Default Should I out the fraud politician?

I'm a municipal elected official. I'm Facebook friends with a politician in another community whom I know is a fraud. I won't say who or the community.

The guy votes against his colleagues on numerous issues just so he can then blast the decision publically. A municipal budget, for example. Tax increases are unpopular so he usually opposes any budget with any increase, then on his website and on Facebook he attacks the decision. He picks his spots and loves to go ballistic on controversial issues. He does these same things on twitter and on his website. He picks issues for the express purpose of grandstanding.

Once a council decision is made, even if you disagreed you can say why you voted against, but you then support the decision made by the majority. You can still feel the decision was wrong but you don't attempt the undermine a majority decision or try to attack your colleagues. This guy does all of these. He provides incomplete information to strenghten his case. These tactics are very destructive.

When he votes against something, he's immediately online pretending to be the hero and playing to the masses. These idiots lap it up. They think this guy is their hero and the only one who has their interests at heart. Several are asking him to run for mayor. I hope he does so his ass is booted at the next election.

I know this guy is a fraud. He has no respect from his colleagues. They can't stand him. He's a loner because no one will even talk with the jackass. He's ineffective but his constituents don't know who he really is or that he's ineffective. Any politician who loses the confidence of his colleagues like this is impotent.

We're Facebook "friends" because I want to see what the moron is up to. If I out him, he'll unfriend me, which I wouldn't mind except then I can't follow his stupid behaviour unless I go undercover.

Should I expose this jackass for the fraud I know he is?
