Kansas Progressives Claim Racism Motivates Latest Complaint Against Rep

Right now we want to feature A REALLY DUMB MOVE by Kansas prog bloggers who expose themselves as hypocrites when they rant against political violence and bullying. 

To wit . . . 

MORE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST REP. CARR SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY & NOT DISMISSED AS 'RACIALLY CHARGED' POLITICS!!!

A quick refresher . . . Just this year:

Rep. Carr was named in a notable pub ruckus that resonated across the state. 

 And then . . . 

A Kansas House floor debate had to be paused after emotions over gun safety education reached a level too high to continue. 

And then . . .

We covered some of the reaction to the ruckus . . . But the conclusion from conservatives was misguided and sophomoric . . . 

Instead of holding a Democratic Party Rep. accountable . . . The Kansas Reflector attempts to turn the ruckus into racially charged nonsense that doesn't take complaints seriously and downplays legit concerns about PREVENTING any potential political violence. 

In fairness . . . Here's their side of the story that kind of speaks for itself . . . 

Kansas Republicans sent an unmistakable message to Democratic Rep. Ford Carr this week: Mess with us, and we’ll destroy you.

The Wichita-based representative, who is Black, filed a complaint in February against Republican Rep. Nick Hoheisel, who is white. This week a disciplinary panel deadlocked along party lines when considering Carr’s complaint. But members had a new issue to consider: Republican Rep. Leah Howell of Derby lodged allegations against Carr.

Howell claimed that the Democrat showed “patterns of violent rhetoric, physical violence, intimidating behavior and derogatory language which is unbecoming of any Kansan, much less a member of the Kansas House.” House Majority Leader Chris Croft endorsed the complaint.

I’ll tell you what this looks like to me. It looks as though Kansas Republicans have decided to teach Carr a lesson. After not being able to shut him up on the floor, they are now determined to go after his reputation. I’m not saying the Carr is a perfect person. I don’t know him and can’t say. But I also know that in any workplace with 165 people, you’re going to see a variety of personalities and approaches.
