I couldn't even make this shit up.
Kentucky Senate race has a debate. Republican campaign puts a tape recorder under a notebook on the Democrats podium, in order to capture what he says under his breath. After the debate, the Democrat takes the recorder and gives it to a staffer. The data gets erased, and the recorder is returned. The Republicans then file criminal charges against the Democratic candidate, for petty larceny and destruction of property.
Quote: | Senate President David Williams, who attended the debate, called [the Democratic candidate] Lunsford’s actions “a political dirty trick.”
Additionally, he said, Lunsford “is trying to interfere with the free flow of debate during a political campaign. … Mr. Lunsford will be lucky if someone doesn’t swear out a warrant against him by the end of the day.” |
What the fuck is he talking about? This shit is bizarre. |
