8221; got court martialed for.

According to her bio, she received an Army scholarship to attend the University of Miami when she was 18 and graduated in 2011. She signed on with the Army in 2007 then for classes that started that fall. She voluntarily took Army money to become an officer mere months after The Surge began in Iraq. She was a pre-teen on 9\/11, so during all of her formative years we were at war. Not just one war, but two. Her particular brand of stupid would fit right in with some of the legendary mental giants of the New York Congressional Delegation like AOC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We talked about this Brittany DeBarrows way back in 2018.
