CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Community activists and people of color are denouncing a state lawmaker they once considered an ally but who now stands accused of intimidating a young Black man and endangering his life.
Rep. Nicole Klein-Knight, D-Manchester, was removed from the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee on Monday at the request of Democratic leaders after a dozen Black, brown and Indigenous community organizers issued a letter condemning her.
The group said that Klein-Knight had worked with many of the signers in the past, but that her behavior in recent months has become alarming and “increasingly dangerous,” culminating in an episode at the Statehouse this month.
According to the letter, Klein-Knight accosted a young Black organizer after he testified on a bill, using a racial slur multiple times to make her point. Though the slur wasn’t directed at the young man, she continued to use it after he asked her to stop, and she later called security, according to the letter.
“Her habitual aggression and disregard is tearing apart the progressive community in NH, endangering BIPOC organizers’ lives and livelihoods and cannot be ignored any longer,” the group said.
Klein-Knight, who is in her second term, did not respond to a request for comment, nor did the young man. He has filed an ethics complaint with Statehouse officials, according to Alissandra Rodriguez-Murray, one of the organizers who signed the letter.

Red on Red get the popcorn
Funny that this doesn’t work in the opposite direction.
“You’re white, go to hell!”
— black activist Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price
Re-elected time after time.
Give them each a rusty steak knife and have them fight it out.
What term did she use?
I’m assuming she said Nagger.
I read the article and I suspect that we aren’t being given all of the facts. I wouldn’t be surprised if the young man she directed her remarks at might have been blocking her or verbally harassing or menacing her.
Oops. Her white privilege is showing.
She’s got that ‘you don’t matter’ syndrome. Meaning, I don’t mind because you don’t matter. This arrogance transends all color.
She doesn’t have very good decorum, to be eating on video. She’s gotten way too comfortable with her position.
It’s funny how similarly this article reads to the commie stuff I read in my college days. I fully expected the author to throw out the word ‘proletariat’.
“I’m assuming she said Nagger.”
Who knows? A hockey player was cut for making the Hulk Hogan stance which he had used before after a fight.
I liked the hockey player who said “He can have my sloppy seconds”.
His teammates hated him. He was making fun of a girlfriend. Guys get really defensive.
My favorite was “Go have another donut”.
“Red on Red get the popcorn”
Even better that that, pretentious people with hyphenated names vs. pretentious people with hyphenated names. Better get extra!
I’m still trying to figure out if its genetics or upbringing that makes leftists pretentious a-holes with zero self-awareness

A holier-than-thou attitude. Virtue signalling. Arrogance. Power hungry. Unrefined. Impolite. I could go on... .
It just doesn’t get any better than that. 😄
It is probably both nature and nurture.
Good parents can train potential sociopaths to keep their toxic attitudes to themselves.
