The Mary Peltola Trainwreck Might've Gotten Worse

This woman has become a disaster. It’s part of an embarrassing track record for Democrats in some crucial Senate races. In Maine, they had Graham Plater, who had Nazi tattoos, booted only to replace him with Troy Jackson, whose relationships would put 23 and Me through a loop. James Talarico has gone missing in Texas, which is fitting since he has an affinity for all things woke and weird; he thinks God is non-binary. And now Mary Peltola, the former Alaska congresswoman, is vying to unseat Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, who puts the ‘temp’ in temperamental.

The New York Times had a lengthy article based on the accounts of two dozen former staffers about how her brief tenure in DC was marred by allegations of abusing her aides, verbally and physically. She denied shoving a staffer but called some of them “retarded” and “f****ts. She fired her top staffers ahead of the Alaska primaries.

Sounds like the dems have another winner on their hands. She puts the wack in doodle! Just vote for the right Dan when you vote. How cheesy is that they have two persons with names so similar that the middle name is the decider.

yeah but if NO ONE in the media in Alaska or anywhere else is covering it, its like it never happened. Just like with Talafreako, NO ONE in the media is asking for proof that he was really sick, if he was really in urgent care in Dallas he should have paperwork proving that, if he were a Republican they would already have leaks, sources, but since its a Dem, NOTHING, not one question that is the job of the media, to protect Dems and keep them in power

Hey, it worked for joe biteit one time. Basement campaigning. It was pretty odd that tallywacko vanished and nobody noticed. For two weeks? WTAAF? Sort of regardless of all the advances economically, the only thing the lame stream is shouting is GAS PRICES ARE TOO HIGH!!!!!! 🤬

They’re Democratic staffers. She might simply have been speaking the truth.
