State Senator “Sticky Tom” Pischke is telling KELOland news that he’s going to actually look into whether he might legally contest his ban from the House Floor after his incident where he was banned from the House Floor because of his recent unwelcome conduct with a syrup bottle.
“I have a member who is very offended,” Bartels said.
Asked whether he did it, Pischke said, “Video doesn’t lie.” He put the bottle of Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup on Conzet’s desk at about 12:30 p.m. Monday. He said it was meant “as a gift.” As for the discipline, Pischke said, “I just think this is completely overreaction.”
and..
Pischke said he’s now looking into a legal case where a previous House speaker, Steve Haugaard, banned South Dakota Municipal League lobbyist Yvonne Taylor from the House floor. Taylor eventually won.
“I don’t know if I want to go down there, but it’s a possibility,” Pischke said.
The “gift” he had to hide as he went into the chamber.
I suspect this would go the same way Tom’s attempt at having most of the Senate arrested went last year.
Session is about finished and it will most likely be his last after being voted out.
I thought being offended was for the woke libs, what is going on with the snowflakes in Pierre?
Good thing Schoenbeck never put syrup on anyone’s desk.
Evidently that’s the line you can’t cross.
There needs to be a committee formed to which wackadoodles are assigned and issued crayons and placemats.
Doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor or appreciate self-deprecation anymore? Especially when it includes a free bottle of pancake syrup? I give Pitchkey credit for making a joke instead of being one. Conzet could have at least responded “your joke fell as flat as a pancake” instead of showing a total lack of common sense and proportion.
However, then when “caught” with the prank, responding with “I thought she’d like it” eerily sounded what a rapist says when caught.
You just can’t make this crap up.
Wait so he tried to put it on her desk… surreptitiously?
“syrup-titiously” LOL
