Dem candidate in Kansas slammed for poster of Wonder Woman lassoing cop
The Democratic-backed candidate running for Kansas State Attorney General has been called on by her own party to drop out because of a poster hung in her law office that depicts Wonder Woman lassoing a police officer around the neck.
Attorney Sarah Swain apologized after she was criticized heavily by law enforcement groups, who argued that the image promoted violence against police officers.
The state Democratic Party agreed, adding that the poster is grounds for disqualification for the attorney general’s office.
“We strongly condemn and reject any depiction of violence against law enforcement, including the image from Swain’s law firm,” the party said in a statement. “We did not recruit or encourage Swain to run for attorney general, nor have we had any contact with her since she filed...”
That's bad Ms Swain, your own party is dropping you like a hot pan. Now this is funny.
"...'As a criminal defense attorney for nearly 17 years, I have seen firsthand the injustice that can be doled out at the hands of less-than-honest police officers,' Swain said. 'I have been involved in many cases where the truth was ignored and people’s lives were destroyed. These are just some of the experiences that eventually led me to run for attorney general.'”
No, the reason you sought this position is you're ambitious. I can't hold that against you, in and by itself. But you already showing yourself bias against law enforcement, and these are the people you will be working with, assuming you win. But I don't see much of a chance of that:
If Swain succumbs to pressure and drops out, the incumbent Republican Attorney General Derek Schmidt will run unopposed in November.
When your party is out and out saying, "We would rather hand the seat to the GOP than support you...," that is bad.
Look on right side Ms Swain, no publicity is bad publicity, and God knows there are people who will run to you for their pay day.
