State Representative Rebecca Reimer had strong words for KELOland over their story platforming a sex offender running for Governor:
“I’m disappointed in KELOLAND News for giving a platform to a gubernatorial candidate who is on South Dakota’s Sex Offender Registry.
As someone who represents Chamberlain and stands with survivors, this coverage was disrespectful and harmful. Survivors deserve to be protected.
I’ve sent a letter to KELOLAND urging them to issue a written apology. South Dakotans deserve better.”
Which candidate is this?
Every Republican based in history and a certain list? 😜
Ive long thought Rebecca should be speaker or majority leader. She would unify the divide. She’s not in either camp.
Terry Philip Gleason.
(I posted on it back in May, which is where they clearly cribbed it from … https://dakotawarcollege.com/independent-candidate-for-governor-files-statement-of-organization-to-run-for-office-except-he-might-have-some-challenges-to-overcome/ )
Good for Rep Reimer calling this out!!
Bobble head Brandei must be conflicted with yet another stud like Shad Olsen and Toby Doedon for her to gush over.
Leaving aside the fact that KELO can feature anybody they want, and if he meets the legal requirements to have his name on the ballot, they should treat him like every other candidate, it is disturbing that a member of the state legislature would be telling them otherwise. She could ask them to let her appear in a rebuttal feature and that’s it.
But could we have more information about the offense that put him on the registry?
He’s 44 now, was convicted in 2000 when he was 19? How old was he when the rape occurred, 17 or 18? It matters. And was it forcible rape or statutory rape? That matters too. Most of us know the difference between sexual assault and consensual sex between teenagers.
statuatory rape
