Congress has a Black Caucus Racism Problem
The vicious cycle of racism and thievery in the CBC must be broken.
January 1, 2018 Daniel Greenfield
The Congressional Black Caucus had a front seat to #MeToo with the revelation that $220,000 had been
paid out to a staffer alleging sexual harassment by Rep. Alcee Hastings
(D-FL), a former judge impeached for bribery whose girlfriend has been
on his payroll to the tune of $2.4 million,
and that Rep. Conyers (D-MI) had his own sexual harassment settlement.
That scandal forced Rep. Conyers to resign and hand the seat to his son
at the behest of his wife, Monica, who had been convicted of bribery.
Corruption, fraud and bribery are ongoing problems at the Congressional Black Caucus.
After two decades of financial scandals, Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) was convicted of running a fake charity and sentenced in December. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) was sentenced last December for bribery, fraud and money laundering. His son, Chaka Fattah Jr, was already in prison on unrelated bank fraud charges. Around the same time the wife of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Il) had wrapped up her prison sentence after her husband had ended his prison term a year earlier on fraud charges.
Hardly a year goes by without a criminal case involving a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Bribery and fraud, fake charities and money laundering to pay for the high life are familiar CBC themes . Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. bought a gold Rolex, Michael Jackson and Malcolm X memorabilia, and mink capes. Rep. Brown stole from poor children to pay for an NFL luxury box (won’t you take a knee) and a Beyonce concert. Chaka Fattah Jr. bought Hermes ties and a Ritz-Carlton condo.
