Kathlyn Ehl Resigns from McKenna Campaign

Posted by on Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 11:45 AM

After she tweeted that Asians need to shut up and speak English, which we reported Monday, KING 5's Robert Mak follows up this morning:


Mak explains in another post that Ehl, who worked as a policy assistant on McKenna's Republican campaign for governor, "met with McKenna's Asian American Coalition. Co-chair Walter Liang says 'even an immature error cannot be overlooked.'"

McKenna's campaign has accepted Ehl's resignation. I've posted their statement—which, of course, the McKenna campaign didn't send to The Stranger, even though we broke this story, but whatever—after the jump.

On Monday, the Rob McKenna for Governor campaign learned of two offensive tweets sent by a staff person, Kathlyn Ehl. Ms. Ehl started work as a campaign volunteer in April and, following her graduation from the University of Washington, became a paid policy assistant last month. Pending an investigation into these actions, which took place before she began volunteering on the campaign, Ms. Ehl was suspended without pay. Today, after facilitating an exchange between Ms. Ehl and the leaders of the campaign’s Asian American Coalition, her resignation was accepted.

“I felt it was important to provide an opportunity for our Asian American Coalition leaders, who have spent countless hours over the last year working to advance our campaign in their community, to let Kathlyn know how hurtful her comments were to them,” said Randy Pepple, McKenna’s campaign manager. “It was important for her to thoroughly understand their feelings and to apologize to them for her comments.

“After consulting with the leaders of our Asian American Coalition, members of our Seattle Steering Committee, and several others I reached out to, I accepted Kathlyn Ehl’s resignation from our campaign this morning,” Pepple added.

“As the father of two young women, it pains me to accept the resignation of a young woman for a mistake which occurred before she had even begun her career. However, as we have said, and Kathlyn readily acknowledges, her tweets were offensive and insensitive. Kathlyn suggested, and I agreed after consultation with some of our campaign’s grassroots leaders, that her ongoing involvement on the campaign would be a constant reminder of her lapse in judgment.

“Life teaches us difficult lessons, and sometimes at a very young age. My hope is that she will find some benefit from having learned this lesson now, as it will undoubtedly be a long-lasting one,” Pepple concluded.

Pepple’s decision came after a meeting had been arranged to encourage direct dialogue between Ms. Ehl and McKenna’s Asian American Coalition and Seattle Steering Committee leaders.

“My fellow volunteers appreciated hearing from Ms. Ehl and the campaign’s willingness to seek input from us,” said W. Walter Liang, McKenna’s Seattle-North King County Steering Committee chairman and Asian American Coalition co-chair. “My colleagues and I are confident Ms. Ehl’s apology is sincere, but we also feel it is important to show the community that even an immature error cannot be overlooked when it has such a profound impact.”

Good on the McKenna campaign for even having an Asian American Coalition, which I imagine Ehl told to shut up and speak English.

I'm Asian, and while her comment was offensive, she did apologize and recognize it for the offensive thing that it was. If we can't accept a genuine apology for a mistake made, and move on, then at what point do people stop apologizing for their mistakes? Are we getting to the point where every mistake MUST be punished?

Yeah. I'd never viewed that video rant but had heard about it, and it was one of the first things that occurred to me.

Anyway, UW's class of 2012 better start doing shit--and I'm not talking about its recent NFL draftees--so that Ehl doesn't remain the most prominent grad for long.

@8 - you seriously think she should have kept her job in a political campaign for her ignorant comments? Geez, it's not like these were comments from her diary at age 14 - we're talking 6 months ago.

I think a link to this example (and the youtube one - haven't looked but I can guess which one it is) should be included in a User Agreement along with Liang's quote for any social media sites.

I'd say she does, though; people would get fired for not disclosing a criminal record or a dishonorable discharge, so why shouldn't an idiot who as a college senior thought it was appropriate to publicize this attitude be fired. And technically, she resigned, didn't she?

@ 8, stick it. She tweeted a racist comment, McKenna tried to cover it up and bloviate, then THEY fired her. The Stranger did none of those things. They only reported.

I wonder where your ignorant attitude comes from. Misplaced chivalry?

Ms. Ehl just got a lesson in how the real world works. She deserves no coddling for this.

It's not so much that an immature error cannot be overlooked as that an immature, racist person, on the staff of someone who wants to be governor, cannot be overlooked.

@8, racism is not just a "youthful mistake," dipshit. It's a major, destructive character flaw, and this is exactly the kind of repercussion it ought to have to make sure it's rooted out as thoroughly as possible. Do you think she'd ever have grown out of her "youthful" ways if they never had consequences?
Posted by balderdash http://introverse.blogspot.com on July 18, 2012 at 12:29 PM

Misplaced chivalry is a good call. @8 is actually making a fairly sexist statement by claiming that it's the Stranger and not an adult woman who is responsible for her own behavior.

It's sad that people keep calling her tweets a "mistake". A more appropriate word might be "tragic" that she has no tolerance for people who speak a language other than English or for seniors who are trying to maintain muscle mass instead of chugging around in wheelchairs just so she doesn't have to wait 10 seconds in her car. There was no "mistake" about the sentiment of those tweets. She's an ugly person who simply wasn't intelligent enough to hide her ugliness.

The bigger issue here that no one seems to be commenting on is the tremendous speed with which the McKenna campaign orchestrated a polticially correct, public humiliation of this young woman and then heaved her over the side. While the sincerity of her apology can be debated, what about the sincerity/efficacy of the campaign's swift action? Evil.

@25 - WTH are you talking about? Of course McKenna's campaign acted quickly. But public humiliation? no, that was all her own doing. I think the McKenna campaign would have gladly handled this quietly (or not at all, actually), but they were forced to act and to make a statement, which was extremely fair and as not-humiliating as one could be when you've got an ignorant tool on your payroll.

If only Bimbo's would have acted so swiftly about their problem employee...

She's free to be a racist bitch if she wants to be. But publishing those remarks in a public forum is a terrible idea if you later intend to work in politics, particularly for a candidate who is trying so hard to cling to a "moderate" image despite a hard slide to the right. Sorry, that's just the way the business works. She's an adult; she's not entitled to sympathy for being a complete and utter dumbass.

@ 25, as I remarked, they bumbled through it. Nothing "swift" about it. They tried covering it up (scrubbing the web, deleting tweets), they tried appeasing everyone they offended, and only then did they "accept her resignation." Swift action would have involved firing her Monday night, without all this nonsense.

Don't be sad. This is the risk in working for political candidates. Their first rule is to never embarrass their boss. Make them look bad, and you're out.

I think the notion that a promising young person's career in politics has been stalled by a youthful indiscretion gets it exactly backwards. It's those "sure she's edgy but you hey she's got a point" tweets that helped get her a reputation of an up-and-comer among conservative students, who admire that kind of tiptoing along the highwire between being un-pc and being racist. That reputation in turn got her hired as a youth policy person for the McKenna campaign. While they probably didn't know about the tweet in question, they thought of her as being wired into the world of campus conservatives. The tweet got her the job, and then it lost her the job. Hard to be sympathetic.

@21Why?

Was she a result of a racist family? Poor kid. Has she not interacted with people from all over the world? Poor kid. Is she an intolerant dolt? Poor kid. Life’s going to be pretty hard on her unless she changes and learns from this. So I wonder what she’s learned.

Was my comment pointless since I didn’t provide inside information to the story? Most people here don’t, are you going to be rude to all of them in turn? Why bother saying anything; your comment offered nothing but ego-stoking pompousness for you. Gee, Will, you’re so much better than me. Your comments are so enjoyable. You feel better about you now?

If my comments are a waste of your time, don’t read my comments. I haven’t changed my pic in all this time, I’m sure I’m not too hard to avoid.

@ 25, further, HOW is that the "bigger issue" anyway?

The only thing interesting about how they handled it is what it says about McKenna's campaign. How is it possible, in 2012, in one of the most wired states in the nation, for a major campaign to have no contingency plan in place for this? People have been sending out embarrassing tweets for as long as Twitter's been around. EVERY campaign, especially one as important as governor, should drill it into every staff member's head that their tweets are visible to the whole world, that NOTHING they tweet is private, and that ANYTHING they say can and will be used against them.

Now, it's possible that they did have a plan in place, but maybe Ehl is "important" somehow. Like the daughter of a major GOP contributor, or something like that, where they couldn't just fire her without risking the ire of her dad.

(Complete and utter speculation on my part - I have no idea who she is. I just know that people get to be part of these things as often for their family connections as for their qualifications, so there's a 50/50 chance that's how she got to work for the McKenna campaign instead of for whomever is running for state house in her neck of the woods.)

So, take your pick - either McKenna's campaign doesn't have a plan for dealing with staffers who embarrass Rob, OR this one in particular had connections that needed to be addressed before she could be let go. I think the former is more likely.

@balderdash. Thx. Regarding others, put yourself in her situation for a second. She made those tweets when she was in college. We all at some point in our lives were ignorant and overtly racist. All of us still struggle with subconscious racism. Every single one of us. There are some cool studies that show this which I don't feel like googling right now. Some of us benefitted from having our overt racism exposed as such at early ages by our own parents and we grew out of it. Some of us weren't so lucky or perhaps were more stupid. Making a few dumb jokes in college should not cause anyone to lose their job, especially in this job market. As another commentator said, she apologized. Not good enough? So go ahead and drive that bus over her again and again. It feels soooo good, right?

@40: When I was a young'un we called this a "consequence". I don't know if anyone under 35 has experienced these, but they hurt like hell. If you're lucky and smart, you learn from them and you don't fuck up next time around.

When I was a wee lad, I composed a very unfortunate bit of doggerel about a younger child of a different race than I. I got taken to task in a way that sticks with me to this day. It helped me understand that this was wrong behavior. Glad I learned that before I did something stupid as an adult. Especially in this day where the "permanent record" means Google.

The poor dear will live. She will probably even thrive. Get over the persecution complex. She needed to learn a lesson about appropriate behavior.

@ 40, you're making excuses. "She was in college"? She was about to graduate.

"We all at some point in our lives were ignorant and overtly racist. All of us still struggle with subconscious racism. Every single one of us."

Speak for yourself. Anyone "struggling" like this would have already known better than to post that tweet, even if they thought that thought.

"Making a few dumb jokes in college should not cause anyone to lose their job, especially in this job market."

Depends on the context. Did she tell it at a party? Maybe an office meeting? Or did she essentially tell the whole world while representing a major political candidate?

You're all wet on every account. She's not "young," which you clearly intend to be synonymous with "not responsible for her actions." That's the wrong word; the correct word is "immature."

As an "adult," she will be held responsible for her actions, even if she's personally irresponsible. That's life.

She has now deleted her Twitter account. Hopefully she learned a lesson, but she's probably just blaming the "librul" media rather than taking responsibility for her offensive comments. Given McKenna's obvious dislike of casually-dressed women and the jobless - just to name a few - he probably didn't see much of an issue here other than the bad publicity his campaign was attracting. Perhaps she'll appear in Koster's campign staff now.

"As the father of two young women, it pains me to accept the resignation of a young woman for a mistake which occurred before she had even begun her career."

Here's the problem, folks. McKenna's campaign regards a racist tweet as a "mistake".

It was no mistake. She wrote exactly what she intended to write. She broadcast exactly what she intended to broadcast. There were no mistakes. It was all deliberate.

Calling it a mistake makes it seem unintentional, an accident, or blameless, as if it were a typo. It was not a mistake.

I support the decision to fire her, but I don't think it's fair to say that her defenders are inherently sexist.

I've noticed that whenever a young person - male or female - faces repercussions for publicly displaying bigotry, there are always people insisting that they should get a second chance, and that this should be a "learning moment."

I don't know why they think that learning is more likely to come from a slap on the wrist than being treated like everyone else. But it seems like the push for leniency is usually based on age rather than gender.

She should be fired and not have been allowed to "resign".

Also, to those saying "Who cares about twitter?!", the answer is: everyone other than you.

Twitter breaks news, gives updates on current events (not being covered by media), informs people about every topic on Earth, allows for some hilarious interactions, and also gives a unique opportunity to allow incompetent people to spew their hatred. Just because you're not into it doesn't mean what happens on Twitter is going to stay on Twitter. Come to peace with it.
