HERO OF THE AGE

Brian Blanchard's campaign was at the Farmers Market this morning. They were out in force.

It was not immediately apparent if the "volunteers" were still Assembly Democratic legislative staff.

You may recall that Blanchard has convicted Scott Jensen (a Republican) of felonies for the same activities that Blanchard engaged in. You may think that odd, but it is true. Blanchard used state employees to create and run his first campaign. Blanchard is a lawyer but defended his actions by saying he didn't know it was wrong.
He then indicted and convicted Scott Jensen (not a lawyer) for using state employees to campaign. Jensen defended his actions by using much the same defense as Blanchard had.

It didn't carry much weight with Blanchard. Jensen is looking at the end of his career and professional life.

This is not rank hypocrisy. No, this is enlightened, even "progressive" public service on Blanchard's part. The fact that he had even more evidence, including personal knowledge, of the same activities by Assembly Democrats must be ignored.

All hail Brian Blanchard "Hero of the Age"! Never ever whisper "hypocrite and corrupt politician" he might indict.
