Corrine Brown was another Black Democrat who was in Congress in a gerrymandered district that ran from Jacksonville down to Orlando.
She was charged, convicted and sent to prison for basically using campaign cash for personal expenses.
She was guilty but her crimes pale in comparison to other Democrats, most notably Hillary Clinton who were doing the same thing but on a much grander scale.
I’ve always wondered why she was singled out and punished compared to the others.
The funny part now that she’s out of prison, she just filed to run for Congress again, this time in the 10th District, which is near Orlando, Val Demmings was the Representative but she’s running against Marco Rubio for Senate.
Imagine a convicted felon getting elected to congress. She can’t buy a gun but she could get elected and vote to keep others from buying a gun. Crazy.
The other complete democrat lunatic running for the same seat is Alan Grayson, who was in Congress a number of years back and he was radical as they come.
There was also Black democrat congresscritter William Jefferson from Louisiana, who was tried and convicted on multiple federal corruption charges by the Obama DOJ in 2009, but he was indicted in 2007 before Obama was elected.
He ran for re-election in 2008, after he was indicted and before he was tried, but got poured out in the election.
