Republicans love committing voter fraud then turning it around and blame the Mexicans.

This guy's wikipedia is wild.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Watkins

And meta.  I don't think I've ever seen a wikipedia page that has a section about wikipedia.

Wikipedia
Watkins attempted to erase references to some stories about his behavior from his Wikipedia article, as shown in its edit history. He made at least six edits in November 2018. A subject line regarding one change read "I am Steve Watkins. My lawyers and I edited this page because it was heavily biased". Jim Joice, Watkins' chief of staff who was previously a Republican party official and staffer, further edited the article on five occasions in December 2018 and January 2019.[31]

I’m guessing he didn’t write the part about sucking crap at dog sled racing.

I haven't lived in Kansas in nearly a decade and that isn't someone I'd seek out to hear anyway.

I think I've only seen two Republican politicians speak publicly, Nancy Kasselbaum and Steve King. Kasselbaum was for a Landon Lecture, I also met Fred Phelps that day. I went to see Steve King for shock value and I thought there was a 10% chance he'd be taken out and I wanted to be there if it happened.

K-State had some big time people come in for Landon Lectures when I was in school. Saw Bush(W), Bill Clinton and Rumsfield. Looks like they also had Robert Gates (sec of def), David Petraeus and Vicente Fox speak while I was in school but I don't think I went to those.

I looked at who has spoken recently and its not nearly as impressive, Pompeo in 2019 and Sonia Sotomayor in 2011 were the only names that jumped out at me.

I met Senators Kassebaum and Dole when I went to the capitol in high school for FFA.

Not to mention Martin Luther King, Jr speaking on 19 Jan 1968 at AFH less than 3 months before he was murdered.

https://www.lib.k-state.edu/martin-luther-king-jr-visits-k-state#:~:text=On%20January%2019%2C%201968%2C%20K,our%20nation%2C%20the%20progress%20made

Our society continues to stubbornly ignore his prophetic wisdom:

Quote
King reinforced the importance of pushing for change through non-violent protests and actions. He reasoned that it was “the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and human dignity.” His address also expressed his opposition to the Vietnam War. He felt we had greater problems to solve on the home front, especially since war efforts appeared futile and incapable of reaching success. Quoting poverty and civil rights as primary issues, he added that the expanse of money funneled into the war effort would have been better utilized for these problems instead.

If he were older, the stuff from middle school wouldn't be a big deal to me. It's refreshing that he admits to doing it when you compare him to someone like Kavanaugh. He's just 19, though. This is recent behavior, and why on earth would anyone vote for any 19 year old to hold public office, anyway?

Apparently, POS Pubs approve of this racist eff.  Otherwise they would have a candidate nominated to run against him.

Also odd calling him "racist" when the allegations don't really have anything to do with race.

There isn't an pub running for the position.  Also, the Demrats must of had a POS incumbent that couldn't win the primary.
