Former Mayor Pugh apologizes to residents of Baltimore in video on eve of sentencing: ‘I really messed up’
Baltimore Sun ^ | 2/26/20 | JUSTIN FENTON

On the eve of her sentencing on federal fraud and tax charges, former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is apologizing for her conduct in a video submitted by her attorneys to the court.

“I accept responsibility,” Pugh says in the 13-minute video. “I accept total responsibility. I’ve pled guilty. And I’m sorry. I don’t know any other words that could be strong. I am so sorry.”

The conclusion of the video shows Pugh, with her hands clasped in front of her face, with a voice-over of her saying: “When I think about me and my capacity and my capabilities and all of the things I’ve been able to do, I said, ‘How did you end up here? How did you mess this up?’”

To think her corruption is small potatoes compared to Washington and they skate.

“How did you end up here? How did you mess this up?”

My defense will be: What, God, did you expect?

I messed up

Translation: "I got caught, but I'm a BF Democrat I am allowed to do anything I want so I'll probably only get a slap on the wrist if I pretend to be remorseful"

Yeah right. Like every RAT, the only thing you’re sorry about is that you got caught.

“When I think about me and my capacity and my capabilities and all of the things I’ve been able to do,...”

How does someone become this self-deluded (and Pugh is merely an example of many)? This idiot performed dismally as mayor, failed at relatively small-time grifting, then humiliated herself faking illness, badly, to wriggle off the hook; yet, none of that can shake her belief in her incredible abilities and value. Pugh reminds me of Nero, lamenting his forced suicide as a tragic loss to Art.

I was thinking the same thing. “How, HOW could my incredible intelligence and willingness to serve get such a selfless and giving person like me into a terrible situation like this?”

I sure am sorry I got caught.

Next time y’all won’t catch me.
