Missouri AG rejects Kim Gardner's 'ridiculous' attempt to inject race into legal fight to fire her
Fox News
Missouri attorney general says that Democratic St. Louis attorney's attempts to inject "race and politics" into his court legal battle to have her removed form her post is "ridiculous."
"I would encourage your readers to juxtapose my press conference with hers. I'm an attorney who's bringing legal suits and intends to put on evidence. She is injecting race and politics into a legal proceeding," Bailey said when asked to comment on Gardner's fiery press conference in which she insinuated that Bailey's actions may be political and race-motivated. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"There are numerous Democrat lawmakers and politicians in the city of St. Louis, who have called for her to step aside," Bailey said.
"This isn't just me saying this, I'm speaking on behalf of the people in the state of Missouri, but her own constituents and her own elected officials within her jurisdiction have also called for her to resign. So the claim that this is politically racially motivated is ridiculous," he added.
