Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop, R-Wichita, follows a discussion during a meeting of fellow GOP senators Wednesday, March 17, 2021, at the Statehouse in Topeka, Kan. Suellentrop is stepping away from most of his duties as majority leader following his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence and attempting to flee law enforcement.
Mike Kagay, the Republican district attorney in Shawnee County, announced the charges, which stem from Suellentrop’sSuellentrop holds the state Senate’s second-highest leadership job, and the majority leader decides which proposals are debated each day. Suellentrop announced last week that he was stepping away from most of the majority leader’s duties until matters surrounding his arrest are resolved.
Law enforcement radio recordings and 911 calls released by the local sheriff’s department in response to an open records request showed multiple people reported Suellentrop’s white SUV traveling the wrong way on I-470 near a south Topeka exit. That highway loops around the west side of Topeka and connects with I-70, which cuts through the northern part of the city.
Time to resign, Suellentrop!
The GOP once again showing the sort of 'moral leadership' we've come to expect. :/
Arrested again.
Must be a friend of the Biden family.
This is not the first time he was stopped, may be the first time he was arrested.
And a $5K bail? Is this the same bail amount the judge would set for an ordinary citizen for the same violations?
He's part of the states ruling Republican political machine. He will get off very easily. Watch!
🤡
LawAndOrder
AP is triggering you. Hilarious!
Where is all the Republican outrage?! Why aren’t they calling fit his immediate removal from office?! Oh yeah I forgot, it’s another Republican having a bad day! Quick let’s nominate him for a medal for all he’s been through!
these white folks think they untouchable smh
pirateonboard AMERICA 🇺🇸: AMERICA LET’S LOCK THIS BASTARD UP!!! IF IT’S TRUE! MAMPetros MADDOnline Mothers_Against
VoteBluePA So many gop members indicted, will gop be allowed to vote, since most of the gop are criminals
Good
Davis_Hammet You can always count on the Law & Order party to be breaking the law & above the law when caught. Next, look for his party to circle the wagons & claim Jesus supports him.🙄🙄🙄🙄
Do the crime pay the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should be removed from office
Lol. He probably thinks he did nothing wrong.
1jasliz HE IS NOT THE ONLY: The vast majority of GOP members appear to be under the influence of mind-clouding substances. I recommend, checking everyone on their 'consumption habits'.
Was there a dead hooker in the trunk?
He will get off lightly after calling in some favors...
wrong way
He needs to move to South Dakota. KristiNoem Attorney General killed a guy last year and he’s still in office.

Soooo, future career as an advisor on Fox News?
Another exceptional leader.
Trolling the trolls
Lock Him Up!
Not so powerful after all
Lock his fat ass up
I am going to take shot in the dark and say that he must be Republican.
Don't need a lot of words to prove that you're real deal binary trader,because I've seen it all thanks to you and may God bless you mar_vins1
What do you expect from these old GOP farts!
Wrong way driving in Topeka? Too bad he didn't hit any of those God Hates F's church members.
Another example of outstanding Republican leadership! Maybe he’ll get Trumps endorsement!
Delicious!
LOL!
Wow
Can you say gotcha. Yikes hello jackass.
Naw man that didn't happen. We'll just blame the Democrats and it will all go away.
VoteBluePA Didn’t he purchase the Oligarch Free Pass?
Oh yeah, I'm sure the good ol boy network will make sure he pays for this one.
VoteBluePA Huh, well will have to see how Kansas handles this compared to South Dakota.
Yes, SAY HER NAME. It's Ashli Babbitt.
He drove *11 minutes* the wrong way on the highway? It took Diane Schuler only 2 minutes to kill 8 people (including 4 children) driving the wrong way on the Taconic in 2009. The DUI is only a misdemeanor? And he'll probably skate just like his 'deer' GOP pal Jason Ravnsborg.
LOCK HIM UP !!!
Good grief. What a jerk
Get rid of these people! They should not be in public office!
Jesus.
Lock his butt up.
Lead by example 🤐
Republicans aren't sending their best
He seems nice
Lawmaker Breaks The Law... hmmmm that never happens!
lAw AnD oRdEr!!!
Put that thug in prison!
Party of law and order.
Old white lawmaker from Kansas; let see, if he's found guilty, they will simply excuse his criminal behavior as a boys will be boys, better still, blame it on the car manufacturer that built a car that allowed him to drive it while drunk.
Prediction: white man in politics gets away with everything
Look at those fueler red cheeks. Guilty.
Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop NICE WORK!!
Vascular effects of alcohol Facial redness One of the earliest signs of alcohol abuse is a persistently red face due to enlarged blood vessels (telangiectasia). This appears because regulation of vascular control in the brain fails with sustained alcohol intake.
HighwayS? Plural?
Fvcker. Miracle he didn’t kill anyone driving 10 minutes the wrong way on a highway! Kansas drunk driving lawmaker eluded police, arrested.
I am glad the D.A. had the guts to file charges. This could have gone so bad. He was driving the wrong way on the interstate. Think of the lives he could have ruined.
Yet another Republican believing he is above the law!
Please tell me more about how yours is the party of law and order.
Only the best in the GOP. Sarcasm included.
Republicans are playin the old switcheroo. Stalwart buggers are leaving, the new ones want the previous guy’s second daughter’ dowry.
GOP
Good morning! Letusmakeyourich.Together We All Can Make Rich Don't give your past the power to define your future.
Jail him.
Thought he was Sue Ellen Ewing.. - One of the Kansas Legislature's most powerful lawmakers, Gene Suellentrop, faces drunk driving charges as well as a felony offense for trying to elude law enforcement while speeding the wrong way on highways in Topeka.
You mean he didn't get a knee to the neck until his heart stopped? Hmmm...
GET THIS............... Judge let him out in less than 24 hours for 'lack of evidence'....? He drove 10 min the wrong way on I70 (one of the busiest E/W highways in the US). Arrested for DUI and the judge lets him walk. THIS IS FUCKED UP, EVEN IN KS........
GOP family values.
Happens....
matt gaetz: 'pfffff, hold my beer.'
Make him repaint the highway traffic lanes during rush hour.
So he needs to be removed from his seat IMMEDIATELY.
GQP have no respect for law enforcement. They live by entitlement and privilege. Laws are for those other people.
The law and order party 🙄
Walk of shame from the jail.
Law and order for minorities is their motto.
Republicans don’t care about the law, they are the single greatest threat to the safety of the American People

Burn 2 crosses and call me in the morning. I mean; I don't know why being a douchebag doesn't get you crowned King anymore but I guess we got to move on and start acting like fucking adults and shit.
Where’s his friggin cowboy hat?
He will probably get all charges dropped because he is white and rich.
LOL typical american, why is this even news?
Haaaaahahahahaa
Charged ONLY after the public made a huge fuss... He was going to walk.
