facebook | Today, the public was made aware of the misconduct of Missouri State Representative District 36, Mark A. Sharp. After an investigation was conducted by the Texas Education Agency, Representative Mark Sharp was terminated from his teaching position by the Caddo Mills Independent School District for searching for firearms using school resources when the district asked him not to and for sharing inappropriate videos with students in 2017 (link below). Not only that, Representative Sharp exhibits homophobic, antisemitic, and sexist ideals in remarks/posts still on his social media (link below). Words cannot describe how embarrassed and insulted I am as a Kansas Citian that this individual represents the great people of District 36.
Out of respect for the office, Missouri State Representative Mark Sharp must resign and suspend his re-election campaign effective immediatley. If he fails to do so, I call on the Missouri Democratic Party, Missouri House Democrats, Missouri Senate Democrats, and the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus, Inc. to step in because this inappropriate behavior is simply not acceptable for a state representative to exhibit. I have great respect for leaders of color, but make no mistake, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism, and predatory behavior have no place in the Missouri Democratic Party.

Not even a tempest in a teapot among grown folks, but for the ruthlessly amoral sock-puppet cancel culture, it's conceivable that this "tea" might actually sting.
kansascity | Sharp, who faces one challenger in the Aug. 4 primary, was nominated
by local Democrats and won a special election last year to replace state
Rep. Daron McGee. McGee resigned while being investigated by a bipartisan House committee for alleged sexual harassment of a former staffer.
Sharp’s
past came to light Tuesday through multiple posts by an anonymous
Twitter account titled “Time’s Up - Missouri,” which was created this
month and has tweeted exclusively about Sharp.
The anonymous
Twitter posts were shared by several, including Rachel Gonzalez, a
Kansas City activist and member of state party executive committee.
The Facebook posts tweeted by the anonymous account still exists on
Sharp’s personal page and date back to posts Sharp made in 2011 and
2012.
Two posts objectified women as “meat.”
“Question:
women are you a piece of meat that any stray dog has a chance at, or
are you a lady that only an established man has a shot at?” Sharp
posted.
“Dogs need meat...MEN need a lady in the streets and u kno the rest,” he posted.
In
talking about national news about coaches being accused of molesting
young men, Sharp posted in 2011, “sports used to be a sure way to get
away from that homo shyt.”
“When I was 24-25, I said things on Facebook that were stupid, dumb, uninformed and politically incorrect,” Sharp said.
Sharp said the posts do not reflect who he is now and didn’t know the posts still existed.
