Chair of Ohio Democratic Party Gets a Little Too Excited During Pep Talk

Chris Redfern, the chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, let the F-bomb fly in reference to conservatives during a speech to the United Steelworkers union yesterday, and naturally, it was recorded, like all things that now happen on Earth. In Refern’s defense, he is unfamiliar with modern “motion capture” technology: “Redfern also said he saw both the NEWS9 reporter and videographer, but did not see the reporter holding a microphone and assumed his comments were not being recorded.” [WTOV via Ben Smith/Politico]
