Rudy's New Minnesota Campaign Official Has An "N-Word" Problem

[RamboLiberal]

The man named yesterday by the Giuliani campaign to a law enforcement outreach campaign post in Minnesota was forced to resign a government job in 2004 when proof surfaced that he'd admitted to repeatedly using the word "nigger" in the past, Election Central has learned.

Sheriff Richard Stanek was appointed to the post of chair of Minnesota Law Enforcement for Rudy. The campaign's press release promised that Stanek "will work with law enforcement personnel throughout the state to communicate Mayor Giuliani’s record of fighting crime and his commitment to first responders."

But as a rival campaign has pointed out to us, it turns out Stanek has admitted to having a history of racially charged remarks. He was forced to resign his post as Minnesota's public safety commissioner in 2004 after it came to light that he'd admitted in a deposition that he'd used racist slurs in the past, including repeated use of the word "nigger."

Star Tribune April 2004

Gov. Tim Pawlenty's public safety commissioner, Rich Stanek, resigned Friday amid a renewed furor over Stanek's sworn admission 12 years ago that he had used a racial epithet and told racist jokes...

Stanek's admissions in a sworn deposition as part of a police brutality suit against him in 1992 were reported by the Star Tribune in 1995, as he was making his first of five successful runs for the state House as a Republican from Maple Grove.

Wow - Rudy and his staff do such a wonderful job of vetting! :sarcasm:

1. That's why Rudy hired him in the first place.

2. Probably the best they could do.

3. Same with his South Carolina honcho.....

Then again, he was mayor during the Abner Louima era of NYPD brutality. Maybe he's seeking like minds.
