A Wisconsin state senator was cited for disorderly conduct last week after the allegedly berated a black bank teller with racist language over a dispute about a check.
Lena Taylor, a black Democratic state senator representing Milwaukee, received a municipal citation for disorderly conduct on Friday from Milwaukee police who were at the Wells Fargo Bank on W. Wisconsin Ave. on an unrelated call, WISN reports.
Taylor allegedly got into a dispute with a teller who refused to cash an $831 check for esteemed lawmaker because she did not have enough funds in her account to cover it.
Witnesses allege Taylor called the teller a “house ni**er” for following the bank’s policies.
According to WISN:
Milwaukee Police officers …. Overheard Taylor berating the teller and intervened. A shift lieutenant arrived on the scene shortly thereafter and, after reviewing the bank’s security camera footage, issued Taylor a municipal citation for disorderly conduct.
The citation comes with a maximum fine of $500, but is not considered a criminal violation.

Funny that she served as the co-chair of the state's Joint Committee on Finance.
ReplyDeleteIf she did this with several witnesses present, among them a cop, and it's on video, is it still "alleged"?
ReplyDelete"They" do it routinely every day, I thought it wasn't offensive if "they" say it.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats treating people how they really think of them. They ain't changed since they were slaveowners.
ReplyDeleteWith a state paycheck of only $50,000 it's not surprising that she was short. Her hair, makeup, nails, wardrobe and dry cleaning must take half of that every year.
ReplyDeleteWonder if she has enough funds to pay the fine?
ReplyDeleteBut if I said that I would be crucified on social media and regular media!
