Minnesota candidate posts revenge porn on campaign blog after wife's restraining order
New York Daily News ^ | 7/16/2018 | Thiomas Laforgia

An "unhinged" Minnesota city council candidate is under investigation for posting a topless photo of his wife to his official campaign website in response to an order of protection she'd filed against him.

In a now-deleted July 14 blog entry, David Martinez of St. Paul included the picture alongside a heated commentary on the couple's marital troubles and a copy of the restraining order cops had served him one day earlier.

Martinez has a "history of restraining me physically against my wishes and forcing himself on me," his estranged wife wrote in the document, in which she requested — and was granted — full temporary custody of their two children.(snip)

Martinez, in his response, said his wife of 13 years had fabricated the claims.(snip)

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter quickly called on Martinez to bow out of the Ward 4 race after news of the post surfaced.

Martinez's despicable dispatch marks a new low in a campaign already beset by staggeringly poor publicity.

He was arrested and banned from the city's libraries earlier this month after aiming a vulgar tirade at staffers and loudly accusing a security guard of racism for booting an alleged property vandal.

"If you touch me, I'll take you out!" he shouted at a George Latimer Central Library employee (snip)

The next day, Martinez was ejected from a Minnesota Twins game in Minneapolis and barred from the ballpark for a year.

Martinez posted footage from that encounter to YouTube.

"Don't touch me, you're about to get smacked," Martinez is seen telling a security guard in the footage. "I'll f---ing knock you out, you old p---y."

"I was assaulted by the security team at Target Field," Martinez wrote in the video's description field. "No wonder people of color do not attend Minnesota Twins baseball games!"

Democrat.

Not mentioned anywhere in the story.

It took a fair amount of searching other new stories about this, in fact, to learn that he's a Democrat.

Looks like the kid who lucked out and married up. Probably picked on. A D&D nerd and perv?

Obviously unhinged and worthy of a restraining order.

Wait one minute! I see the pic of this guy in post #2 - he’s as white as Talcum X. He’s really claiming to be a POC!?

LOLOLOLOL

Thanks to the liberals' constant drumbeat of sexualizing everything, pictures of a topless woman are hardly "click worthy" anymore. What a chump.

Do people still use the word "cad" anymore? That is what this clown is. Although the word "cad" has been debased too, "oh you naughty boy! wink wink". Not good advertising copy for consumption by potential girlfriends either …

First thing that jumped out at me as well.

We are all wise to it...it would be hilarious if it weren’t so blatant shielding of the Left by the media.

It is a rarity when it is a Democrat and they DO list it.

He’s almost as White as the Fake Mexican, Beto O’Rourke, running for the Senate in TX against Sen. Cruz.

Martinez = POC. FYI, people from Northern Spain, (for example Castile and Aragon) look just like their neighbors across the Pyrenees.
