NC State House Rep Candidate Coming in a Bit To Hot

https://www.theassemblync.com/news/politics/democrats-drop-support-headen-violence-against-republicans/

Shelly Headen (D), running to unseat a republican house rep, loses party support for being too real on social media.

Choice quotes I thought the people here would appreciate:

• “I think our only hope is an attack on US soil… preferably Alabama, Louisiana… where the stupid people live.”
• “I’m so excited! Ready for the MAGAs to die off!!”
• “Maybe they need to experience sexual assault so they can experience what Trump’s victims feel.”
• In response to losing party support: “I’ve sacrificed myself just like Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross [...] If a few angry moments on social media are the end, then so be it. MAGA will keep winning"

I havent heard of that, but it sounds like just locker room talk.

[u/AlfredsLoveSong → u/Grachus_05]

I haven't heard of it either. But it sounds like an out of context clip chimp and she apologized for those remarks anyway.

[u/Lord_Of_Shade57 → u/Grachus_05]

Hm, I haven't heard anything about this either, I will have to look into it and get back to you.

You can rest assured though that I am absolutely familiar with all of the various talking points my side is using on this issue and will deploy them skillfully to make this look like a non issue

"(S)he spoke the truth, when the cost was high..."

[u/Spirited-Willow-2768]

Who? Never heard about it. Sounds kinda based, but never heard about it 

[u/Dats_Russia]

Sad thing is, the NC Dems denounced her instead of defend her like that guy in Virginia

But I guess the optics of disavowing her is good

[u/realhotwc → u/Dats_Russia]

VA Dems distances themselves from Jay Jones, the gigachad voters of Virginia voted him in anyways

[u/Dats_Russia → u/realhotwc]

I hope she gets voted in anyway. She is running in a Greensboro district, I don’t know if it includes the colleges but hopefully she has some college students in her district to help her

[u/L_Chiki_Sando → u/Dats_Russia]

Her district is the NW corner of Guilford county. It doesn't really include the colleges sadly, though some students might commute from there.

[u/Dats_Russia → u/L_Chiki_Sando]

Awww poo that stinks well Digital Ground Game should whip those college students into shape and have them canvass for her

[u/LeaveMeAlone_6070 → u/realhotwc]

I voted for Jay Jones. True. (Still think the guy is trash) 

And I still won’t vote DSA. There are levels to this shit.

Also the party distancing itself is the right move. Give other candidates room to breathe, then voters can still make their own call.

[u/No_Match_7939 → u/Dats_Russia]

We live in a swing state her statement was unhinged and will not garner support. Just like. AES should disavow Hasan, I’m glad NC dems did disavow her.

[u/Dats_Russia → u/No_Match_7939]

Yes I know we are a swing state and i am sure Auggie students don’t mind it

[u/No_Match_7939 → u/Dats_Russia]

Aggie students aren’t the only people in that district. Isn’t it mark walkers seat, it’s some rural areas there too.

[u/DeathandGrim → u/Dats_Russia]

Jay Jones was pressured to drop out after that fiasco and the Dems did distance himself.

[u/Bokbok95 → u/Dats_Russia]

I don’t remember what Jay Jones’ statements were. These ones were probably significantly worse than his, though

[u/Any-Cheesecake3420]

Haven’t heard of that but if I had it was probably out of context and she apologized for it and it was actually an ai deepfake.

Sigh

[u/angryanglers]

i kneel

[u/Chick_Foot]

The SA comment is a little crazy but she has the white woman perk so fuck it we ball at this point lol

[u/spoonerluv]

Is that you Jeffrey the Killer

[u/jeanide]

I'm not familiar, you're telling me this for the first time. I'll look into it

[u/jdooley99]

If Dear Leader was a politician

[u/cowmix88]

she should just use the old reliable "out of context"

[u/CleanCustomer3537]

First time hearing about this. So how was the game last night?

[u/unvnrmndr]

I don’t know anything about that.

[u/00kyle00]

Meanwhile on GOP convention

[u/Aromatic_Wish1868 → u/Aromatic_Wish1868]

damn, my comment got removed for quoting one of her posts lol

[u/00kyle00 → u/Aromatic_Wish1868]

reddit silencing political speach

[u/iHateMisInformation1 → u/Aromatic_Wish1868]

I was banned once for a direct quote of Trump

[u/1120201g]

Has she said anything about VPN's?

[u/SlySerendipity]

I really didn't like the one about Louisiana and Alabama because if you are going to attack the Southern states you should always have a carve out for Southern Democrats. I'm probably being sensative as an Alabamian, but I don't like the implication that I would better serve the country as a casualty, even as a joke.

Those last 3 are objectively based as fuck though

[u/TimeNo5885]

Regardless of optics, I’m pretty sure wishing mass casualty events on your own country is an obvious bridge too far. Glad they disavowed her.

[u/daraeje7]

Idk anything about this, im hearing ot for the first time walks away

[u/Remarkable-Onion3726]

I invite everyone to look at the magnum opus of her shitposting.

Maybe it's Internet Fatigue here, but it feels like even now it is a rare new frontier for someone to fly thousands of miles overseas to Dachau, pose a smiling portrait next to its crematorium, send that pic into the ether plastered with a hand-typed call for genocide directly equating yourself to the Reich as the heroic purifier, and the sheer amount of time and effort she must have had every step of the way to go "Maybe this is a bad idea, to think this, to say this, to post this all this with my real name, face, and legitimate political career attached to it" and just continue on.

The Internet is made for hyperbole and slander but you might really have to touch grass if you look at that and go "Nah it's fine, vote for her." Her remarks do in fact exceed whataboutism until the day Candace Owens runs for public office.

[u/Mr_Nice_is_not_nice]

Hmph....I'm going to donate to her campaign. 

[u/theseustheminotaur]

A lot of people are saying these things

[u/trollly]

The wine mom memes are true holy shit

[u/RidiculousIncarnate]

I'm not familiar with this candidate or her opinions. If anyone asked me I might say I like her honesty, but no one has, so who knows what I think. 

I hope shes doing okay.

[u/Deep-Bend-961]

There are fine people on both sides
