A Republican congressional candidate in Florida from the party of Law and Order, was caught on police body camera threatening to end an officer's career.
Last Monday, the police officer pulled Republican congressional candidate Martin Hyde over for allegedly driving 57mph in a 40 zone, and was also seen texting on his phone. He was ticketed for not having his vehicle registration.
"In a combative exchange that followed, he refused to cooperate, threatened her job and asked her if she was behaving that way because she was an immigrant. I’ll just call your chief. How’s that? You know who I am, right? Hyde asked the officer after she explained why she’d stopped him. When the officer returned to Hyde’s vehicle with a citation, he told her he’d called her supervisor. I just spoke to your boss,” Hyde said. Is it your Russian immigrant status that makes you treat people like this?”
So this GOP House Candidate, Martin Hyde, born in the United Kingdom, actually had the audacity to call out a police officer immigration status.
If he acts this way as a candidate, imagine how he'll be if elected. Anyone with an attitude as his should not hold any political office. The good old boys from the GOP really know how to Back the Blue.
btw, this exemplary GOP House Candidate is backed by Roger Stone and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. He is the one on the left in the second picture next to Flynn.
I hate when people say "Do you know who I am?" and expect preferential treatment. It's despicable. We ought to shame such people.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is despicable.
