The Internal Revenue Service has slapped $145,000 worth of liens on the lawmaker and her husband, Hubert Campbell.

What don't you people understand: Rep. Daphne Campbell is a trificta winner: they are above the law and are allowed to game the system for their advantage

Black, Women, Democrat.

To think otherwise is racist, misogyny, and partisan. /S

They snuck this line in right under the headline at the source. Didn't make it to the exerpt, though.

State Democratic Rep. Daphne Campbell faces IRS and state investigation. The state party wants her to consider resigning.

JFK, patron saint of the Democrat Party, said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.”

What have the Black Democrats at all levels of government, elected by Black Democrats, done for our country?
