Illinois Democrat ties Waukesha tragedy to Rittenhouse case in mocking posts: ‘Probably just self-defense’

After Sunday’s Christmas parade horror in Waukesha, Wisconsin, an Illinois Democrat appeared to portray the tragedy as a form of payback for Friday’s acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha. "It was probably just self-defense," read one of a series of mocking social media posts from Mary Lemanski, who is listed as the social media director for the Democratic Party in DuPage County, Illinois. Lemanski also describes herself as an acting student with the famed Second City comedy group. "Living in Wisconsin, he probably felt threatened," read another post attributed to Lemanski, referring to the SUV driver in the Waukesha case. WAUKESHA PARADE HORROR: PERSON OF INTEREST IN CUSTODY, FATALITIES REPORTED "I’m sure he didn’t want to hurt anyone," she added. "He came to help people." The messages appeared to mock the self-defense argument that Rittenhouse and his defense team made during their recent trial – an argument with which a Wisconsin jury apparently agreed as they found the 18-year-old not guilty of murder in connection with two shooting deaths last year. "The blood of Kyle Rittenhouse’s victims is on the hands of Wisconsin citizens," she writes at one point, "even the children." Lemanski appeared to attempt a less snarky but still judgmental tone in another message. "I’m sad," she wrote. "I’m sad anytime anyone dies. I just believe in Karma and this came around quick on the citizens of Wisconsin." "You reap what you sow, Wisconsin," she wrote in another post. And later: "It’s sad people died, but when you open the door to vigilante justice, everyone seems threatening." In a self-written 2019 biography on the website of the DuPage County Democratic Party, Lemanski is described in the headline as "DuPage Dems’ Difference Maker."

The Democrat/communists think they can continue to poke the bear in the eye and nothing will happen.

What did the murder of schoolchildren have to do with “karma”, witch?? I would demand the removal of this tramp from her party position but unfortunately, she is representative of the views of the vast majority of that party and I’m certain they are perfectly comfortable with her poisonous mouth.

Are those on the left, liberals because they’re nuts/insane or are they insane/nuts because they’re liberals? Either way they are mentally deranged.

The leadership of the party is doing everything possible to angry Democratic voters to keep them coming back to the party.

For a long time. The country needs to completely reject these people from society, treat them like pedophiles, make them out to be completely unacceptable despite what the media lies about. Communism is responsible for 100 million deaths and counting. Why anyone promoting it doesn’t have the crap beat out of them is beyond me.

You wanna know what caused the civil war? It's stuff like this that caused the civil war. "Otherizing" people and making hate grow for them eventually boils into full conflict.

It’s already happening . They are going to get flushed down the toilet in 2022 and Trump will be POTUS in 2024. There a tiny fraction of the nation that is as blatantly tone deaf as this woman. They get their 100 likes and their name in news for a day…. Then get washed next election. Or at the very least become a lame duck. Let them continue to give themselves the rope to lynch themselves in realm of public opinion.
