State Rep. Attica Scott was arrested for rioting last year but charges were dropped

A defund the police activist in Louisville, Ky., has thrown down the primary gauntlet against the area’s sixth-term Democratic congressman.

Democrat state Rep. Attica Scott has officially announced a primary challenge against the Kentucky congressional delegation’s only Democrat, Rep. John Yarmuth.

Scott, who dropped her first campaign ad with her announcement Wednesday morning, said Louisville "needs a leader who sees its true colors and understands the experiences of all of our neighbors."

In the ad, the state representative gave her vocal support behind the highly criticized Green New Deal...

...Additionally, Scott is an opponent of the filibuster and supports the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), demanding ICE’s erasure on social media multiple times, as well.

“State Rep. Attica Scott was arrested for rioting last year but charges were dropped.”

Black Democrat women are untouchable.

Yarmuth is a major league a**hole. He fully deserves this.

No, Yarmuth is a leftist (I don’t know much about him) but I don’t know whether he is a Bolshevik or Menshivik. Scott is a dangerous nutcase leftist, racist and possible Marxist.

Let’s see what their campaign platforms are and then pass judgment about where they are relating to Stalin, Ho, Mao, and Tupac’s mother.

Should be interesting. A black marxist JUST MIGHT be able to knock off Yarmuth in rat primary. And a Republican JUST MIGHT edge out a black marxist.
A bit of history about KY-3:
For decades it covered the city limits of Louisville and was held comfortably by demonrat Romano “Rom” Mazzolli. Then, after the 1990 census KY lost a CD so the remaining CDs had to necessarily grow. So KY-3 grew to encompass all of Jefferson County and became more competitive and Mazzoli retired. So for the next couple decades the seat went back and forth between the 2 parties. However, since about the time of barky’s usurpation of the WH, the district has gone blue again and Yarmuth has held the seat by comfortable margins.

'Attica'?

How fitting, to be named after a prison synonymous with rioting.
