Former Crystal Mayor ReNae Bowman took one of the dumbest swipes I’ve ever seen<\/a> at Andy Richter, founder of “Community Solutions” and one of the driving forces behind Crystal’s libertarian\/conservative insurgency – an insurgency that’s undone a lot of ex-mayor Bowman’s toxic legacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But never let it be said the woman doesn’t ooze class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis on “ooze”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bowman’s lunacy, and borderline slander, gets worse – including a swipe at Richter’s wife that’s straight out of some trailer park reality show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to presume Bowman is angry with Andy for two reasons: he clobbered her in a city that was supposed to be a DFL sinecure, and Andy helped lead the way doing the most unforgivable sin in the “prog” religion; peeled back “progressive” power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richter’s response was as classy as Bowman’s was toxically “progressive”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is Ms. Bowman you don\u2019t scare me. You\u2019re nothing more than a classless coward. While I go out and work hard with my blog and my podcast and on campaigns, you sit around on social media and spread 24\/7 hate. it\u2019s a pathetic existence. If you\u2019d like to be as successful as my group I have a suggestion; why don\u2019t you come up with a positive agenda and persuade people to support it?
I know I\u2019ve helped defeat you and all your friends in Crystal and that has to be eating at you. I can understand that. Losing that much has to drive someone crazy. She probably dreams about defeating our group in just one election. And why not? Dreams are important. I won\u2019t knock them.

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And since Bowman still harbors political ambitions, I’m gonna post this for my friends in Crystal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said all this, I will support Ms. Bowman\u2019s right to free speech. If I try and shut her up then I\u2019m no better than she is. Her first amendment rights will be supported by this group even it attacks me and my family. What I will not do, under any circumstances, is stop exposing her vulgar and despicable words. These are her words, published in their entirety. Voters of Crystal will know what she says and who she supports. No amount of attacking me will intimidate me into silence. One thing Bowman won\u2019t do is shut up, so you can rest assure that her conduct will continue to be exposed here.
