“Ma Barker was cleaner than hellary.”

Was reading about her a couple weeks ago.

Alvin Karpis, the gang’s second most notorious member, later said that Ma was just “an old-fashioned homebody from the Ozarks...superstitious, gullible, simple, cantankerous and, well, generally law abiding”.[6] He concluded that,

“ The most ridiculous story in the annals of crime is that Ma Barker was the mastermind behind the Karpis-Barker gang. . . . She wasn’t a leader of criminals or even a criminal herself. There is not one police photograph of her or set of fingerprints taken while she was alive . . . she knew we were criminals but her participation in our careers was limited to one function: when we traveled together, we moved as a mother and her sons. What could look more innocent?[16]

I think he also said she could barely organize a decent breakfast much less manage a criminal gang. Much like hillary.
