Hell. Sharpton ran for President just so he could spend a month at the FOur Seasons. If you are a Democrat you can do anything.

Do you have the FR link? I didn’t see her anywhere on the FR search function. But My thought is that it’s worth reminding Michiganders. My friend there apprised me of this just yesterday. He gets stuff on One News Now, no cross-posting of it allowed to FR.

Alan Keyes did the same thing.

“During the 1992 election, Keyes attracted controversy when he took a $8,463/month salary from his campaign fund”

At least the Clintons were smart enough to use their foundation as a money laundry rather than stealing it directly.

They used to wait until they were elected before they started stealing.

I was recently in Detroit area and was shocked by how many muslims are running for office. Sharia lite anyone?
