Whidbey Island candidate: US Rep deserves 'firing squad'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

OAK HARBOR — A candidate for the 10th Legislative District said U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell “should be front of a firing squad for your treason” in a post that got her banned from Twitter in 2021.

Carrie Kennedy, who narrowly beat out fellow Republican and Arlington City Council member Yvonne Gallardo Van-Ornam in a three-way primary in August, will face Democrat Clyde Shavers in November’s general election.

In a brief call Friday afternoon, Kennedy initially denied making the posts. She then said she needed more time to respond, as she was stuck in traffic. She added, “I have no idea if my account has been hacked.” The Daily Herald reached out to Kennedy on Thursday evening.

She added: “Anything that you do post is not going to be fair, because I haven’t had a chance to even look at what you’re talking about.”

Full disclosure, I grew up in Oak Harbor. While the community tended to be a bit conservative, I don't think I ever met a nut job like this lady.

1. As a Washingtonian, I must say that I'm a little suprised. Our home-grown nut jobs do seem to be.....

......a little less frothy than the national average.

2. Dude, have you ever been to the East side?

Have you heard of Matt Shea? He was my rep.

3. I live in Spokane and I'd forgotten about Matt Shea. Silly me. I guess I was thinking that we don't have folks....

......of the Boebert, Marge Green or Gaetz caliber of the crazy. Shea could have made the big leagues, but secession to a 51st state with Northern Idaho was just too silly.
