"You want voters to believe you posted to this account but all of the bad things came from someone else, including a friend who is dead?"


Background: "Controversial old social media account linked to Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Crowley/Crowley's campaign confirmed to NBC News that he registered the account but denied authoring any of the controversial posts, saying it was operated by 10 to 12 others to promote a bar and social club" (WTMJ Milwaukee).

With a (D) after his name, he's a great guy, unfairly accused.

Can David please identify the author of the offensive material?

Mason G म्हणाले...

So- the answer to the question is "No."

Eva Marie म्हणाले...

Apparently the guy who made the really offensive comments (probably the ones about the Obamas and LGBTQs) has died.

Eva Marie म्हणाले...

Out of respect for the dead, he won’t be named.

"when just fessing up raises his appeal to Milwaukee vote counters?"

He's a (D). What more do Democrat voters need to know?

Only idiots believe his lies.

Blame it on the dead guy. Works every time.

Nothing I saw offended me. I am mildly offended by the G-rated journalist clutching his pearls and getting his panties in a bunch. His twitter feed is like the Althouse blog on a Tuesday. A little dumber and slightly more sex-obsessed. Slightly.

“Nothing I saw offended me.”
The bad ones have been removed. Preserved on screenshots.

*sigh* Disregard my last comment. Grok says it’s all there.

Nothing-Burger vs Commie Who Hates the Jews

And the nothing-burger is from 16 years ago.

Commie hates the Jews, right now, this week. You want me to get upset about a time-traveling nothing-burger?

Vote Dirt McGirk, he's not a fan of Mao and 9/11

"Controversial old social media account linked to Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Crowley”

He’s toast. Next!

Aggie म्हणाले...

Isn't he a DNC candidate running against Francesca Hong, the DSA candidate? Well, well, well. What have we here?

Aggie म्हणाले...

I mean, has he thrown any bottles at any ladies, lately?

MB म्हणाले...

Shouldn't a journalist have asked an AI to determine if the posts had the same style of writing?

mccullough म्हणाले...

Who gives a shit. Guy & his friends were having some fun.

Great thing about the Trump Era. We don’t cancel people

It's tough enough that when he was in school the dog regularly ate his homework. For the dog now to be operating his Twitter account - that's a dog that's outta control

I can't find a single actual quote so I can't tell whether Crowley probably still thinks the same way (whatever that was) and will revert as soon as he is elected. The black community generally looks down on the gay community but the black political community does not and Crowley probably is caught transitioning from one to the other. So that he would be now safe for the gay community but would be anti-semitic. The point being that, as a leader, he will always be trashing someone, and that someone will be the one whom it is acceptable to trash. That makes him a bully and not Wisconsin Governor material.

You couldn't pay me enough to participate in a group social media account. Of course, I don't participate in social media as an individual, either. But the point remains.
