Democrats were quick to impeach President Trump because they considered him “corrupt.”
Perhaps they should be taking a look in their own backyard!
A Democrat state senator from Tennessee, Katrina Robinson, swindled the state out of hundreds of thousands of dollards to pay for her lavish lifestyle.
Among many things, she paid for her wedding and expensive handbags, all on the taxpayers dime!
The New York Post reports on the story:
A Tennessee state senator was charged with swindling $600,000 in federal funds to pay for her wedding and finance a lavish lifestyle, federal prosecutors announced Wednesday.
From 2015 to 2019, state Sen. Katrina Robinson is accused of stealing the money that was granted to The Healthcare Institute — a company she directed, according to prosecutors.
In addition to covering her wedding costs, Robinson, a Democrat from a Memphis district elected in 2018, is charged with using the funds to pay for her honeymoon and pay legal fees for her divorce, the feds charge.
With the stolen money the lawmaker also paid for her daughter’s 2016 Jeep Renegade, home improvements, a $500 Louis Vuitton handbag and invested in a snow cone business run by her children, prosecutors and the FBI said.
Robinson was charged with theft, embezzlement and wire fraud.
Despite the charges, she said she will continue to serve in the state legislature “with the same integrity, the same passion that I’ve demonstrated since you’ve elected me to this office.”
The fact that she plans to continue to serve in the state senate is a slap in the face to the citizens of Tennessee.
If Democrats had any integrity, they would be calling for her removal from the senate.
