State Sen. Leland Yee might have officially dropped out of the race to become California’s next secretary of state in March, but that did little to diminish his numbers on election night Tuesday. Yee, who was arrested back in March on gun smuggling charges, finished astoundingly well, with nearly 300,000 people checking his name on the ballot Tuesday – despite not campaigning at all since his arrest, allegedly plotting to deal weapons with a radical Islamic group in the Philippines, and maintaining a close connection with a powerful Chinese gangster who was also arrested in the sting.
When Yee pulled out of the race shortly after being charged and arrested for his connection in a federal sting, he was polling only at eight percent. After all the results had been counted Wednesday morning, Lee had earned 11 percent of the vote and finished second among Democratic candidates.
Wait a minute!
What part of "knowingly selling guns to Terrorists" wasn't clear to California voters?
That truly surprises me.
Hypocrisy? Lying? Using his office for personal gain?
That doesn't surprise me.
California Democrats have demonstrated repeatedly that this sort of shenanigans is only to be expected from their own "Favorite Sons and Daughters".
There are a couple of other high-profile Democrats in California, including at least one Representative and one Senator (at the Federal level) who have also made a career out of using Gun Control as a political tool to get re-elected year after year.
Maybe the FBI should take a closer look at them, as well?
