Rules, policy, laws…who cares about all that stuff when you’re a Republican? The First Amendment means anything goes.
“It’s a constitutional right that we have freedom of speech,” Waukesha School Board Member Karin Rajnicek said, who also said (her fellow board member Ellen) Langill was putting her on the spot.
That’s the attitude of the unapologetic loon and victim, Karin Rajnicek, over her school district policy breaking comments in Scott Walker’s first deceptive ad promoting his “It’s working” smokescreen.
Waukesha Patch: To clear up any confusion about her recent appearance in a political ad supporting Gov. Scott Walker, Waukesha School Board Member Karin Rajnicek was asked to publicly state that the viewpoint presented in the television ad was solely her opinion … school district policy 8300, which dictates school board members must say they are presenting their own personal view when speaking to the public or the press. Rajnicek said she hadn’t realized she hadn’t said “in my opinion” in the video until later.
“I did not realize … that I did not say, ‘In my opinion,’” she said. However, she said she checked with people at the Capitol and was told that she didn’t do anything wrong.
Make no mistake, the omission was intentional. Having produced a fair amount of political ads myself, agency types know these disclaimers must be a part of the campaign. And what a god awful and irresponsible reaction by the Walker administration.
Karin Rajnicek’s only regret?
Rajnicek said that if she were to do it over, she would say the same thing again and that the only regret she has is the backlash school board members have received because of her political activities. “I stand by what I said. The only thing I am sorry for is that people have lashed out at you … and our other board members. That was never my intention.”
The only question now is how someone this childish, out of control and defiant could still be allowed to stay on the school board.
