What’s Happening:
This year, Democrats hope to win back the White House, the Senate, and flip red stats blue.
But only if Americans are willing to vote for them.
Every time voters give them a chance, though, Democrats prove they’re more interested in serving themselves.
Here is yet another case of a local Democrat taking what wasn’t hers. She’s still in office:
Federal authorities charged Democratic Tennessee State Senator Katrina Robinson on July 29 with theft and embezzlement, according to court documents.
Robinson, 39, allegedly stole $600,000 from The Healthcare Institute, where she served as a director. The institute received $2.2 million in grants and Robinson used a large portion of the money for personal purchases for herself and her family in violation of the term of the grant.
A Democratic Tennessee state senator has been charged by federal authorities for embezzlement.
According to the charges Katrina Robinson took $600,000 from The Healthcare Institute.
As director she took the money from a $2.2 million grant meant for the institute on purchases for herself and her family.
Feds say she stole some of the money to buy a Jeep Renegade for her daughter. She also bought a $5,000 wrought iron door for her home.
Then there were numerous clothing, accessories, and beauty products. $600,000 can buy a lot of makeup, it seems.
She also apparently spent cash on her wedding, honeymoon, and even legal fees for her divorce.
As shocking as these charges appear, it is not the first time a local Democrat was caught taking money.
Recently, state and local Democrats have been charged with using their position to get favors and cash.
Others allegedly channeled tax dollars for personal use.
Again and again, it appears Democrats see public service as a get-rich-quick scheme. Voters elect them, trusting they’ll put citizens first.
Instead, these Democrats help themselves to the good life, all on Americans’ dime.
Do you want this representative to be held accountable?
