Supporters flocked toward Yemi Mobolade, Colorado Springs’ first Black mayor, when he was in the running following what appeared to be a serious racial threat. However, the threat in question may have been less of a threat and more of a cruel campaign strategy, police say.
Conservatives are going to eat this story up so hard.
His Wikipedia page lists his political affiliation as “independent” and he beat a Republican in the runoff.
However, his dad worked for an oil company and his whole page is full of stuff about how super-religious he is. Plus, he beat a Republican in the runoff, in a super-conservative city that had only ever elected Republican mayors up to that point. Frankly, it’s pretty clear which way he leans, and it ain’t Democrat.
So yeah, you’re right: Conservatives are going to eat this story up, and they’re going to be just as dishonest about it as usual.
Smells like a wolf in sheepskin, doesn’t it?
Reminds me of the “protests” outside of E3 when the game Dantes Inferno was shown in 2010. EA thought it would be a great idea to just, hire a bunch of people to take a protest that played into the games themes. So they’d each be holding stuff about the 7 sins, layers of hell. All that shit. It was not a good strategy. Faking shit to win never is, even if it works once, it means it likely won’t ever again.
