Robinson, who is Black, said she will continue serving her district in the Senate “with the same integrity, the same passion that I’ve demonstrated since you’ve elected me to this office.”

Well, at least she’s consistent, she’s continuing onward with the same integrity she has had since the election, in other words, no integrity whatsoever, and her passion will be theft.

“...if I were not in the position that I’m in, that if I did not champion the voices, the views and the faces that I represent, that I would not be in this moment right now,” Robinson said.”

Translation: Without pandering, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to steal on this scale.”

The Memphis-based school received received more than $2.2 million in federal grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

From 2015 through 2019, Robinson stole more than $600,000 and used it to pay for her wedding and honeymoon, a 2016 Jeep Renegade for her daughter, travel and entertainment for her family, and an event for her state Senate campaign, prosecutors said.

Just taking her share....

Here she is admitting it was a crime of opportunity, so stupid.

“It is believed that if I were not in the position that I’m in, that if I did not champion the voices, the views and the faces that I represent, that I would not be in this moment right now,” Robinson said.
