To wit . . .

CHECK THIS TKC READER INSIGHT INTO THE JACOB TURK STATEMENT ON THIS WEEK'S ATTACK ON CONGRESSMAN CLEAVER'S OFFICE!!!

Overall, this local insider seems to contend the reax was "ham fisted" at best . . . But here's the word:

A KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTER SEYZ: "Here's an interesting press release from the Turk for Congress campaign about the inexplicable Molotov cocktail incident at Cleaver's office the other night. Turk attacks Cleaver while expressing outrage at the attack on Cleaver's office.

As far as who might have masterminded the attack, there is a rogue's gallery of possible suspects: mischievous teens, immigration activists, militarized police opponents, race baiters - take your pick of which race, taxpayers on the hook for Cleaver's defaulted SBA loan, or an inside job. Regardless, when he's not snatching up a free meal and some handshakes at a local picnic, Jacob Turk never misses an opportunity to further contort his incoherent messaging."



The Jacob Turk response in its entirety:

Jacob Turk Calls For Swift Investigation of Attacks On Emanuel Cleaver's Office

First, let me be clear. I condemn all acts of vandalism and destruction of property. These acts have no place in the discourse of American politics.

No matter the legitimate grievance(s) people may have with our government, lack of jobs, the refusal to secure our nation's borders, the unconstitutional “a pen and a phone” edicts of our President, violence is not the way to address grievances in America.

No matter the understandable frustrations with Congressman Cleaver, the broken promises of jobs from the failed “Green Zone”, or the “occupy” folks angry over a wealthy 1%'er refusing to pay his personal car wash loan, or citizens ignored and snubbed by Emanuel Cleaver by his refusal to have open dialogue with constituents and his outright disrespect for those who disagree with him, vandalism is not the way to express frustrations in America.

Whatever the legitimate and understandable complaints people in the 5th Congressional District have with Congressman Emanuel Cleaver and our current government leaders, there is no justification for vandalism, violence, looting or destruction of property.

Secondly, I call for a complete and thorough investigation of this crime by the FBI and KCPD. An act of vandalism against the office of a sitting U. S. Congressman, no matter how small or ineffective, is a serious matter that needs a serious investigation.

All results from the investigation need to be released to the public as immediately as possible.

Also, we hope Congressman Cleaver will now have additional security cameras installed outside his official offices. He has called for body cameras for police officers. Cleaver needs to live by his own words and expectations of others.

Lastly, the proper outlet to address any and all concerns about the conduct of Congressman Cleaver is at hand. On November 4th, just 53 days from now, those with disagreements need to work to send Cleaver into a much needed retirement. We as Americans have a peaceful and powerful path to change: the ballot box.

I urge all who want a different representative leading the solutions to our challenges, all who want a different representative who is willing to meet with and listen to all his constituents, those who want a better America than what Cleaver has created, to work to elect someone new. On November 4th I ask the citizens of the 5th Congressional District to vote for me, Jacob Turk.

It's time for change.
