Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was slapped with a savage community note on X after a $109,000, 3-carat yellow diamond ring she’s accused of buying with ill-gotten FEMA funds was conspicuously edited out of a photo.
Eagle-eyed X sleuths noticed the pricey, square-cut bauble was missing from a Christmas post from the South Florida Democrat, which bore her official congressional portrait — and a naked left ring finger.
“This portrait of Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick has been altered to remove a ring off of her left hand that she bought using $109K of stolen FEMA funds,” the community note said.
The three-term congresswoman, 46, was indicted last month for allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA funds to support her 2021 congressional campaign. She has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since December 2023.

This seems like such an easy slam dunk, yet the fact she’s still in office after 2 years of investigation is legitimately depressing.
I bought my bride a 2cwt moissanite pendant for a few hundred bucks. I can’t imagine what I could get her with a few million dollars at hand.
Don’t laugh, y’all. It’s what I can afford. ShopLC.
If I was a millionaire it would be different.
How did I know before I looked, Yogi?
Hastings represented a Congressional District in Fort Lauderdale.
Hastings - also Black - was famous for being just one of eight federal Judges to be impeached and expelled by the House of Representatives.
After being impeached and removed, Hastings ran for - and won - a Congressional seat!
I have a feeling this particular Congressional District is corrupt - from top to toe!
So many pathetic, integrity-free criminals..so little time.

Anyone remember the 1990s women’s lib favorite movie “The Piano”?
