DiSanto Should Apologize for Facebook Post

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – South Dakota Democratic Party Executive Director Sam Parkinson today called on State Rep. Lynne DiSanto to apologize for an insensitive post on Facebook where she shared a image portraying a car running over protesters.

“The right to peaceably assemble is fundamental to our democracy – so fundamental, in fact, it is included in the First Amendment to our Constitution. Whether one supports the cause of protesters or not, sharing an image promoting running them over is offensive and beneath the dignity of the office Rep. DiSanto holds. Even though she removed the image from her Facebook page, she still owes the people of South Dakota an apology.”
