Prosecutors say the Los Angeles-area Democrat accepted about $100,000 in cash bribes and other perks in exchange for his supporting or opposing bills. Calderon has pleaded not guilty.
I've learned over the years that's how you tell if it's a Democrat. If a Republican is involved in a scandal it will be in the headline or in the first paragraph. If it's a Democrat they won't mention it at all or it will be near the end.
If it's a moderate Democrat it might say, "Conservative Congressman Caught.....Blah, Blah," and then never mention party.
Hmm. Maybe he’s an independent. Let’s see if we can find something doing a search. Oh, here’s a story from when he was elected.
Democrat Patrick Cannon, who rose from public housing to successful careers in business and politics, won his “life goal” Tuesday night, defeating Republican Edwin Peacock to become Charlotte’s next mayor.
First word of the story when he was elected, not a mention anywhere when he’s arrested.
Wow. This just gets deeper and deeper. They are also charging this anti-gun Democrat with "conspiracy to traffic firearms".
