It’s Wednesday. Meet Congressional candidate Martin Hyde. Martin was stopped on February 14th by a Florida Police officer for speeding and texting. He did not like this. He quickly became disrespectful, uncooperative, and threatened to end the career of the officer, saying “You are making career decisions.” He added, “I’ll just call the Chief. You know who I am, right?” But the officer did not relent and issued three tickets.
It’s entitled pricks like Martin Hyde who believe they’re above the law and use their status to destroy others, in this case a police officer just doing her job.
But not this time. This time it was all recorded on the officer’s bodycam. After the footage received national exposure, Martin Hyde issued an apology and said he was ending his campaign for Congress. Imagine how differently this could’ve gone without the footage? A morally bankrupt asshole like Martin Hyde, and those like him who attempt to use their status to avoid/influence the law, should be permanently barred from holding office in any state.
