Current South Portland City Councilor Natalie West took out a full-page ad in the local South Portland Sentry newspaper urging voters to support Vice President Kamala Harris and to oppose former President Donald Trump.
“I urge you to join me in choosing Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. Whatever your opinion on individual issues no voter can disagree on the following four points,” said West.
She then described the four reasons she believes indisputably prove that no one should vote for President Trump.
West claimed that Trump poses a threat to the rule of law because “he used all sorts of means to remain in power,” seemingly referencing the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
She cited “62 lawsuits” filed against Trump as indisputable proof that he tried to retain power illegally.
West demanded that Americans reject Trump because of his comments about women and the controversy surrounding his hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
The councilor argued that Trump is “unfit to serve as Commander in Chief” because he made negative comments about John McCain, who was taken prisoner during the Vietnam War.
Finally, she pointed to Trump’s age, saying, “78 is too old to be president.”
President Joe Biden is currently 81 years old.
West highlighted her own advanced age and elected position on the city council, where her fellow councilors would be able to make decisions for her if she began to fail.
She ignored the existence of the vice president, who is responsible for taking over presidential duties if the president becomes incapacitated or dies.
West does not directly violate the council’s rules of conduct by portraying her opinion as the official position of the South Portland council as a whole.
She does, however, invoke her position and experience as reasons voters should heed her advice.
“I write this ad from the perspective of my experience. Views on environment, health care, immigration, the economy and foreign policy are subject to debate and perhaps reasonable disagreement, but the above four points are indisputable,” said West.
She did not explain how she decided which issues are indisputable and which are in the realm of reasonable debate.
The Maine Wire reached out to the South Portland City Clerk, asking if the city believes it is appropriate for West to invoke her councilor status while campaigning for a specific candidate.
The city did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A total disconnect from reality.
Wow! Another example of Mainers not electing the best and brightest among us to public office.
California wealthy liberal.
She has lots of money so the outrageous taxes and cost of living don’t bother her.
She lives near Willard Beach so she doesn’t have the illegals roaming the neighborhood.
None of what she says is a reason to vote for Kommie.
She ignores the open border, how close we are to WW3.
She also ignores that the only weapons on J6 belonged to law enforcement and that the DOJ is using lawfare against Trump.
When you’re a liberal only feewings matter.
Portland City Councilor….BF Deal !
Publishing this in the newspaper is reason enough to know that she has already “ started to mentally fail “.
I hope this one gets voted OUT OF OFFICE at the very first opportunity .
Save it bitch …..Don’t preach your twisted beliefs to me .
These are the same demented clowns who voted to give a million dollars to illegals for rent and food. Let’s not forget they also told the elderly on fixed incomes to get reverse mortgages to pay for things like heat and medicines. And the latest from these geniuses is to ban leaf blowers. My son recently bought (mistakenly) a battery powered one than can barely blow a napkin off the dining room table. I’ll bet this bitch voted for the retard President “Depend” Biden while saying to her pals “he’s soooo smart”. I guess age only matters if you’re a republican. She’s so worried about the way Trump treated women but you can bet she voted for the serial rapist William Clinton. I’ll also bet she voted for the original candidate who tried to overturn an election, Al “I invented the internet” Gore. Her solution is to elect a president who has to be one of the dumbest human beings I’ve ever seen; Kamala “ I slept to the top, queen of the word salad” Harris. Lord help us.
Use to be you had to engage people to determine their mental capacity. They make it so easy now. “Say it forget it, write it regret it”. Or perhaps, “Better to be thought of as an idiot than to open mouth and remove all doubt”.
Do these idiots we have in local government really believe what they are doing and saying? Do they not know the people of Maine? Time we remove all those who would want you to vote for a candidate who cannot string two sentences together and would have you believe she is black…. Indian does not count as black. For four years she has lied her way to the Democrat nominee, who was selected and not elected by the States. At least Biden got some votes. We are doomed if Harris is elected…
I gotta say I truly have my doubts about the number of people who would support the puppets that manufactured the last 4 years. There is no way there could that many brainwashed idiots just wondering around. Like they said in the movie “You never go full retard. That’s just industry standard “.
More proof TDS is permanent.
She’s an AWFL…affluent, white, female, liberal
Your are nuts. I am 83. Ask Harris were the 2300 missing illegal kids are THAT SHE LET OVER THE BOADER in to our country. Well councilor where are those children.
The takeaway is that West is failing now and is letting her constituents know that she has no intention of leaving the council, no matter how debilitated she is.
I thought these sickos were only in Yarmouth!
Looking at Natalie West I never would have guessed she wants Harris to finish the job.
It’s frightening how all these educated elites think that they are morally superior to rest of the country and they no longer listen to reason/logic. Communism/socialism is a powerful elixir to the young and the old today, now that religion is being meted-out of society.
I read some of NY Times ‘readers’ comments on Kamala in the Brett Baier Fox interview and they are clearly scared and delusional about this election. Seems like their ‘moral compass’ is busted as they believe half the country is the enemy that’s doesn’t roll with their post-covid cultural-Marxist agenda.
Looks like Berkeley’s gain is South Portland’s loss…….
Another dimwit in Portland!
You get the goverment you vote for, who put this one in?
Councillor West asserts that “Whatever your opinion on individual issues no voter can disagree on the following four points…” Well, that’s quite an assertion, and reasonable people can disagree with some, or all of them. I certainly do..
There is no doubt this dingbat/moonbat is an out of stater. How on God’s green earth did you fools in South Portland elect this whack job? Is the disease of Communism and stupid from Portland spreading to South Portland and Westbrook? Sure looks like it.
The hardest thing Klamydia Harris has ever had to do was learn to deep throat! Harris was tested to have an IQ of only 75!
FACT!
“A rough guideline where an IQ of 75 corresponds to a mental age of approximately 10 to 11 years old.”
