January 1, Convicted Felon Running for Congress

Published

on

Former Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) has announced that she’s running for Congress again after her conviction on 18 counts stemming from fraud was overturned last year.

Although Brown’s conviction was overturned, she just pleaded guilty to one count of fraud last month as part of a plea deal. A federal judge sentenced Brown to time served — roughly two years and eight months.

“I’ve represented most of the people of the new 10th District during my 24 years in Congress and I always earned huge support in this region,” Brown said in a press release.

“Now I see our hard-won gains are being taken away from us. Minorities have lost opportunities to elect candidates of their choice because of the recent gerrymandering in the State of Florida.”

Also vying for Florida’s 10th District seat is civil rights lawyer Natalie Jackson, who served as Brown’s co-counsel during her trial.

“I helped the people of Orlando when the Pulse shooting happened. I helped when the hurricanes hit. I worked with the community by coordinating relief aid after an earthquake devastated Haiti. And I led the fight when Trayvon Martin was viciously gunned down,” Brown said.

“I carry the people of Orlando in my heart wherever I go. And they have responded with an outcry of support and prayer that has touched my heart. To them I say, thank you for your continued prayers and support! I will continue to fight to make sure your voice is heard. To God be the glory!”

    RTFUS, RTFU: SO WHAT? the government is overrun by them now, so what does one more make a difference. All you do is check Santa’s list and pick a NITWIT backed Mayor, or DA, all in same mixing bowl. Have a great vote! Could be your last, as you know, at least legally from 6ft under you can’t get another one, but we know that can be too. Who is going to knock for you to answer? Oh we for sure know who won’t , Other FELONS!

    If this criminal is elected in Orlando, they deserve what they get, but Orlando, Orange county has a majority of Dem/Communists running it. Val Demmings is running against Rubio and she has an ad saying defunding the police is crazy, but she is a Dem/Communist and will do whatever they want her to do and they lie with every breath. You can not trust them.

    I’m on a quest to get American voters to analyze carefully career politicians carefully and vote them out! All the old timers are filthy, stinking rich at working class taxpayer’s expense! Don’t know why they can’t see (as I do – now that I have time to analyze carefullyc after retiring from 2 jobs at age 74) that career politicians have also made their families super- rich elitists from their connections, Inner- information, & pay-to-play foundations & schemes. The criminal record is of less importance than her career politician status!

    Considering that a large percentage of Congress is populated with career criminals, she has impeccable credentials.

    Not quite as bad as the successful charges of discrimination against Donald Trump who marked applications of prospective black renters in his developments so they would be denied. Whites were promised all white neighborhoods. He was fined but continued this practice. I do not know why a black person would vote for him knowing his racist past,

      Before you blurt out statements, you might consider checking the REAL facts, instead of the hate facts perpetrated against Trump, every minute of every day. In the last 2 years he gave $50,000,000 to black communities to help them change their neighborhoods. Might better check it out, prior to blurting it out & making a fool of yourself. Hate causes one to blurt, due to their opinions of someone, with no facts. One must have knowledge that an opinion is not the same as a fact. Where do you get your opinions. Why would he do such a thing, then turn around & give $50,000,000 to black communities, plus give a black lady a permanent home in his Trump Towers? The lady is still living in Trump towers, FREE & has been for many, many years. You just made a fool of yourself. Try something other than fake crap from media liars.
      Sounds like you are the one who is racist, since you are blurting out fake news, instead of true news, prior to checking what you are saying. Usually, the hate that is directed towards Trump comes from extreme jealously…………
