I work for the City of Omaha Police Dept. I live outside the city limits and can't vote on this. IF I could vote, it wouldn't be for her. But Jean doesn't deserve this.

Jean Stothert, a Republican candidate with the potential to become Omaha's first female mayor, endured two assaults on her gender in the past week that one national observer said were among the most “disgusting” sexist attacks she had ever seen leveled at a woman politician.

One assault came in the form of a T-shirt that depicted Stothert as a stripper on a pole. It came with a crude word pun that revolved around the words: “private sector.”

A grinning Democratic City Councilman Chris Jerram was pictured holding the T-shirt in a snapshot that was making the Facebook rounds Monday. Jerram has since apologized to Stothert and to the “women of our community.”

1. For sure.

Question is, will Jerram pay a price for that picture?? And--should he?

3. Sexism has no place in the Democratic Party

I don't care if she IS a Republican - attack her on the issues, NOT on her gender. Someone needs to smack these Dems down good.

This is shit the other side does, not us.
