Connecticut’s Governor and Secretary of State Discard Policeman’s Death and Focus on Voting History of Illegal.
Reese on the Radio shared this story on his Substack.
Here is what Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas and Governor Ned Lamont want you to believe: Reckless conservatives grabbed the identity of an innocent New Britain woman, falsely connected her to a fatal crash, accused her of voter fraud and unleashed death threats against her—all because nobody bothered to verify a Facebook post.
There is just one problem.
That is not how this started. Not even close.
The story began around 2:45 in the morning on July 13, when a Jeep Compass crossed the double yellow line on Sugar Hollow Road in Danbury and struck a Harley-Davidson head-on. Off-duty Bridgeport Police Officer Cooper Whiteside, 38, and Brittany Islami, a 34-year-old mother of three, were killed.
The driver of the Jeep was Melissa Esperanza Ramirez-Romero, 27, of Stamford. According to the evidence described in the arrest warrant, her blood-alcohol level was 0.14—nearly twice the legal limit. She also tested positive for cannabis. Police reported finding empty Corona containers and a THC vape in the vehicle. She was charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle, DUI and other offenses. She has pleaded not guilty.
She is also in the country illegally, and ICE lodged a detainer against her.
That’s when the story got weird. Eleven days after the crash, Danbury police filed an arrest warrant containing another significant detail – the defendant had a valid Connecticut driver’s license connected to a New Britain address.
That’s when the Secretary of State and the governor got involved. To this day, we don’t know if there are two women or if the drunk driver and the woman living in New Britain are the same person.
Without this question being addressed, the Secretary of State shared a response claiming that there were no election crimes involving Ms. Ramirez.
Secretary of State Thomas shared that “verification should always come first”. However, she claimed that Ms. Ramirez was subject to death threats, and apparently, the police confirmed this was not the case.
According to the New Britain police report, officers located the woman after a welfare check was requested. She identified herself with her license and told police that she was not receiving death threats. She said she felt safe. Her main complaint was that journalists kept calling her.
The governor then stepped in and tried to make accusations of misrepresentation without having all the facts. He said – “Don’t jump to conclusions”.
Every police officer in CT should have a case of blue flu. Remember the south is hiring.
