Black Lives Matter has gotten into the political game.
It decided to back Karen Peterson, a Louisiana state politician who wanted to get sent to DC.
Surprise… she is corrupt!
Lock Her Up
BLM cracked open its piggy bank to start the Black Lives Matter PAC.
The only candidate it has given money to during this election cycle is Peterson.
Well, Peterson gave the money to the casino and decided to pay some bills with it.
She has been brought up on fraud charges, which she is blaming on a gambling addiction.
Now, I do have to give her props for owning up to this crime, but that does not take away from the fact she committed a crime.
Peterson tweeted out her confession…
Today marks an important step in my life-long recovery as I continue to address my gambling addiction. I sincerely apologize for the impact from my compulsive behavior resulting from this addiction. (1 of 2)#gamblingrecovery #makingamends

That is a move to get some leniency in her plea deal, as she is facing massive fines and 20 years in prison.
My guess is if she gets a liberal judge… a slap on the wrist, probation, and some addiction treatment.
Rarely are politicians held accountable for their nefarious actions, so I don’t expect this to be any different.
