Racist attack by Taylor[edit]

She was charged with disorderly conduct for calling a bank teller a "house nigger", is there anything needing adding to the article? https://newstalk1130.iheart.com/featured/common-sense-central/content/2018-04-09-state-sen-lena-taylor-cited-for-disorderly-conduct/ 74.88.72.238 (talk) 09:58, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if this can be called a racist attack since the concerned parties were both African-American but I think this incident sure merits to be mentioned in the article. It is an excellent example of entitlement mentality. --Bernardoni (talk) 21:33, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"former politician" in lede[edit]

I'm not making an edit on this, but the notion of referring to her as a "former" politician seems a bit early to me, when she's only been a judge for a week. Also, in general, in Wisconsin I would say that many of our circuit judges would fairly be considered "politicians". I did a quick look at other recent Wisconsin legislators-turned-circuit judges, and nearly all of them are still described as politicians. The exception is Chris Taylor, who has moved up from circuit judge to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, which I think at that point warrants leaning more toward being a "former politician". But for Lena Taylor specifically, she's currently active in the primary campaign to fill her Senate seat, endorsing Myers, and I'm 90% sure that if Gwen Moore retired Taylor would immediately jump into that race for Congress. -- Asdasdasdff (talk) 23:16, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
