It’s been a rough month for Democrats everywhere. Indeed, on Election Day, their beloved Kamala Harris was trounced by Donald Trump.
On top of that, Democrats also lost both the Senate and the House. This has all made for a devastating November for leftists.
Some Democrats, however, have had worse Novembers than others. Illinois Democrat Samantha Steele, who is a Cook County Board of Review commissioner, would be one of these liberals.
Two days after the election, Steele was arrested for DUI after allegedly crashing her car. Disturbing video footage from her arrest shows her sexually harassing her arresting officer.
From Breitbart News:
Samantha Steele, a Cook County Board of Review commissioner, was arrested on the evening of November 10 after Chicago Police Department officers found two damaged cars near the 5000 block of North Ashland Avenue, WGN9 reported.Upon a further search of the area, the cops found Steele, 45, lying on the ground near the vehicle she was driving — with an half-empty open bottle of wine on the passenger side floor. Bodycam footage obtained by CWBChicago shows Steele refusing to hand over her driver’s license and insurance, opting to call her attorney instead.
Check out that footage for yourself below.
Steele Gets Combative With Officer
“You’re involved in a traffic accident, I’d like to see your driver’s license and proof of insurance,” an officer can be heard telling Steele. By this point, the Illinois Democrat was sitting in the back in the driver’s seat.
“Ask him,” she responded as she gave the officer her phone to talk to her attorney.
The cop refused to speak to the lawyer, who told Steele to hang up and wait for him to get to the scene.
“I’ll wait for him,” Steele stated.
The officer proceeded to ask Steele if she wanted to be handcuffed “because right now at this point you’re refusing to provide me—”
“I am,” she interrupted to say.
“I’m an elected official… I don’t want any of this,” she continued, going on to admit to hitting “two” cars.
Steele then refused to provide her ID or insurance, claiming that the vehicle was her “friend’s.”
The officer finally had Steele call her attorney back. The lawyer apologized to the officer before telling Steele that “you have to give him your driver’s license and insurance information.”
Finally, Steele complied and showed him proof of insurance.
During her arrest, Steele reportedly asked the officer, “Is your penis that small?” several times. This clearly constitutes sexual harassment. Frank Calabrese, a former aide of Steele’s who is currently suing her, said that this sexual harassment was “racist” because her arresting officer was Asian.
Extended Bodycam Footage
Extended Bodycam footage shows Steele continue to get combative with the officer.
“I don’t have to exit the car… I’ll wait for my attorney,” she said at one point. The officer replied, “Ma’am… if you don’t exit the vehicle, I’m going to help you to exit — and you don’t want that.”
“You don’t want that,” Steele fired back. “I’m an elected official.”
Steele also refused to give her name, identifying herself only as “Sam.” She was finally handcuffed after declining a field sobriety test.
Check out the extended footage below.
Steele has since been hit with one misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol. Her behavior in these videos isn’t surprising, as this kind of elitist attitude is typical among prominent Democrats.
There is absolutely nothing funny or okay about driving under the influence. Here’s hoping that Steele is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law!
