A prosecutor's anti-Trump posts anger talk-radio hosts

COUPEVILLE — Greg Banks is sorry, and he’s going to change his social-media ways.

Earlier this month, conservative talk show host Jason Rantz contacted the Island County prosecutor and questioned him about his personal Facebook page, which Rantz claimed had a long list of “unhinged” posts criticizing President Donald Trump and his supporters.
Rantz maintained that a few Island County residents contacted him with concerns that Banks’ posts and attitude would affect his ability to do his job and fairly manage his employees.

Rantz’s commentary about Banks, a Democrat, appeared on MyNorthwest.com, the website for KIRO-FM, KTTH-AM and 710 ESPN. The column, “Local prosecutor’s unhinged posts call Trump supporters ‘racist bullies,’” was discussed during the popular “Tom and Curley” show on KIRO radio in Seattle on Thursday morning.

Yet Banks had already come to the realization that Rantz had a point. Banks pulled the voluminous posts from his Facebook page and sent out a mea culpa to his staff last week, saying that he had “done something pretty stupid.”

Rantz and KTTH can go fuck themselves.

I heard on the radio there is a pac raising 2 million to go after media figures social media posts.

It’s going to get worst. Straight out of the Russian playbook for destroying the news being reported they don’t like.
