Following remarks from comedian Sarah Silverman regarding her desire to anally probe Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.), a former field organizer for Obama for America and Democratic party chair is the latest to wish harm on the governor, saying only if he were raped would Walker understand abortion.
Sheila Canfield-Jones, who according to her LinkedIn profile is the chair of Colorado’s Park County Democrats and a field organizer for President Obama’s former organization, made the comments in response to a Facebook post on the Denver Post Opinion page.
The newspaper uploaded an opinion piece about Silverman’s Twitter comment — which made headlines after it was re-tweeted by Colorado state Rep. Joe Salazar (Colo.) — and Canfield-Jones weighed in.
“Thats so funny maybe if the Gov was raped he might understand ……. nah He’s a Republican,” she wrote.
Walker came under fire from Democrats for signing a bill requiring women seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound before the procedure.
Neither Canfield-Jones nor Organizing for Action returned Red Alert Politics’ request for comment by the time of publication.
This piece has been updated to include new information.
Correction: While the original piece reported Sheila Canfield-Jones worked for Organizing for Action, a representative for OFA told Buzzfeed she does not work for the organization.
