Collin County Democrat Party Chair Sues Democrat Activist
Democrats had a horrible night on Tuesday, and it seems that the Collin County Democrat Party is engaging in legal infighting.
Current Revolt has obtained a copy of a petition filed by the Collin County Democrat Party Chairwoman, Sheena King, against Steven Spainhouer, a Democrat activist in Collin County.
In the filing, Democratic Chairwoman King seeks to obtain deposition testimony and evidence from Spainhouer. King lists a series of inquiries she’s seeking, including Spainhouer accusing her of being an anti-Semite, anonymous mail and harassing communications, stalking, defamatory statements, and invasions of privacy.
Steven Spainhouer made headlines in 2023 when he was accused by police of lying and spreading misinformation when he tried to portray himself as a good samaritan after a mass shooting.
Spainhouer claimed he raced to the Allen Premium Outlets after getting a call from his son about the shooting, with the frantic dad recalling how he arrived before any other first responder and tried to administer first aid to the victims, including a girl who “had no face” and a boy who was hiding underneath his dead mother.
Spainhouer was hailed as a hero in the middle of the tragedy, and he went on national media outlets to call for gun reform in the Lone Star State despite being a “gun lover.”
Police would later release statements informing the public that Spainhouer was a liar.
Allen police, however, said the dramatic testimony does not fit with the official timeline of the shooting, warning the public and media to stop sharing Spainhouer’s tale.
“Allen Police Department wants to inform the public of discrepancies with statements made by a witness to several media outlets. Following the shooting at Allen Premium Outlets, Mr. Steven Spainhouer of McKinney, Texas gave multiple public accounts of his actions,” the police said in a statement.
“Inconsistencies between these public accounts and investigative facts led Allen Police Department to conduct a follow-up interview. During this interview, detectives determined that Mr. Spainhouer is not a credible incident witness.”
Current Revolt reached out to Spainhouer and Chairwoman King for comment. We did not receive responses at the time of publishing.
