A Chicago-area Democrat politician showed her true colors after whipping out her Democrat privilege and insulting a police officer over the size of his anatomy after being busted for drunk driving earlier this month.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Samantha Steele was arrested by police officers after crashing into a vehicle while intoxicated. Police said the arrest occurred around 8:50 p.m. Sunday, November 10, in the 5000 block of North Ashland Avenue.
According to police reports, officers encountered two cars with “extensive” damage, including Steele’s. She admitted to the cops that she had crashed into another vehicle.
Police discovered an open bottle of red wine on the floor of the passenger side of her car and noted Steele was not sober.
“I observed her eyes were bloodshot and glassy,” an officer wrote in a report. “I also detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her breath as she spoke.”
Bodycam footage emerged on Saturday, capturing the exchange between Steele and the officers. She repeatedly refuses to comply with requests to exit the vehicle while bragging she is an elected official from Cook County.
