19-year-old candidate leading in local Kansas race admits to revenge porn, blackmail
TOPEKA, Kan. — Democrats are scrambling to deal with the strong possibility that a 19-year-old candidate for a Kansas House seat in Kansas City will unseat a veteran lawmaker despite making incendiary comments on social media and acknowledging abusive behavior online toward girls in middle school.
Aaron Coleman, a dishwasher and community college student, holds a five-vote lead over seven-term state Rep. Stan Frownfelter, a 69-year-old small business owner. Officials in their home of Wyandotte County are scheduled to meet Monday to review provisional ballots and decide whether to count them, potentially altering Coleman's 807-802 lead in voting.
Coleman is running a liberal platform that includes universal health coverage, eliminating college tuition, defunding the police and legalizing marijuana. But he received more attention for a social media post suggesting he would “laugh and giggle” if a former GOP state lawmaker died of COVID-19, another post endorsing abortion up to the moment of birth and a third acknowledging that allegations that he engaged in online bullying, blackmail and revenge porn were true. He apologized for the comments and said his past behavior targeting several middle-school girls was that of "a sick and troubled” 14-year-old.
Some Democrats are struggling with the possibility that with no Republican on the ballot in the 37th District this fall, Coleman could sit in the House come January. Frownfelter argues that Coleman's nomination could hurt Democrats' efforts to pick up seats in the GOP-controlled Legislature.
“He is not fit to serve in the Legislature,” said Lauren Fitzgerald, a spokeswoman for Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly.
Coleman also ran as an independent write-in candidate for governor in 2018. He attributed the results of the House primary to his door-to-door campaigning and said in an email to The Associated Press that he was “absolutely shocked” by the results.

3. Ya, when was 14
I'm just glad i didn't have social media when I was a teen. (I'm pretty sure I'm not alone)
But with that being said yes, he just might still be too immature for the state legislature but good for him for being involved and trying to make a difference. We are much better for their involvement!! And I say good luck to him. I hope he wins.

4. So you have no problems with revenge porn?
So if someone says they are in favor of MFA, free college, and pot legalization, then you will just disregard all of the other disgusting, misogynistic behavior?
Creepy Joe pinned a staffer up against a corridor wall and jammed his fingers up her vagina and nobody seems to mind so what's the big deal?

10. He spread a naked photo around of a girl because she wouldn't give him more naked photos.
That is NOT “Boys being boys”.
Social media is not the ****ing problem here.
Red food coloring and cheating on tests my ass. For ****’s sake.
C'mon man!

Hoping those who disagree with them die and using donor lists to out those opposed to liberal doctrine are all things the primitives applaud. Not sure how online bullying and revenge porn crossed some moral line with liberals. Usually that’s a resume enhancer with them.
