Kenya McKnight Files A Challenge To Fifth Ward DFL Convention





Photos By Kip Browne


First, the more important story: check out these cool pictures forwarded by Kip Browne, Chair of the Jordan Area Community Council, which were taken at the recent Fifth Ward DFL Convention!

Those are some great images.

So, oh yeah, about Kenya McKnight:

...a source close to the action forwarded some documents by email--and let me make it clear the source of these emailed documents was NOT Kip Browne, lest my use of his photos lead anybody to suspect Kip.

The documents I was forwarded show Kenya McKnight, Jerry Moore, and renowned positive thinker Ben Myers have filed challenges to the 5th Ward Convention results, which were in favor of veteran council member Don Samuels.

The challenges--which actually utilized the proper form (apparently Ben Myers has started taking notes when Kip Brown lays it DOWN) --make the following claim:

"The Convention rules were not followed, no convention delegate/alternate notice was sent. Many delegates were not present at their caucus and submitted absentee letters and all delegates whose status was in question prior to the convention and eventually approved to be delegates were not made aware of their approved status nor made aware of the convention. The lack of notification to delegates/alternates kept many from participating in the process."

For some unknown reason, Kenya McKnight found it necessary to "electronically sign" her document. A source in the Jordan neighborhood tells me the "bunch of signed forms at the very last minute" is "classic Ben Myers." (Except for that whole "using the right form" part)

On the form, Kenya McKnight lists her address as 1230 Morgan (Avenue?) North, #2. This building is a housing coop, owned by "Common Space." Unit No. 2 is not owned by Kenya McKnight, but by a "Quiana Franks."

I'm not going to say much more at this point, since I don't have any further orders from Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, long live the queen.

Good Lord... when will the Northside Mafia stop tampering with the democratic process and accept that people are tired of them calling the shots over here? Kenya McKnight and her gang are no better than Norm Coleman.

Oh, Kenya! What have you done?

I actually liked Kenya when I heard her speak at the caucus. While I wasn't going to vote for her, I found her sweet, well spoken and trying to do a good job.

Then she decides to file a law suit with Jerry Moore and Ben Myers? Oh, Kenya! You have committed political suicide with that decision. Either you are showing a serious lack of judgement or that sweetness was just a cover for a shark underneath. I hope for your sake that it is the former.

To be fair and accurate: Kenya didn't file a LAWSUIT with Ben and Jerry, she filed a complaint with the DFL through their process.

Will Insight News get around to reporting on this tomorrow? We wait and wonder.

This is Kenya and her crew setting up the reasoning to run against the DFL endorsed candidate.
