The bitch must’ve “set him up” again.
I lived in DC in the late 80’s, when Barry had his first public issues with Cocaine, whores, and kickbacks.
I still remember the video of him, totally high, pawing at some woman saying “c’mon baby!” (I do the exact same voice and routine with my wife when I want to annoy her!)
I never overestimated the local population of DC, but even then, was totally surprised that Barry was practically made a hero, and still has a political life 25 years later.
