For starters, Lawson-Remer has been arrested multiple times. In 2004, Lawson-Remer and three other protesters climbed a skyscraper in New York City during the Republican National Convention to protest the Iraq War. In the course of their stunt, a New York City police officer was injured, requiring 38 stitches. Lawson-Remer and her comrades were arrested for felony assault. Below is a photograph of Lawson-Remer being apprehended by the NYPD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4436 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lawson-Remer-216x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lawson-Remer-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lawson-Remer-245x340.jpg 245w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lawson-Remer-108x150.jpg 108w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lawson-Remer.jpg 434w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>Her troubled past does not end there, however. Lawson-Remer&#8217;s campaign is being funded by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, as well as other radicals. William Ayers is an internationally-known domestic terrorist and one of the founders of the militant leftist group the Weather Underground. Ayers is responsible for bombings of a New York City police station, the Pentagon, and the U.S. Capitol. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before becoming a candidate for county supervisor, Lawson-Remer collected 100,000 in consulting fees from SEIU. When the primaries rolled around and Lawson-Remer was up against a more moderate Democrat, SEIU spent $70,000 to bolster her campaign and are expected to spend over $1,000,000 to get her elected in November. &#8220;They\u2019re going to be my boss,&#8221; Lawson-Remer said in January of this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could go on and on about the shocking past of Terra Lawson-Remer, but that would take days to read through. However, you can visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.terriblelawsonremer.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to learn all you need to know about her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I find it shameful that the <em>Union-Tribune<\/em> neglected to mention any of these easily proven facts regarding Lawson-Remer&#8217;s background. It\u2019s almost as if they don\u2019t want their readers to know who Terra Lawson-Remer really is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to her past, she is more focused on aligning Supervisor Gaspar with President Trump than actually running on her own merits. If you visit her website, Lawson-Remer has an entire tab dedicated to the &#8220;Truth about Gaspar,&#8221; where she desperately tries to paint Gaspar as a blind Trump supporter. In fact, the page dedicated to \u201cTruth about Gaspar\u201d is longer than Terra\u2019s own biography on her site, which certainly says something.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all of that being said, County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar has been an excellent representative of her constituents. She has worked tirelessly for her community throughout her term and will continue to put their interests first and make San Diego a better, safer place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019d like to learn more about Kristin Gaspar, you can read our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/2020\/09\/candidate-profile-kristin-gaspar-for-san-diego-county-board-of-supervisors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">candidate profile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0on her or visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gasparforsupervisor.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GasparForSupervisor.com.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba On Tuesday, The San Diego Union-Tribune officially endorsed\u00a0Democrat Terra Lawson-Remer for County Supervisor District 3, calling incumbent Republican Kristin Gaspar &#8220;a profound disappointment.&#8221; However, the U-T neglected to mention Lawson-Remer\u2019s sketchy past, and the fact that she continues to focus on bashing her opponent rather than promoting her own experience and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4438,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 -
