Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, Democrat accused of stealing FEMA funds, faces rare ethics "trial"

That's why Rs are publicizing her after keeping Casthorne, Gaitz, and the slimeball Dulturer from Texas quiet. And they'll use it it to claim fraud, deny funds to the needy.

This implies that because (white) people on the other side of the aisle commit fraud the Congresswoman shouldn’t be held accountable for allegedly stealing millions in taxpayer funds. If she’s found guilty in the court of law, she should face accountability. So should Republican lawmakers who commit fraud. Both things can be true. As a BW, I find it a little insulting when people lazily throw around the “going after a Black woman” assertion. We are capable of following the law and elected officials, more than anyone, quite frankly, should know better.

The allegations against her are pretty egregious and extensive; it should be fascinating to see how they try to spin her way out of this one. ". . .But instead of returning the ($5.1m) overpayment, Cherfilus-McCormick and her brother moved the funds to several other bank accounts "to disguise its source,". . . and a campaign staffer allegedly funneled some of the funds to friends and relatives, who donated it back to her campaign disguised as their own personal contributions." She also bought herself a 3.14-carat yellow diamond ring, jewelry from Tiffany & Co., a Tesla, designer clothing, high-end hotels and a cruise, and accepted an $800K payment from a Haitian oil company.
