In cities like Baltimore, MD, it’s not easy for a black Republican to run for office. It may sound like a cliche, but stories like this show that in these cities, the opposition will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo. This reality became even more evident during a Zoom debate between candidates seeking to become the next mayor of the city.
Pastor Shannon Wright is a black Republican candidate who is attempting to end the streak of Democratic domination of the office of mayor. But, as a conservative running in a heavily blue city, she has run into some rather unorthodox challenges.
Last Friday, Wright participated in a Zoom debate with Brandon Scott, a Democrat, and Bob Wallace, an Independent. The virtual event had nearly one hundred people watching. Before the proceedings began, each candidate was given a chance to introduce themselves and give an opening statement. But when it was Wright’s turn to speak, she was interrupted.
“When I started my opening, music started blaring. And I mean like, terroristic level volume like you would see in a movie where they’re using it to be a disrupting factor,” Wright told RedState. “Then this man’s voice came on and said ‘I pledge my life to Pakistan,’ and then the voice just continued, started calling me a ‘n*****.’”
The disruption then turned to racist threats. Wright stated that the voice repeatedly said “I’ll shank you, n*****.” The candidate explained that the individual who interrupted her opening “hijacked my screen and started showing pictures of women in different international attire,” and continually threatened to shank her.”
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
He and Kim Klassik have their work cut out for them. They need our prayers and money.
The Libs cannot let one off their plantation, causes all kind of problems with the rest!
Hmm...that seems like an oversimplification. Has the current mayor been sending money to Pakistan (which is Caucasian, no?)
Elijah was a paragon of virtue for his stance on civil rights and his caring for the people...blah, blah, blah.
The media, the education union, the lack of God, and fathers in the black community is what has brought down the blue cities. The democrats want to buy votes with lies and taxpayer money! I doubt they have even interviewed Pastor Shannon Wright.
Smoke and mirrors imo.
She.
Very bizarre attack...probably coordinated by the wack-job Somali in Congress.
Which Blue State is not a freak State? Seriously?
Who is really in the house? The ones escaping, or the ones who try to drag the escapers back?
Could Shannon Wright have an upset? It would be fun if Shannon and Kim won the election!!
Politics are changed by simple concepts and phases.
You see similar concepts with Gays and Women. Libs create a ‘boogie man’ with an ‘evil program’ to scare each group.
Libs never say a republican has a good program but we can do better, no it is always a scary campaign. Fear is a great motivator.
Has any other BLM-er said anything about pledging his or her life to Pakistan? It doesn’t sound like a rallying cry to me. I’d be surprised if it weren’t a Pakistani.
It appears that his opening was hacked. I don’t think he supports Pakistan. Just another Lib dirty trick.
True enough; but it appears to be a play on Maryland’s old-time nickname, “the Free State.”
I meant the hacker was Pakistani.
Maybe, just another dirty trick from the Libs. Interestingly voters do not seem to understand that if someone will resort to these actions to get in office, what will they do once in that office to their constituents.
