Frank LaRose is okay with antisemitism that helps him

There's a reason he didn't publicize a recent event he attended to help fundraise for one of the biggest kooks in Ohio legislative history.

You’re probably wondering why two blonde white women are smiling at you from a header photo in a dispatch from The Rooster about that bum Frank LaRose. It’s a fair question.

The photo, originally spotted by Ohio Legislative Watch, is from an album published earlier this week on Facebook by “The Resistance Chicks.” The photos are from a Nov. 9th fundraiser in Middletown, Ohio, for the fake pregnancy crisis centers led by former State Rep. Candice Keller

If you look in the upper left-hand corner, you’ll see Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who also moonlights as the state’s leading Republican Senate candidate for the time being, sitting at the table behind the two women.

Lest you think there’s a chance that’s an unfortunate soul who bears an uncanny resemblance to LaRose, here’s our dear friend wearing the same outfit a couple of days later in Meigs County:

LaRose is wearing the same American flag pin, though he switched it from the right to left lapel in the days between the events.

It makes sense that LaRose is working the fringes of the so-called pro-life movement in Ohio. After all, he was the face of not one but two failed statewide efforts to keep abortion rights out of the state constitution. He even approved the amendment for the November ballot in his role as chairman of the State Ballot Board.

But it also makes sense why LaRose wouldn’t publicize his attendance at Keller’s soiree. Let’s start with the woman on the right in the header photo; she’s one-half of “The Resistance Chicks.”

You’re probably asking yourself, “Who the Hell are the Resistance Chicks?” Again, it’s a fair question.

Here they are in the days before the Issue 1 vote claiming that if the amendment passes, you’ll be able to take your baby to the neighborhood butcher for an abortion.

You can’t rationalize with these types of people! The word “kook” doesn’t go far enough. There is only a bowl of cold applesauce where their brains are supposed to be.

But these types of kooks being in the same room as a leading Republican Senate candidate is old hat in Ohio. It’s almost expected after Ohio’s hog voters shoved their reactionary in the trashcan days prior to the gala.

But LaRose didn’t advertise the event because it was headlined by Candice Keller, the founding member of the “Kook Caucus.”

Candice, a woman whose craziness is obvious from her hairstyle alone, infamously blamed the Dayton mass shooting on weed-smoking NFL players who refused to stand for our nation’s fight songs, among other societal ills:

Thankfully, Keller’s bid to triple her political power by running for the State Senate imploded. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the decency to slink back to Butler County and scrape together a living by lying to desperate pregnant women about their options, including the entirely safe and routine medical procedure known. as ”abortion.”

Here she is two months ago engaging in COVID conspiracy at a time when the pandemic death toll has largely become that of unvaccinated Republicans:

Here she is on Election Day confronting Butler County Republican Commissioner Cindy Carpenter for campaigning for Middletown mayoral candidate Elizabeth Slamka in a non-partisan election:

Slamka went on to win the election, but Keller couldn’t tolerate the fact that she once voted in a Democratic primary and thus became “a registered Democrat.” Only in Keller’s version of reality is the mayor of a rust-belt town in Ohio responsible for abortion policy.

Carpenter draws Keller’s ire for volunteering to work her friend’s campaign because she’s a normal person who doesn’t pick their friends by political party. You’ll also notice she has worked to reduce infant mortality, which doesn’t qualify as pro-life in the mysterious mind of Keller:

Keller has been obsessed with consolidating political power in Butler County. Like most zealots, she demands 100 percent fealty to her worldview. Anyone else is an apostate.

Perhaps most notably, however, Keller is one of millions of Americans who only support Israel because they believe holy war in the holy land will offer them a shortcut to Heaven.

You can see her celebrating the recent violence in Israel in posts on her personal page:

This is antisemitism, no matter how you cut it. Selfishly celebrating death and destruction halfway across the world is disgusting to most people.

It’s also problematic for LaRose’s campaign when he’s tweeting stuff like this, which he did yesterday after lending his name and office to a fundraising effort for an antisemite like Keller:

In fact, LaRose often tweets about standing tall against antisemitism when he knows cameras are upon him. Here are some recent examples, including one of him asking Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown to condemn a Palestinian Congresswoman:

LaRose apparently stands guard against antisemitism, except when it’s needed to help reaffirm his commitment to the pro-life voters he let down twice in three months.

Had the Resistance Chicks not overshared a photo album of a sweaty convention room filled with the most bizarre freaks in the state, there would be no evidence that LaRose ever attended the event. For some reason, his social team didn’t share any official photographs of their boy in attendance despite him needing the pro-life vote to win the Senate primary.

The cowardice is only curious to anybody who has followed LaRose’s career. Those familiar with this no-principled jackal know this is who he is. These are the finks he employs. And it’s another example of why he’ll never be our Senator.
