Democrats scramble to deal with the possibility that a 19-year-old candidate for a Kansas House seat will unseat a veteran lawmaker despite making incendiary comments on social media and acknowledging abusive behavior online toward girls in middle school.
“I ran to talk about how to make Kansas better for working people,” Coleman said. “I never expected I would win.”
“Everybody I talked to said, ”Oh, you don't have to worry. You're going to win,'" Frownfelter said. He added that that many voters didn't know of Coleman's social media posts or past behavior. “I’m new at politics and so sometimes I speak a little too directly," he said in his email Friday to AP."But these issues are life and death.”
The Star said Coleman obtained a nude photo of a girl, threatened to distribute it unless she sent him more nude photos and followed through with the threat when she didn't provide more photos. Asked about the accuracy of those details, Coleman said in his email to the AP, “They're accurate.”
