Steele is running against incumbent Fritz Kaegi for Cook County assessor in the June 28 Democratic primary,
Cook County assessor candidate Kari Steele said Thursday she disavows antisemitic comments made on a radio talk show hosted by her husband — who has often promoted her political campaign — but rejected the notion she should be held accountable for the views.
She then turned the questions onto Kaegi, saying he was trying to use the questions being raised about her husband to muddy her up.“I will say that, as you are disturbed about the comments that someone else has made, I’m disturbed that you feel a woman should have to wear the comments of their husband because you are running against me, Kari Steele not against Maze Jackson,” Steele said.
“That kind of hatred has no place in our political discourse, … and only now when you’re running the office, do you say something about it?” he asked.
