Turning on Her Own
/
FTVLive told you that former KREM, KXLY Anchor Nadine Woodward announced her candidacy for Mayor in Spokane and she just released a statement calling the Spokane media “Pathetic.”
This all comes after Woodward was speaking to a local Rotary club about undocumented immigrants and she referred to them as 'illegals.'
In a recording sent to media outlets in Spokane, Woodward speaks in support of Border Patrol's bus searches.
"I've met with the Border Patrol, I've seen what they do, and I support laws that protect and keep our community safe. And I think they are doing an incredible service at the Intermodal Station, when you see the arrests that they're making with the illegals, and especially in the drug trade. I mean, we have to stop that, " Woodward is heard saying on a recording from the event.
That did not sit well with a number of people and the media covered the story.
"Woodward is willing to say whatever she thinks people want to hear to get their votes," Fuse Spokane Program Director Jim Dawson said. "She owes the immigrant community and all voters an apology for spreading unfounded fear and hate and intentionally misleading voters about her views on this issue."
Woodward released a statement and it said in part, As mayor, I will work to make sure Spokane is welcoming to all who want to move here. The fact that Spokane media is trying to distract voters and make something out of a Federal Law is pathetic.”
Wow! Talk about throwing your former co-workers under the bus.
That’s politics for ya….
