PD: Lee Whitnum arrested, removed from Democratic gubernatorial forum

BROOKFIELD, Conn. (WTNH) - A Democratic candidate for governor had to be dragged off a stage by police Monday night in Brookfield.

Police say 57-year-old Lee Whitnum was taken away and arrested under her legal name, Lisa Baker.

The incident happened before a Democratic gubernatorial forum at Brookfield High School could even begin.

Only some of the many people running for governor were invited to speak at the event. Lee Whitnum was not one of them, but she took the stage anyway.

If you have not heard of Whitnum, she has run for officer before calling herself a progressive Democrat.

On her campaign webpage, she seems to have two major issues.

One is campaigning against Zionism, what she calls the racist policies of Israel's government.

The other is bad judges, specifically the one who presided over her divorce. Whitnum has been arrested several times before, including for allegedly stalking the judge who presided over her divorce case.

Democrats. They think they are above the laws of the land.

Clearly, she was removed because the Democrats couldn’t have anyone tell the truth about their positions. Certainly, none of them could have afforded to debate her on the issues and expose their true positions.

Democrats are not afraid to arrest their enemies. Perhaps the Republicans should be taking notes.

From the (very bad) Photo provided by the Brookfield Police Department at the link she looks very sad and obviously troubled.

Whitnum/Baker ticket will likely be a popular schizophrenic choice.

She sounds like the perfect 21st century democrat to me. She should fit right in.

Yes, not surprising.

Given how kooky most of them are at Yahoo, I can only imagine that Huff Po and DU are insane asylums. They are really .... (pick an adjective).

Could someone legally vote for her twice? Once for each personality?

That kind of whackadoodle and nutty behavior is seemingly embraced among the leftwingers. :-)

She could not be crazier than the current governor or any of the Dem gubernatorial wannabes—and she is way hotter.
