When the attorneys leave, Leyton points to a desk knick-knack -- a sculpted figurine of an African-American boy cradled in a U.S. flag -- and tells a visitor: This is what his job is about.

"To me, it depicts what I do," Leyton said.

Leyton, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, has taken great pains to portray himself as an enforcer -- one who brazenly slaps criminals around -- and a gentle champion for the weak, such as seniors and children. Though this image has drawn campaign attacks, the 56-year-old attorney has held fast to his role as a defender, saying this best qualifies him to become "the people's lawyer." As the state's top cop, Leyton said he will defend consumers from swindlers and taxpayers from corrupt public officials.

"I'm going to Lansing to reform it, to change it," Leyton said.

Yep.  The McIntosh family is the wrong complexion.  "Get over it."

Yannow, I used to wonder why the Left, Progressives, Democrats, pick whatever term you like, are always such racist bastards but anymore I don't.  It's blatantly clear that the Left needs to keep creating a poverty and race struggle of victimhood and entitlement programs to keep the weak minded and lazy on the plantation.

Leyton is no "people's lawyer" as the headline in the News states.  He's a goddam race hustling enslaver for his personal benefit and his Democrat Partys' socialist utopia agenda that is backed by a hole litany of union brotherhoods.
