Attorney General Lisa Madigan is the latest Illinois Democrat to call on Scott Lee Cohen to abandon his bid for lieutenant governor. From a statement:
Scott Lee Cohen should step aside immediately. It is clear that he isunfit to hold public office. The fact that he thinks he’s “done nothing wrong” just proves that. His ex-wife and court and police records confirm that he has a recent history of violence against women. His alleged failure to pay child support and his admitted use of steroids are just a few other examples of his complete lack of judgment. This conduct is inappropriate for a public official, and his extreme character flaws are an insult to the people of Illinois.
Meanwhile, WBEZ reported tonight that Chicago Ald. Bernie Stone (50th Ward) stood by his endorsement of Cohen, saying that he liked his emphasis on jobs. By contrast, Ald. Scott Waguespack (32nd Ward) and Personal PAC both withdrew their earlier support for his candidacy.
