Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby defeated in primary

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Marilyn Mosby, a high-profile prosecutor who aligned herself with criminal justice reformers but ended up with legal problems of her own, has lost the Democratic primary for Baltimore state’s attorney to Ivan Bates, a defense attorney.

Baltimore is heavily Democratic, and there is no Republican candidate in the race. Roya Hanna is an unaffiliated candidate who has filed to run in November’s general election.

Mosby, who was a two-term incumbent, rose to national prominence in 2015 when she pursued criminal charges against six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man who suffered a spinal injury after police handcuffed, shackled and placed him headfirst into a van. His death triggered riots and protests. None of the officers was convicted.

In January, a grand jury indicted Mosby on two counts each of perjury and making a false statement on a loan application in purchasing a home in Kissimmee, Florida, and a condominium in Long Boat Key, Florida. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The indictment accuses Mosby of falsely stating that the COVID-19 pandemic harmed her finances so she could withdraw $90,000 from her city retirement account. Mosby’s gross salary in 2020 was over $247,000 and never was reduced, according to the indictment.

[”...and there is no Republican candidate in the race.”

Typical GOP bull$hit. Don’t even attempt to put up a fight. ]


Baltimore is over 60% black. The one constant with blacks is wherever they are, they vote 90% Democrat. Other demos vary a great deal. Hispanics vote much more GOP, much like whites, in TX, just as they vote much more Democrat, just like whites, in CA. But blacks are pretty monolithic. The principal factors? Blacks like Democrat-supplied mulligans for criminal charges, school admissions (AA) and hiring (AA).

Hispanics get mulligans, too, but they’re much less inclined to back the criminals in their communities or racial quotas. For them, pride means standing on your own two feet. For too many in the black community, pride means sticking it to whitey, or anyone who stands in the way of their personal gain, by hook or by crook.

Bottom line? Baltimore is lost cause, unless the GOP wants to put its cash behind a far leftist a hair to the right of the even further left Democrat - someone like Maxine Waters but not yet indictable. Just to say the GOP won Baltimore.

I’ll never understand why people vote for such crooks. They have no concern except their own pocketbooks.

Baltimore has had exactly one elected Republican at any level since WWII. Republicans run but there’s no chance.

Then I guess Baltimore loves what they have and doesn’t want any changes. This tells me...let them eat cake.

“”...and there is no Republican candidate in the race.”

______

That ticks me off so much! You will see an election where no ones runs as a Republican so the conservatives have no choice at all! You can’t even vote for the “lessor evil”. Those deals they make that the GOP will not run a candidate in congressional “democrat” districts just leaves the voters with status quo. Why do that intentionally back away from an opportunity such as that? Maybe the voters in “blue” districts would like to have a choice!

In this situation, a GOP candidate could have possibly won. It’s obvious the voters wanted a change!

And have made a deal that as long as they get these freebies, the Dems can go ahead with drag queen story time for kids, expose your kids to transgenderism, get absolute freaks to run high-level offices (example: "Rachel" Levine), high gas prices, inflation through the roof, etc.

And given this, they have all the nerve to call black republicans "sellouts".

Sounds like one of those “No bail, No time” Restorative Justice sentences.

That’s right. The Democrats run in every election. Even solid red states like Wyoming. They fight to win.

It’s even worse when they block candidates from running….and still allow the seat to go uncontested.
