Joan Lasonde Demands Schakowsky Resign over James O’Keefe Videos
2016-10-23
[BREITBART] Republican Congressional candidate Joan McCarthy Lasonde, 50, is demanding that nine-term incumbent Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), 72, resign over videos released by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas revealing that her husband, Robert Creamer, was at the center of a plot to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies, in a tactic known as "bird-dogging."

"We called for her to step down yesterday in front of her office," Lasonde told Breitbart News on Thursday. "Willful ignorance is no excuse. The people in our district are upset. The people are horrified. Our phones are ringing off the hook,"

Lasonde claims that the stunning revelations in the video -- which has forced Creamer to resign from his work with the Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as Deplorable, Irredeemable and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Henry Kissinger ...
campaign -- has resulted in constituents to switch their support to her instead of Schakowsky.

"Creamer is obviously guilty," Lasonde said of the veteran reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
activist and convicted felon who is thought to have planned the Democrats’ political strategy during the push for Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
in 2009 and 2010.

"He stepped down. Inciting violence is criminal. Our question is, what was Schakowsky’s part in it? Was she an accomplice? She’s denying that there is even a problem.

"Yesterday, she said it was manufactured and it’s a non-existing scandal. She said that my call for her to step down is ridiculous," Lasonde continued. "If she did not participate, at the very minimum, she needs to come out and denounce it. Instead, she’s pretending that it’s manufactured, that it’s not a scandal."

Creamer is the co-founder of Democracy Partners, a consulting group that, according to O’Keefe’s videos, apparently contracts directly with the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Creamer also affirmed on video that Clinton is aware of "all" of his work, and that Democracy Partners has a daily telephone call with the Clinton campaign to coordinate efforts.

"And then, of course, it’s now coming out, that Schakowksy’s husband visited the White House 342 times since 2009. Are you kidding me? He’s a convicted felon," Lasonde said.

Creamer served several months in federal prison in 2006-7, plus several more of house arrest, for a check-kiting scheme.

Lasonde noted that Schakowsky was the ringleader of protests and riots that led to the cancellation of Trump’s March 11 rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Lasonde was present at that protest and said that "it was ugly." She recalled how Schakowsky herself carried a "Gang of Hate" sign during the rally, which featured Republicans Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s names on it ,and which also bore the name of a Democratic super PAC with which her husband is aligned.

#2  Most likely, she will get assigned to a plum committee leadership position--probably a Soros/CFI bonus for her "good" works. Maybe a nice beach house somewhere. Promises of rewards in a Hillary administration? She might be surprised. Just might be a fed-up-with-this-$hit monster tsunami vote for Trump.
