Controversial Clayton lawyer draws criticism for derogatory references to the disabled
Lawyer Albert Watkins, in speaking about those involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection, used disparaging terms about people with mental disabilities.
"Albert Watkins, no stranger to controversy, has sparked a new one with derogatory comments denigrating the mentally disabled in a news article about January’s insurrection at the Capitol. Watkins has already claimed that former President Donald J. Trump duped gullible followers with his false claims of election fraud. In a Talking Points Memo article on Tuesday he added comments mocking Trump supporters by comparing them to those with mental disabilities.
Watkins spoke later with the Post-Dispatch and declined to apologize for language that brought online anger and criticism, but acknowledged that the comments were a calculated effort to draw attention to the mental health of Chansley and others. Chansley, one of four accused Capitol rioters represented by Watkins, has pleaded not guilty to two felony and four misdemeanor charges stemming from his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach."
So this guy thinks he is going to win this case by attacking the very people who supports his client and the crusade to stop the steal and overturn the election?? Why would you expect Newsmax or OAN to invite you on and help you fundraise if you are calling their core audience a bunch of retards??
