More Media Fails: LA Times Covers For Cheating Kristin

Unseemly Seema Mehta is playing cover-up for Kissin' Kristin Olsen.

Check out the article printed about her in the LA Times today:

California GOP vice chair steps down, setting off search forstate party's next leader

The former member of the state Assembly cited being a single mother, as well as her work as a consultant and on the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, for her decision to resign.

What? Where is the follow-up on why this career woman would go from state assembly minority leader to Board Supervisor and consultant, but for some reason did not factor in the time commitments to do all of the above?

The truth is that she was planning on a living a very hectic life outside of Sacramento, and she was prepared to do all of the above without constraint.

She's a single mother because she cheated on her husband. She is the home-wrecker in her family. That is her fault, but of course she refuses to take ownership for her behavior.

“Given the challenges before the Party, it is essential that we have officers who can fully commit to their volunteer positions. For both personal and professional reasons, I no longer have sufficient time to do so,” Olsen wrote in a letter to party delegates.

The personal reasons have everything to do with her affair with Chad Mayes as well as her betrayal of the party faithful and the voters.

Olsen, who became state party vice chair last year and has strong relationships with donors, was widely expected to succeed state party Chairman Jim Brulte when he retired.

Something else to keep in mind ... Olsen was ready to become the next CAGOP Chairman, since Jim Brulte was not going to run for a fourth term as Chairman. She was ambitious, too, and the idea that she was taking on responsibilities that overwhelmed her all of a sudden is total nonsense. She was ready to take on all those responsibilities.

Until she got caught!

Brulte, who has been reelected twice but is not expected to seek another term, will have to pick a vice chair replacement to be approved by the state party’s board of directors. The new vice chair must be from Northern California because Brulte is from Southern California, according to state party rules.

Charlie Schaupp

One name floated for consideration is Charlie Schaupp of Placer County. He wanted to the position before Olsen was tapped for the seat.

Olsen, 43, announced her resignation less than three weeks before hundreds of party delegates and elected officials are scheduled to meet at a semiannual convention in Anaheim.

Yes, indeed! Now why is that? She wanted to avoid the heated scrutiny and outrage which would follow from the resolution I had submitted to have her step down ASAP!

The Republican Party in California, which birthed GOP heavyweights such as Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, has been in a decades-long decline. Its share of the state's registered voters is under 26%, and it last elected a statewide candidate in 2006. Many of the party's members of Congress are key targets in the Democrats' effort to retake control of the House.

And the "leadership" like Cheating Chad and Kissing Kristin have further marred our efforts to bring the CAGOP back to a stronger stance in the state. Will voters ever trust Republican candidates or lawmakers ever again?

LA Times FAIL: Won't Publish the Truth About Ex-CAGOP VP's Resignation

Shortly after LA Times reporter Seema Mehta reported on former CAGOP Vice Chair Kristin Olsen's resignation, I fired off an email to her and other reporters covering the resignation:

Seema:

You can't be seriously buying what Kristin Olsen has announced!

Unseemly Seema won't publish the truth

The Chairman, Jim Brulte, asked me to pull a resolution condemning Kristin Olsen. (see attached)

He called me and told me to pull it - because he did not want it to go public exposing how bad Kristin Olsen had behaved, both publically and privately.

This letter that Olsen just sent out is a load of garbage.

Here is my report on what happened with Brulte:

BREAKING: CAGOP Chairman Asked Me To Pull My Kristin Olsen Resolution. WHAT?! aschaper1.blogspot.com Unbelievable! I just got a phone call from California Republican Party Chairman Jim Brulte. "Do you trust me, Art?" He asked me if I...

Here's her response:

Hi Arthur,

Thank you for your email and I get what you are saying. While we have heard about these allegations, we couldn’t publish anything right now because we have no on-the-record confirmation. Please keep me posted if anything more will come up at convention?

Best,

Seema

Unreal! What a crock. The Los Angeles Times routinely publishes allegations about people's illicit affairs. Joseph Turner of American Children First broke the story about Kristin's affair with Chad Mayes.

I am very much on the record with this information, as are others within the state party.

Of course, Joseph Turner corrected this desperate attempt to cover up for Kissing, Cheating Kristin:

She has already seen it [The letter from Olsen's estranged husband to investigate his ex-wife's misuse of funds to cover up for her affair with Chad Mayes]. We all know that her comments are a scam. You don't need to have 100% confirmation to understand the obvious fact that allegations of said affair were the genesis of all of this.

I believe the LA Times, if not all other media outlets, have regularly reported on alleged affairs denied by both parties involved. If "on the record" confirmation was the standard...the LA Times and CNN and other mainstream media outlets wouldn't be called fake news.

I honestly find Seema's twisted and strained logic more insulting than simply being ignored. If she is going to stick to that company line, how about some intellectual honesty about Olsen's supposed "professional and personal" reasons for stepping down?

When she left the legislature she claimed she was going to spend more time with her family. I mean she was spending more than 150 days on the road away from her young family so that made sense. Then she ran for Supervisor a couple of months later. Then she was appointed to CRP Vice Chair a few months after that. And then you find out that she was banging dudes throughout 2016 (Mayes and Gray).

Yeah...a lot of concern for the family and desire to spend time with the family. This time...oh look...she is doing it again for the family?

But now we want to regurgitate the BS and call it reporting? GIVE ME A BREAK.

We are supposed to believe that not reporting on the real externalities that forced her hand aren't news because neither she nor Mayes will confirm. But repeating what one of them says and giving them the opportunity to lie, repeat the lie, and insult our intelligence is real news?

Puhlease.
