Kurita Supporter Says He Threw Himself Out

A Kurita supporter who caused a bit of a ruckus at the Democratic Executive committee meeting which declared the Senator’s election “incurably uncertain” attempts to set the record straight:

Second, I want to correct David Luciano’s account of my behavior. He accurately recounted that when one of the few Democratic Executive Committee members pointed out they had been instructed to vote based on the evidence and facts, not on retribution and revenge, I said “here! here!” I did not shout that. Then I was challenged by party officials and told I had no right to voice my opinion of the proceedings. That is when I started to get angry and responded ”but, I am a voter!“ It was clear that the party officials were very concerned that an insurgency might erupt and began hurrying toward me telling me to leave. That is when I went on to shout as I was voluntarily leaving “the Executive Committee should do its job and vote on the basis of the facts and the evidence, not vengeance.” I did not need to be escorted out, but I am certain that I would have been escorted out had I stayed any longer. At that point I retired to the restaurant and drank a cold Budweiser to wash down all the bull I had witnessed that day.
