TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! INSIDER: DESPERATE JACKSON COUNTY POLITICO CRYSTAL WILLIAMS LOSES ENDORSEMENT, DECLARES WAR AGAINST FREEDOM, INC AND THEN DELETES ANGRY TWEET!!!
The Kansas City Summer political silly season is heating up and Jackson County Courthouse Insiders offer an important perspective as tempers flare behind the scenes.
To wit . . .
JACKSON COUNTY POLITICO CRYSTAL WILLIAMS SEEMS UNHINGED AS SHE THREATENED FREEDOM, INC. VIA TWITTER THEN QUICKLY BACKED OFF!!!
Funny, she's a staunch Democratic Party political advocate but JUST LIKE PREZ TRUMP she has blocked her critics and even shut out TKC. Luckily, that didn't stop our blog community from taking a peek at her sweet tweets before they were discarded.
Check her remnants and a sign of campaign frustration:
Now, after the delete . . .
Here's INSIDER perspective on this drama from our blog community and more than a few locals who are upset at this drama from a struggling incumbent. Checkit:
"The long time African American political group, Freedom Inc came out with their political endorsements and in the Jackson County Legislature, they chose (white guy) John Burnett over (white woman) Crystal Williams. Not a hard choice because John Burnett has been an attorney/state representative with an impeccable career of working for all minority groups AND it's time to bring integrity back to Jackson County.
"But of course, Crystal Williams did not take it like a professional politico but went to Twitter with a sour grapes, self aggrandized comment about them choosing a "white guy against a friendly woman incumbent who actually makes policy benefiting the community." What the heck? What policy has she ever made to benefit anyone?
"Then she has the audacity to actually publicly say she didn't get the endorsement "since I don't pay for endorsements," publicly insulting this black organization. She goes further to insinuate that Freedom Inc. can't evaluate two white candidates and pick one based on one's successful history against another's eight year county career with temper tantrums and unprofessionalism.
"But no, Crystal says the only reason she didn't get the endorsement is because she didn't buy it. To insult the integrity of this group that has fought for civil rights is downright racist. There is no other word for it. Crystal Williams owes the members of Freedom Inc and all African Americans an apology. She could have said nothing but showed her true colors by defaming Jackson County's minority community . . ."

You decide . . .
Crystal needs to back off. She's not going to get anywhere by threatening people just because she's not getting her way. What an amateur move.
ReplyDeleteBecome unhinged, she has been horrible for 8 years. #GoodRiddance
DeleteNice makeover. I guess it really is "silly" season.
DeleteI'm going to go ahead and try to be objective here even though it's a stretch, a lot of people complain about "pay to play" when it comes to politics but Crystal wouldn't be the first. As for regrettable tweets. We've all been there. She's in for a tough fight and obviously she knows it. I've seen her twitter and its good but she calls it "crystal policy" but there's not much information about policy on it - Mostly just her personal take on political spin.
ReplyDeleteWhat are her views on spam?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Tony, you have it wrong: it is not illegal for Freedom to accept money to offset the costs of distributing and promoting their endorsement. They have been PayForPlay since at least the 70's.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was the first woman to manage a KCMO mayoral campaign, in 1979 we sent the late great Ken Hill over to "paper" the committee. Around $10 grand cash, as I recall. For Joel Pelofsky. Other races, the same. Poll workers received $50 to stand outside the polling place. Not sure what captains and committee members were "reimbursed" for their "management services."
That said, Freedom is free to endorse whomever they like.
The real problem is, even when you "buy Freedom" as it is called, they don't deliver.
STFU
Delete^^^ Nobody said it was illegal. you need to learn how to read Tracy.
ReplyDeleteAnother butt hurt liberal who threatens and demeans when situations do not go their way or when someone disagrees with them.
ReplyDelete#1. Crystal has always appeared to be unhinged.
ReplyDelete#2. Is she absolutely the only person in JACO that doesn't understand the connection between Freedom, money and endorsements.
Crystal doesn't know what she is doing, her pouting is turning voters away in droves, everyone knows that she is impossible to deal with and that is causing her campaign to fail.
ReplyDelete^^suck a dick.
ReplyDeleteAnother democrat unmasked, gonna be a great summer!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. don’t let the TDS escalate..... seek help now
Crystal pms-ing? Being low on iron can cause wild emotional behavior.
ReplyDeleteYou mean, that time of the month?
DeleteFreedom Inc is undoubtedly for sale. They ar black, and with them its all about getting their hands on some white people money so they can get some chap ass fake bling.
ReplyDeleteFreedom Inc deserves to be insulted because the have zero integrity. I hope Crystal stays mad, wins, and votes against any of the negro agenda.
ReplyDeleteMy campaigns have paid Freedom Inc for several "endorsements" over the decades. You'd think that seasoned Crystal would already know that. Move along, move along.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't complain before about how Freedom endorsed candidates.
ReplyDeleteNow, that she doesn't get the endorsement she complains.
4:02, you're the reason Freedom Inc. exists.
ReplyDeleteHow insulting and racist of her saying a white guy.
ReplyDeleteShe is a racist.
Freedom Inc does not represent black people, they represent Freedom Inc. That being said, Its never good to be a sore loser in public, Crystal.
ReplyDeleteNow that I know she is a racist I will vote for her.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to take off the feed sack.
ReplyDeleteFreedom Inc exists to line the pockets of the people in charge of Freedom Inc. That is the sole purpose of that enterprise. They have no integrity and have always sold their endorsements to the highest bidder.
ReplyDeletePlaying the white women card, that's a new one !!!!!
ReplyDeleteCrystal needs to STFU and get back to grazing on that fresh bale of alfalfa.
ReplyDeleteI can hear her gasping for air in her political life. It’s over Crystal call it a day.
