Notice a pattern here?
Not a day goes by where some story of a BLM supporter or pundit committing fraud or other financial crimes surfaces, why does this keep happening?
Karen Peterson, a former state senator for Louisiana, has been charged for allegedly conducting a wire-fraud scheme.
Prosecutors claim that Peterson was dipping into her campaign contributions and spending the money on personal expenses throughout the last 7 years. BLM contributed at least $100,000 to her campaign.
The former state senator resigned in April, citing her gambling addiction and mental health problems for her departure from office.
Peterson now faces up to 20 years behind bars and a steep $250,000 fine if convicted:

Conservative Brief had more:
Prosecutors contend the disgraced Democrat used the illegally obtained money for personal expenses unrelated to her campaign, including paying gambling-related expenses.
She compounded her crime by asking contributors for more contributions without disclosing she had used previous donations for personal expenses, the U.S. attorney declared.
If Karen Carter Peterson was a MAGA GOP candidate charged w/ wire fraud to fund her gambling & personal expenses, Dem-biased #media would be reporting on it nonstop.
