First, who is Jackie Espinosa:
Jackie Espinosa is the Mayor of Kissimmee, Florida. And she is in a lot of trouble.
According to Meredich Deliso’s article for ABC News:
A Florida mayor was arrested Wednesday on theft and fraud charges alleging that she illegally enriched herself and family members through a COVID-19 small business relief program launched under her administration, according to the state’s attorney general.
Kissimmee Mayor Jackie Espinosa is being charged with grand theft, a second-degree felony, and organized scheme to defraud, a first-degree felony, according to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.
Next, what is her party affiliation?
Jackie Espinosa is a Democrat.
And why would I ask what her party affiliation is?
Because the ABC News article I cited above – which is 15 paragraphs long – does not mention it.
That’s right. A 15 paragraph article, citing serious charges against the Mayor of a a major Florida City (85,000 population) has a Mayor who is being charged with felonious offenses, and which political party that Mayor belongs to.
I will end with one more question: If Jackie Espinosa were a Republican, do you think ABC News would allow it to be published without mentioning her political affiliation?
Please answer after you stop laughing. I’ll wait………
