Kim Klacik editorial in the Baltimore Sun

quote:

---

I expect more from The Baltimore Sun than graceless screeds. You are not the right-wing media or a partisan liberal rag. You are the editorial board of Maryland’s paper of record. Like it or not, I am the Republican nominee for a contested congressional race where the Democratic nominee was pushed out of the NAACP, according to your reporting, amid allegations of sexual harassment, nepotism and mismanagement. That is the candidate you have endorsed. I am a woman of color running in a state that has no women in any elected federal or statewide offices. But you have now twice, without ever having met or interviewed me, attacked and mocked me on your opinion page (“Is Kim Klacik running for Congress, mayor or chief Trump enabler?” Aug. 19). What gives?

By the way, in the spirit of your paper’s fact-checking duties, was any of what I said inaccurate? In the past 50 years, was there a Republican City Council or mayor or congressman I missed? Are we not among the five deadliest cities in America every year? Are the city’s homicide victims not overwhelmingly Black?
