Drunk Democratic House hopeful verbally berated girls at party, parent says
A Valentine's Day weekend sleepover of 12- and 13-year-old girls in the Oklahoma City area took a turn for the worse when Democratic House candidate Abby Broyles got drunk and verbally berated several of them, parents say.

Broyles is the likely Democratic nominee in reconfigured Oklahoma's 5th Congressional District, covering part of Oklahoma City, the state's capital and largest population center. Broyles, an attorney and former local television news anchor, faces an uphill battle against first-term GOP Rep. Stephanie Bice as the new lines during the redistricting process shed heavily Democratic parts of Oklahoma City.

First, in addition to berating the girls, she makes a bigoted remark:
Multiple accounts corroborated that Broyles became intoxicated and verbally disparaged some of the girls in attendance, saying she called one girl an "acne f*****," another girl a "Hispanic f*****," and a third girl a "judgy f*****,"

Second, she lies about even being there:
Broyles at first denied the allegations altogether and said she was not at the home that evening and was out of town. But Broyles changed her story in the KFOR interview.

Third she deflects blame *not her fault*:
...blaming it on alcohol consumption in combination with medication she had "never taken before."

and...
She apologized to the families but underscored she was "not in her right mind" due to a combination of substances.

"I would never, ever, say something hurtful like those things," Broyles added.

Democrats will probably elect her in a landslide...she's one of them!

You're "outing" a tryhard candidate. "Uphill battle" (Source #1) doesn't even begin to describe the Oklahoma 5th this year.

But this is what I expect from a @Schism thread. Nothing but the lowest hanging fruit.

OK-05 was previously a competetive district in 2018, but after the 2020 Census and re-districting by state Republicans it went on to become a Trump+19 district.

Even if it was still a competetive district this year, a Democrat would have had no chance because this year is a R wave.

Nonetheless, a slutty behaviour from her.

Oklahoma is another example of how re-dictricting sucks when it's done by a majority party in a state:

OK has 5 congressional seats and the state usually votes ca. 65% Republican and 35% Democratic in statewide elections (President, Governor, Senate).

Until 2020, the 5th district was roughly even with Rs holding it until 2018 when Kendra Horn won it. In 2020, Republican Stephanie Bice won it back.

Now, the Republicans in the state carved out the Democratic areas and put them into other - heavily R districts - so that the 5th became a diehard R district too.

Therefore, in November, all 5 districts will go R with at least 60%, if not more.

Despite Dems usually getting 35% in the state, they will get zero of 5 seats, "thanks" to unfair re-districting.

This shows how urgent an electoral reform in the US House is nationwide. Redistricting/gerrymandering by state parties must be banned and MPs elected by proportional representation.

This would represent the voter's choice well and fairly.

Gerrymandering by partisan parties is a perversion of democracy.

Well put. There needs to be a federal algorithm, for states to stay within bounds of, with the ideal being that 35% of the voters get 35% of the representatives. 25% acceptable, 40% acceptable, outside that, no, Federal veto.

In Oklahoma's case that would be one Strong Democratic seat, one Tossup seat, and three Strong Republican seats. In other words "one and a half" Democratic seats in the unknown future.

There's another line of thinking which I'm pursuing, which is that as many as possible seats should be tossups. However, it goes against the majority in any one state, so it needs some work.

I like all the fruits hanging on the Dem tree.

Will Trump endorse her like he endorsed the candidate accused of abusing her estranged husband's daughter?

So the guy is a complete asshole. They're a dime a dozen -- just look at the asshole that was elected as President in 2016. The shit he has said makes this guy look like a girl scout.

Cry more, that’s good districting policy. Given the totalitarian rhetoric of the Dems any solution which keeps them out of power is justified

It is as though you see voters as never changing their votes beyond party affiliation, which is sad.

Also, there are enough areas of our lives where the Federal government gets a veto, could we keep a few topics outside Federal government involvement?

As I assume you are aware, that would require a constitutional amendment.

The people who design and develop the algorithm have the same human nature and biases as the democratically elected representatives in the states.

If the democrats or republicans in any particular state don't like the outcomes, they need to win elections. Or pass a referendum creating a supposed "non-partisan" committee as we did in Michigan in 2018. Guess what, both sides are complaining about the proposed map in one way or another.

Gerrymandering by any other name, is still gerrymandering.

Does her bigoted remark make you sleepy? Is it exhausting to read about an adult woman running for Congress who racially hated on a child?

So the guy is a complete asshole. They're a dime a dozen

Maybe she's an asshole, but the article is about her verbal abuse of a child then lying about it, then blaming it on inanimate objects.

This is who liberals are at their core. This is how they they govern as witnessed during the Kavanaugh hearings and Jan 6 hearings.

-- just look at the asshole that was elected as President in 2016. The shit he has said makes this guy look like a girl scout.

Your butthurt deflection is all you have left. This piece of shit democrat in the OP has no excuse for her behavior and neither do you.

Note to self: make a point when (not if) some dumbass with a R behind their name behaves like a dumbass I will not rush to create a thread that broadbrushes every Republican as a dumbass for that specific incident.
