In a strongly-worded statement, Montana Republican Party Chairman Don “K” Kaltschmidt called on Judge Mike Menahan to recuse himself from the CI-128 case. Kaltschmidt accused the judge of bias, alleging that Menahan has consistently favored pro-abortion activists throughout his career.
“Judge Menahan has sold out to pro-abortion activists his entire career,” Kaltschmidt declared. He pointed to the judge’s high approval ratings from Planned Parenthood Advocates of Montana and NARAL Pro-Choice Montana as evidence of this bias.
Menahan served a Democrat in the Montana House of Reprsentatives from 2009 to 2013.
