In early October NCN reported:
According to emails and texts, Rhoades has written that Kleeb “grabs a person of color as a token for her photos. Then she leaves without doing a thing to actually help.”
Kleeb tells News Channel Nebraska she finds Rhoades’ comments “really hurtful.”
In the meantime Rhoades who also wrote, “Jane breezes into town, grabs a token and rents a space and she’s a hero and I’m a zero?” is doubling down.
Preston Love, the party’s second associate chair, tells NCN he’s ready to try and bring Kleeb and Rhoades together.
Stay tuned, so far Kleeb says she and Rhoades haven’t met, talked by phone, emailed or texted.
