BPR: The chairman of the Republican Party of Palm Beach County is demanding the resignation of a local elected official after her “shameful comments” against a military veteran.
Michael Barnett slammed the vice chair of the Palm Beach Soil and Water Conservation Board of Supervisors in a statement posted on Facebook Monday, calling out Patricia “Pat” Edmonson who “viciously attacked a US military veteran using derogatory, divisive, and unprofessional language on social media.”
“Such behavior by a public official cannot be tolerated,” said Barnett, the vice chairman of the Republican Party of Florida as well as chair in Palm Beach County – the home of President Donald Trump’s Winter White House.
Barnett wrote:
Differences in political opinion should be discussed with more diplomacy and mutual respect than Ms. Edmondson displayed towards Mr. James Plowman, a military veteran. In her public dialogue with Mr. Plowman, Ms. Edmondson belittled him, calling him a “traitor” several times, cursed at him using the f-word, and insulted his service by suggesting that he “didn’t receive proper treatment for that traumatic brain injury.”
No one, whether a veteran or a private citizen, should ever be treated so contemptuously by an elected official.
A screenshot of the comments was posted on Facebook as well.
A 2016 candidate profile of Edmonson in The Palm Beach Post indicated that she lost a 2009 bid in the Democrat Primary for Lt. Governor in Virginia, was listed as a Board Member of the West Palm Beach Democratic Club and was a volunteer leader in the Palm Beach County “Hillary for America” campaign. MORE
My nominee for “punch able “ face of the week. What a vile, hateful bitch.
Unless the Vet was a black Muslim, nothing will come of this.
Sounds like just another old bitter commie skank that has no place in politics!
Well, he IS Black. I’m shocked (SHOCKED) the left isn’t pig-piling her for assaulting a Black man! Where is BLM? Where is Jesse Jackson? Al Shart-on?!
Just another ceckless funt!
This is what they do. This is all they know. I was reviewing a local FB post this morning about the 9th ruling in favor of open carry. It was one attack after another on conservatives from leftards. Mainly having to do with the size of your manhood if you own a gun. If you pull up these lefties profiles they are mainly professional people. It’s amazing what they reduce themselves down to.
She has the “let me speak to your manager” haitcut and the cunty personality to go with it.
Bad_Brad, but why are they always thinking about a Conservative’s dick though? And I guess they don’t know that liberals have permits, too?
She has the “let me speak to your manager” haircut and the cunty personality to go with it.
If she keeps getting facelifts she’s gonna end up with a mustache.
@MJ, Plowman, the vet, is a white man, Burnett, the chairman, is black.
Pat, judging by the high piercing in her left ear, is a carpet muncher, like Hillary.
This is President Trumps vacation backyard.
Won’t end well for Pat.
Sounds like she has dual state residences. Votes and butts her nose in politics in more than one state. Check her voting record and slap her wrinkled ass in jail.
OpenTheDoor- ah okay. I didn’t not have coffee yet. heehee
MJA
I have not figured that out. But they go right for the “little dick” attack right away. Maybe they’re projecting. But then again the women are worse then the men.
If you want to have an interesting exchange with these morons just wait until they bring up the “there’s more of us than there are of you” argument. Then point out to them that it doesn’t matter, we are a Republic, Governed by law, not by the majority. They FREAK OUT.
What’s the surprise? From what I have seen and by the liberal women I have personally known, grace, morality and any modicum of decorum, are not to be found in them. They are just rabid bitches.
She looks like the type that would get control of a homeowners association and run it like a tyrant. She’s got pushy bitch written all over her.
Enough of this crap, citizens of Palm Beach county start a damn recall petition. Vote this POS out of office.
My diagnosis- Daddy issues. On top of that Pat could not find a biker to be a bitch for so she is going queen bitch on any daddy substitute.
My prescription- I’m not saying someone should rape her (we are not democrats after all) but she has a lot of pent up energy that needs to be let out in a violent life or death struggle where her self identity, self worth and life are on the line. She needs a Holiday in either Venezuela with the words “Privileged American” tattooed on her forehead or South Africa but with no locks on the door of the house she sleeps in.
When she comes home she will be right as ray- with a proper love of country and the armed forces that protect her while she sleeps at night. Who knows- she might even be cured of being a democrat.
I gotta make an exception, normally I would enjoy the border jumpers having a hard time working here but I feel sorry for her illegal alien lawn people.
Hopefully this will lead to a few more thousand “Walkaways”, and another +1 or +2 on Trump’s approval rating.
“Just another ceckless funt!”
HEY! You watch it, mister.
Five will get you ten, a transplanted New York [arrogant] Catholic [self righteous]
bisexual/lesbian [irrationally angry + mannish haircut].
Any takers?
Palm Beach shouldn’t need to vote her out of office. There should be ethical standards that she violated that should result in demands for her resignation. Nobody should have to take that from an elected official, let alone a vet.
If there are not ethical standards in place there certainly should be, just like there should be background checks and drug testing for anyone to run for election in the first place! That is the defacto rule in the private sector, but good luck with getting these crooked Pols to do something that makes sense. After all, the very reason many of them are in government to begin with is because they can’t hold a job in the private sector!
They’re either too stupid, too crooked or both!
sHe also has that “Do you know who I am”? look. Phucken ‘unt.
Me thinks all of you are giving “this” too much credit. “This” as in “she”.
Was not “winter Soldier” thrice elected to congress from Ma? Was he not the head of one of the 2 leftist parties inn’04?
Was he not Sec State 3 years ago?
I call BS on Mike. When Lerner is in jail maybe this grandstanding can betaken as honesty. but as long as she is free, and JFK is sailing it is BS!
She “apologized” while not really apologizing to the vet.
{Pat Edmonson Let me begin by stating my appreciation of your service to our country. Facebook can be an open forum for the healthy exchange of different points of view but all too often those exchanges become negative and poorly stated. In this case, I feel the need to apologize for the use of the word “traitor” directed at you, I am sure you are a loyal patriot and regret my passionate criticism of Trump was personalized toward you. No one benefits from childish name calling, something of which we were both guilty. My words were spoken as a private citizen, not in any professional or public capacity and should be treated accordingly. As a veteran, you volunteered to fight to protect our right of free expression, whether you agree or disagree and I’m confident that on reflection you too, realize our conversation embodied wrong on both sides. So please, understand that this is an apology to you for the inappropriate choice of language. I feel passionately about the current occupant of the Oval Office who, I believe, is selling out America for personal gain and who ultimately will be revealed to be a criminal. You may feel completely opposite but the real strength of America is that we are allowed to hold these views and express them openly. Again, because I do not know you personally I regret any and name-calling and invective.}
AAAAAND, SHE RESIGNED.
