TOPEKA, Kan. — Democrats are scrambling to deal with the strong possibility that a 19-year-old candidate for a Kansas House seat in Kansas City will unseat a veteran lawmaker despite making incendiary comments on social media and acknowledging abusive behavior online toward girls in middle school.
“He is not fit to serve in the Legislature,” said Lauren Fitzgerald, a spokeswoman for Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly. Frownfelter won the Kansas City, Kansas, seat in 2006 and hadn’t previously faced a contested primary. He also faced no opponent at all in five of his seven previous elections. Frownfelter said in an interview that he believes that had turnout been higher, he would have won and suggested that young voters came out to back Coleman while older constituents did not vote.
That's just stupid smh
Direct reflection of increasingly stupid voters.
This is the new conservative culture.
Nothing should surprise the electorate after Trump, but I still am saddened (and disgusted) at what our political system has become.
Barnes_Law Well good for him showed some good old fashioned mud slinging is still the way to go to be elected in the Democratic Party... 😂 careful how you raise or let others raise your kids you might not like what you get when they grow up.
Ah, a junior Trump.
They will take care of this provisional ballots so he loses.
Republicans showing their true color.
Smh
Can someone explain how a 19 year old kid is even eligible to get on the ballot? The problem isn’t what he did as a kid, it’s that he’s still a kid!
darned voters!
'Aaron Coleman, a dishwasher and community college student, holds a five-vote lead over seven-term state Rep. Stan Frownfelter, a 69-year-old small business owner.' Kansas Dems should have retired Stan before this.
And how is that ethicly different than any other career politician?
Sounds like the prototypical Democratic candidate? Why are they concerned?
Republicans will love this guy. He's a younger more millennial version of Trump with a leftist agenda.
Prime 2020, undefeated
This is our guy.
So he could very well win b/c the genius Republicans have put no one on the ballot. Wild story. RockySly9 UwantSomaThis BlueFox94 WiwiwjBz proudamericanmm StopandThinkNe1 CarmagueUSA RDolgach
He has only admitted the crimes the Clintons hide. ShadowGate ShadowNet
Have you seen what’s in the White House?
You know what they say folks, never let a good crisis go to waste. Cc: realDonaldTrump GOP
There’s no age limit?
Если отсосет у негра в прямом эфире сто процентов выиграет. Инфа 100.
Does he believe an island can tip over or that Jews control the weather? Because Democrats think those beliefs are fine, among other things. Yes, a US Congressman believes an island can capsize. Don't believe me, check for yourself.
O and what about Bill.
Both the Democrats and Republicans are having issues with these types of fringe reps. This isn't a party issue. This is an American voter issue. The blame goes directly to the electorate. We have the government we deserve. Society is to blame.
I am sorry, but I find this story really funny. They are breaking out the provisional ballots now, so we know how the story will end - wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Shame on the Republicans for not even trying for the seat.
Is it too late to find a republican to run against him?
Sounds like a typical democrat?
Says more about the people of Kansas aka another “fly over state” than it does the 19 year old.
If he gets in have him impeached.
DEMLUSIONALS seem to embrace this behavior..hence Red Avalanche 2020..Silent Majority is HUGE🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
wait, what?
I’ll say it again, I hate 2020
People are tired of these lifetime politicians that work for special interests, collects checks and do insider trading to get rich. Kick them all out
🤮🤣🤣🤣🤣 fuggin democrats! They're like the Florida of politics!
Can we get a R write in campaign please
That’s a huge improvement over a Democrat, they do the same types of things, but never admit it.
TAftermath2020 Why is that any different than any democrat that ran or won based on believing in the Russia collusion hoax? Democrats believe all sorts of things that are contrary to what is true.
He sounds like a typical democrat
Democrats are not worth the toilet paper people fought over. I hate to say it, but almost anything is better than a democrat in office.
Good for him. Incumbents have it too good.
Whoever it is...lets help him win! Can someone in the Democrat/marxist/antifa/blm party please send me a million mail in ballots.
everybody starts somewhere
I can bet he’s a bernie sanders supporter
Hahahaha
Right to the Senate with him!!!
Sounds like he'd fit right in in Congress
Gosh, wonder who influenced that behavior?
With these thoughts he should be defeated
I go back to 'What's the Matter with Kansas?'
This is really something else!
I mean, that's basically how tRump won.
It’s all happening here
Dems be like: Wait! Wait! Wait! We don’t want you on the team until you show a history of trafficking children
The constitution says you have to be 25yrs of age to be a house member 30 to be a senator and 35 to be president. In turn a 19yr old is constitutionally incapable of being in the house regardless of the number of votes he gets
That’s a busy ass 19yr. Old 😳
Only in America
My thought process is how crappy a career politician has to be to lose to a teenager that did those things as a KID.
The GOP is trying to fix a presidential election
This appears to be the new norm. As per Trumps actions do what you what and say what you want because you can and it only concerns some people not all.
This 💩 is all the leftist 💩 the DNC had

No big deal. Same qualifications as our President
Wtf Kansas voters? Seriously, what the absolute fuck?
So a young Trump?
Oh, land of my birth and my beloved Jayhawks ... what is WRONG with you people?!! (I’m reminded of The Wizard of Oz: If (they) only had a brain ...)
Is his last name Kennedy?
reaping what they've sewn
Democrats vote for anything with a (D). Losers
This is so similar to the Q anon candidate in GA. Why are these people even allowed to join either party?
Shocking
So what? DonaldTrump is a cyber bully, along with blackmailing people
'He apologized for the comments and said his past behavior targeting several middle-school girls was that of “a sick and troubled” 14-year-old.'
I really hope Vermin Supreme is still running for office. This is the year...this is definitely the year!
steph93065 If the dems don’t like something, you can be assured it’s something that’s good for the country
Still county is quite literally going off the rails at 100 MPH.
this should read Kansas elects moron and gets exactly what they deserve.
Hahaha you asked for it, you got it Democrat’s
“Officials in their home of Wyandotte County are scheduled to meet Monday to review provisional ballots and decide whether to count them, potentially altering Coleman’s 807-802 lead in voting.” That is the scariest part of this. Vote the clown out next election if you’re not happ
If this is accurate, Dems better do something about this young man.
I hope he wins! I hope he uses TicToc as his platform. Good for him!!!
He admitted to making incendiary comments on social media and acknowledging abusive behavior online toward girls in middle school.....when he was 11-14. A 19 year old dialed into politics is cool with me.
Well doesn’t that just speak volumes about the citizens of Kansas
Humm No position in Congress is safe. The unimaginable is possible
Good maybe the 19 year old can bring to the forefront that the CDC reports that if your under 25 your chances of dying from Covid-19 is 500,000 to 1 If your 15 or younger the CDC reports it is 1 million to 1
That is hilarious!
Wait.. they are talking about his admitted middle school behavior? They must really be shitting their pants right about now 🤣
Lol...they obviously don't trust Stan !!
As awful as this person sounds, at least they’ll be better than a Republican
BOTH parties should be more selective. Outrageous candidates dont deserve the legitimacy.
Omg what the hell I’d happening?!?! This loon and the dumb ass from Georgia14
When your party promotes and encourage vile and violent behavior oh, this is the result. Are you really surprised?
Well at least he's not trying to deny or spin the things he has done, unlike most politicians. He might very well respond well to mentoring by other Dems.
so a gop Tuesday then.
Between this, Trump’s attempt at Autocracy and QAnon getting a foothold, I don’t hold much hope for the future of America. I think we are seeing the death of a super power.
He’s white (I googled it). This is another fine example called white privilege.
And yet, the dems will fail to do the self reflection to determine why a primary challenger with such a background could defeat a 70 year old moderate incumbent. They will avoid that introspection at all costs.
Rupubs do worse in office. Only Dems seem to have consciences. Bullshit colonial screenplay. So done with the GOP
Democrats have wanted candidates that are more Republican so dont complain when you get your wish.
The (female) victim of revenge porn, Katie Hill, gets kicked out of Congress. The (male) perpetrator of revenge porn is welcomed.
Yo, they are telling you up front, the Democrats are going to cheat. They are going to 'review' the votes cast and decide if they should count them. How blatantly obvious they gotta be people. HOLY CRAP
Middle America and those lovely suburbs
You sure he’s not a Republican nut job posing as a Democratic candidate? Sounds pretty fishy to me.
Isn’t middle school revenge porn illegal?
can always 'make sure' she never sees the house floor if u know what i mean. has to be sum1 in the revenge porn ring or sum1 she bullied in the last willing to seek darkside justice. have to think along those lines now.
This stort sounds familiar
2020... this is gonna be a fat fat history book chapter...
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!
WTF is going on in America
I wouldn't worry about it, that's about par for the course. The scummier the better, apparently.
Socrates' screeds against democracy ringing a bit more true right now...
