Here is the press release. Two things. 1) The sign taker in the video says something about the fact that the signs don’t include a candidate’s name. I don’t know enough about sign law to know if that is exculpatory. 2) I feel like the use of “Democrat Party” was an homage to my recent uptake of that shitty usage.
Democrat Party Activist Caught Illegally Taking GOP Campaign Signs
(VIDEO ATTACHED)Newark, DE – The Executive Director of the Delaware Republican Party this morning released the following statement and video of a Democrat Party activist engaged in the illegal theft of GOP campaign signs in Middltown, DE:
“This morning at approximately 4:00AM a video surfaced of a Democratic Party activist engaged in the illegal theft of campaign signs in Middletown, and we are outraged.
“When you only have a track record of high taxes, unemployment and lower wages for private sector employees to stand on the Democrats must resort to breaking the law to win elections because they are scared of being held accountable for their dismal performance.
“There are two hotly contested races in the Middletown area and one has to ask if the Democrat candidates may have had any hand in this activity?.
Not only should every voter be troubled by this situation, but the Democratic Party rank-and-file should be equally outraged at the arrogance of their party leaders who feel they can operate above the law without consequence.
“This incident, as well as the theft of hundreds of other Republican signs throughout New Castle County is much like the repeated irresponsible tax increase passed by the Democrats in Dover over the last few years. They sneak up behind Delaware families when they think they aren’t looking, and steal more money out of their pockets to feed their monster spending programs.
“It appears that mischief night has come early this year in MIddletown”
