Libby Bakalar, the city attorney for Bethel, appeared to have posted on social media a graphic of Sen. Lora Reinbold’s head on a vibrator. That post is now no longer visible, but remnants of it remain in screenshots shared on the Internet.
She was commenting on Reinbold’s method for breaking up chest congestion associated with Covid-19.
Bakalar, whose trademark on social media is audaciousness, also posted a warning that she will sue anyone who harasses her by writing to her or calling her regarding her social media posts.
She is a former assistant attorney general who was released by the Dunleavy Administration who is suing the Administration because of wrongful termination. She is represented by the ACLU.
Willy Keppel, a  Quinhagaklresident who often comments on political issues, took issue with the post. He asked the City Council of Bethel if it would also be acceptable to put Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky’s head on a vibrator, or it that was just ok for Republican lawmakers.
“This is an officer of the Court and like it or note, what Bethel does, affects the whole Delta,” he said, calling for her immediate dismissal.
As for Reinbold, she has aid on social media she is now better after fighting Covid-19.
