Members of the Congressional Black Caucus CBC involved in corruption always get a pass from the Leftist media.
The ‘Cop Pigs’ Painting Isn’t The First Time The Cong. Black Caucus Has Shown Contempt For Police

But overlooking CBC members’ hypocrisy and transgressions has become routine for the left-wing media.
For example, Rep. John Lewis has called Donald Trump an “illegitimate” president and refuses to attend the inauguration, all the while hiding behind the “civil rights icon” credentials he routinely uses to bash Republicans.
The mainstream media touts Lewis’ inauguration boycott as “unprecedented,” but it’s merely business as usual for the Georgia Democrat, who also boycotted George W. Bush’s Inauguration in 2001 for the exact same reason.
The actions of Lewis and Waters are not outliers; they reflect a long history of crime and corruption within the CBC.
In July 2016, Michelle Malkin wrote a piece for National Review in which she detailed several cases of CBC corruption. Among those implicated were:
- Corrine Brown: This twelve-term Democrat from Florida received a 24-count federal indictment while her Congressional Black Caucus colleagues tried to drown out the news with diversionary gun-control theatrics. Brown and her chief of staff are charged with creating a fraudulent education charity to collect over $800,000 in donations from major corporations and philanthropies for their own private slush fund between 2012 and early 2016.
- Chaka Fattah: This eleven-term Pennsylvania Democrat was convicted in late June on 23 charges of racketeering, money laundering, and fraud, along with four other co-defendants. His son was sentenced earlier this year to a five-year prison term after being found guilty of 22 counts of separate federal bank- and tax-fraud charges related to his misuse of business loans and federal education contracts to pay for designer clothes, massive bar tabs, and luxury cars.
- Eddie Bernice Johnson: This twelve-term Democrat from Dallas similarly helped steer thousands of dollars in Congressional Black Caucus Foundation college scholarships to four family members and two of her top aide’s children, in violation of the nonprofit’s rules.
And of course:
- Maxine Waters: This 13-term Beltway swamp queen from California and past chair of the Congressional Black Caucus walked away with a slap on the wrist from the toothless House Ethics Committee in 2012 after being charged with multiple ethics violations related to her meddling in minority-owned OneUnited Bank.
The list goes on, but most Americans will hear little to nothing about this systemic corruption because in the world of Democratic Party-mainstream media collusion, the Congressional Black Caucus is the most sacred of sacred
cows.

Spot on! The MSM essentially acts as a Praetorian Guard for the CBC.
