We’re sure by now you’ve heard something about a certain spanking incident involving Burbank, California Mayor Konstantine Anthony. If you’re an avid supporter, he may have even blocked you on X just for laughing at everything that’s happened. Let’s walk through the finer points here. It really tells a story!
Our fates were intertwined the moment Mayor Konstantine Anthony was filmed getting spanked by a drag queen at a fundraiser for a Democratic senate candidate. The fundraiser was billed for ages 15+. As I am known to do, I shared the video and called out the Mayor.
Now, you’d think this kind of public scrutiny might elicit some form of apology, or at least acknowledgement that it was perhaps in bad taste. At first, Mayor Anthony engaged in the comments in a jovial manner. It seemed he was excited about his sudden influx of digital attention. No press is bad press, right?
Mayor Anthony seemed to think his behavior and unwillingness to answer questions was funny, until he saw thousands of you chiming in to pile on and challenge him to respond. It seems he couldn’t take the heat, and he ultimately blocked me- and many of you!
If an elected official uses his social media profile for campaign-related functions, is his account then rendered a public space, meaning that it would be a breach of my first amendment rights for the Mayor to silence my speech by preventing my participating in discourse with him? My attorney explains it more succinctly:
I mean, what is a young journalist to do? I have questions for a public servant who refuses to answer me and ultimately silences me. What recourse do I have? Well, I teamed up with Turning Point USA to travel across America to confront Mayor Spanky in person. Watch the full video here!
Since the Mayor refused to engage with me online, then I supposed I’d have to ask him my questions in person. I traveled to Burbank, California to do just that. You can see when the bell goes off in his head and he realizes it’s me. Unsurprisingly, Mayor Anthony still would not answer why he misrepresented an event’s attendance-age policy, nor what he meant by the following disgusting tweets, of which there are many. Here are some examples:
To make matters worse, after all the research, planning and effort to arrange my in-person confrontation with Mayor Spanky, analysis of the tweet analytics has led to feelings of frustration. Twitter/X has improved dramatically since Elon took over, but there are still some issues that need to be worked out.
What a time to be alive. What a time to endeavor to expose radical ideologies which are destroying the fabric of our society from within.
They can silence me in many ways, but they simply cannot stop me.
I will continue to ask the hard questions. I will continue to expose the truth to the public.
Thank you for your continued support!
