Kansas Republican Congressional candidate, and overall spineless politician, Kevin Yoder runs from the press when confronted by KMBC TV 9 reporter Micheal Mahoney over Yoder’s involvement in a speeding/field sobriety investigation.
Further developments came to light last night in the case of Kevin Yoder’s guilty plea to refusing a breathalyzer test. At 2:31am on February 8th, 2009, Yoder was driving his Lexus on K-10 outside Lawrence and was pulled over for speeding. During the stop, he refused to take a breathalyzer test after being asked by a State Trooper to do so.
Kevin Yoder has run a campaign claiming that he takes issues head on but over the years in Topeka we have seen Yoder play political hop scotch doing whatever it takes to further his political career, and now when confronted directly about an issue we see him run from the real media and into the arms of push over conservative talk show hostess, Darla Jaye, who threw him a bunch of soft balls and gave him a nice little pat on the back.
Kevin Yoder isn't real leadership, he's a spineless politician who will do anything to advance his career, even if it means obstructing justice.
You can watch the video of Yoder running from the press after the break, plus more on this.
Kevin Yoder refused to talk about the issues with KMBC9 News, while also refusing to appear on camera to explain what happened to KSHB41 News. Yoder, however, did appear on conservative talk radio, speaking on the Darla Jaye Show. Kevin Yoder said, “I want to be as forthright and open on this issue as we can. . . People have a right to ask questions. . . Folks have a right to know.”
Campaign Manager, Matt Sinovic said, “We agree with Kevin Yoder that people have a right to know. We have gotten four different stories from the Yoder campaign on what happened that night and Kevin Yoder himself refuses to talk with press about the incident. If Kevin Yoder has nothing to hide, he needs to come clean to the voters of the 3rd District. According to the Douglas County District Attorney, Kevin Yoder obstructed an investigation last year. Today, he is obstructing the facts about what happened during the 2009 breathalyzer incident.”
Sinovic added, “Career politician Kevin Yoder has a history of making false and misleading statements. He arrogantly believes he does not have to answer questions on this incident, and steadfastly refuses to apologize to the voters for his irresponsible actions.”
Kansans should stand up about Yoder and his bad politics and support his Democratic opponent Stephene Moore.
