Dem Mary Petola Accused of N-WORD Use

Former staffers say Alaska Democrat Mary Peltola used the n-word after an October 2024 dinner honoring nearly 4,000 Black soldiers, where eight campaign-bought tables sat mostly empty. Alaska Landmine broke it and The Post Millennial passed it along, so you're hearing it secondhand, like gossip at a church potluck. Her campaign denies the quote and calls it a smear, which is what anybody says when they'd like the question to go away. Meanwhile the New York Times alleges Democratic operatives tied to her campaign tried to recruit candidates named Dan Sullivan. Her former campaign manager says Peltola wasn't involved but was 'definitely aware of it.' Around here, when the hired man swears he wasn't in the barn but is definitely aware the gate got left open, you go check the gate.
