Democrats in Kansas boot out Dem incumbent for 19-year-old challenger. But wait...
In a primary race for the state legislature in Kansas, Democrat voters have chosen 19-year-old Aaron Coleman. And since no Republican is even running for the seat, Coleman looks like he'll cruise to victory.
Coleman seems to have studied under Bill Clinton, as he admits he harassed girls in middle school and circulated a nude photo of one 13-year-old girl.
Speaking in the measured tones of Democrat Nancy Pelosi, Coleman also said he would “giggle” if a former Republican state legislator who is now a radio show host were to die from COVID-19.
Coleman defeated incumbent Democratic state Rep. Stan Frownfelter by a vote of 823 to 809.
The result sent shock waves to those who had known Coleman. One 18-year-old girl Coleman harassed in the 6th grade said she tried to commit suicide due to the harassment.
She recalled Coleman “calling me fat, telling me to kill myself, just downgrading me every day.”
Another woman said the Democratic winner “got one of my nudes and blackmailed me with it and told me if I didn’t send him more he would [send] it to all of my friends and family. And when I refused, he sent it to everyone I knew."
When The New York Times asked Coleman about the claims, his response was: “They’re accurate.”
“The charges include: bullying, revenge porn, and blackmail — I just want to make clear all these allegations are both true and occurred only digitally,” he wrote on his official campaign Facebook page.
In an interview Coleman admitted posting a Facebook message expressing glee over the possibility that former state Rep. John Whitmer, a Wichita talk-radio host and a Republican, could die of COVID-19.
“John, I’m going to laugh and giggle when you get COVID and die,” the post read. “At least we can say you died doing what you love. Ask your buddy Herman Cain how it worked out for him.”
When asked about Coleman, several top Democrat strategists said they thought he had exactly the qualities that would attract young voters to the Democrat party.
