If you’re a politician and you’ve got a deep darkish secret in your previous about, say, a hit-and-run accident, listed here are few stuff you shouldn’t do in your marketing campaign:
You shouldn’t dismiss the tales as “rumors from less than reliable sources.”
But in case you’re going to stay with the it’s-just-a-rumor canard, then you definitely shouldn’t concurrently midway admit that it’s in truth true by dismissing it as only a “misunderstanding.”
You shouldn’t go on social media and pompously declare that “I don’t respect the choice of those who choose to drive recklessly.”
And most significantly, when somebody mentions your leaving-the-scene rap on Facebook, you shouldn’t reply by issuing this problem: “Do you have an accident report?”
Because, as a matter of reality, they do have an accident report!
I suppose Teresa English, Democrat candidate for state rep in Billerica, didn’t get the memo, as a result of she did the entire above, so what selection did the native Republicans have?
They launched the accident report.
It seems, this Teresa English was concerned in a hit-and-run again in 2003. Her title was Pruett on the time, and right here’s the final line from the Newport News, Va., incident report that she challenged her opponent, state Rep. Marc Lombardo, to launch.
“Warrants for Ms. Pruett were obtained, served and she was released on $3,000 unsecured bond.”
Three thousand bucks — that’s not a low bond, particularly for 2003.
After denying all the pieces, as soon as the incident report was posted on the Massachusetts GOP web site, Teresa lastly admitted to it … up to some extent.
“My car hit another car.” Get that? She didn’t hit one other automotive, her automotive did it.
“I stopped, pulled over,” she instructed the Herald, “and did not encounter the other driver.”
Um, that’s not what the police report says. According to the cops, the sufferer “advised that he pulled over and the other vehicle involved continued southbound.”
According to the would-be legislator: “I didn’t think about it until a police officer showed up at my door a week later.”
Funny, as a result of the cops “observed damage to Ms. Pruett’s vehicle consistent with the damage to” the sufferer’s car.
English didn’t return telephone calls from me asking for remark. But she has accused Republicans of “weaponizing” her arrest, or effective, or transferring violation, or no matter she’s now claiming her hit-and-run was.
This is what Democrats all the time do once they get busted. They assault their foes for “weaponizing” the scandal. That rattling GOP — all the time seizing and pouncing on Democrat embarrassments.
Poor Teresa — she had such excessive hopes. She appeared to have the proper credentials for a contemporary Massachusetts Democrat candidate.
Like the faux Indian, Michelle Wu, Ayanna Pressley, Katherine Clark, to call however a couple of, she’s a drifter who blew into the state and determined that politics was higher than working for a residing. She’s from Georgia, though she had Texas plates on her automotive when she was residing in Virginia.
According to her LinkedIn profile she is now, amongst different issues, a “Community Leader and Educator.”
But apparently being an “educator” doesn’t imply that she in truth teaches.
“Leaving the classroom to advocate for better teaching conditions, more equitable education for all, and improved funding.”
As all Democrats know, advocating for one thing is rather a lot higher than truly working at no matter it’s you’re advocating for. For one factor, the hours are rather a lot higher.
She was within the navy, which till this week was yet one more one in all her alibis for why what she admits she did couldn’t have occurred.
“If I had done what the @massgop has accused me of doing, my rank and clearance would have been stripped.”
By the best way, in case you’re a voter in Billerica, it’s best to know that Teresa may be very pleased with her affiliation with Rep. Ayanna “Defund the Police” Pressley, previously of Chicago, now of Dorchester.
“I’m honored,” English stated final month, “to have taken the Pressley Policy Pledge!”
That pledge contains endorsing cancellation of scholar debt, a “federal job guarantee” (everyone may be an advocate!) and the “People’s Justice Guarantee.”
I’m positive Teresa might bond with Ayanna’s jailbird husband. They can commiserate collectively over the indignities of getting lugged by the native constabulary.
If you’re serious about her academic credentials, English has studied at each Clayton State University in addition to the world-renowned Middle Georgia State University. She has a grasp’s diploma from the very prestigious “Western Governors University” in Utah. It’s a web-based college, if you already know what I imply.
Teresa English should really feel actually silly, as a result of how usually do Democrats ever get busted within the media nowadays?
Even essentially the most horrific acts by Democrats, a lot worse than her hit-and-run, are routinely lined up, or completely broomed, by state-run media. Right now, what appears to be a significant unreported scandal is being spiked by a significant native media outlet.
You see, it includes a candidate who’s a member of a protected class, a politician who has been endorsed by the wokest of the woke in native politics.
If the story have been to be reported now, earlier than the first, the Beautiful People who’re supporting this reprobate (in addition to sliming his opponent) could be much more embarrassed than they have been when Monica Cannon-Grant was indicted, in any case their slobbering hagiography about that race-hustling grifter.
Let’s see if this scoop ever runs — my wager is that it received’t, however I hope I’m improper.
As for Teresa English, possibly you’d have higher luck in politics in case you moved again to Virginia, or Georgia or Texas or wherever the hell you parachuted in from. Maybe you possibly can “advocate” for Beto or Stacey Abrams.
But Teresa, if anyone in Billerica this weekend asks you about that hit-and-run that you just tried to say by no means occurred, possibly it’s best to simply inform them that the native Republicans “sideswiped” you — similar to you probably did to that different driver in Newport News.
