Kansas Republican vows to send 'lesbian Indian' Democrat back 'to the reservation'

A local Kansas GOP official lashed out at Democratic congressional candidate Sharice Davids on social media earlier this week, saying “your radical socialist kick boxing lesbian Indian will be sent back packing to the reservation.” Roughly 50 exclamation points followed the end of the message.

The Facebook message was written by Republican precinct committeeman Michael Kalny of Shawnee and sent to Anne Pritchett, president of the Johnson County Democratic Women’s north chapter.

Davids is running against incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder for the hotly contested 3rd congressional district seat.

Reached by phone, Kalny identified himself as a GOP precinct committeeman in Kansas. Precinct committee members are elected positions that represent political parties on a precinct’s behalf. When questioned further about whether he wrote the message, he said he needed to talk to his attorney and hung up the phone. In recent months, Kalny had also served on the board of directors for the Kansas City Barbeque Society, said executive director Carolyn Wells.
