FLASHBACK: Baltimore Mayor Fled State Amid Federal Raids Over Corruption
The former Mayor of Baltimore fled the state amid federal raids over corruption charges.

Only three months ago, the Mayor of Baltimore fled the state and essentially went into hiding as the federal government conducted raids relating to her alleged corruption.
As President Donald Trump continues to be called a racist for describing the city of Baltimore, Maryland as an “infested” place full of rats, trash, crime, and corruption, Americans are remembering a recent corruption scandal that saw Baltimore, Maryland Mayor Catherine Pugh, a Democrat, flee the state.
Big League Politics reported in April:

Catherine Pugh, the Democrat mayor of Baltimore has reportedly fled the state of Maryland amid FBI and IRS raids on her home, and her office in City Hall.

Her attorney reportedly did not reply to a comment request.
Citing health concerns, Pugh took an indefinite leave of absence just as an investigation was opened into her dealings selling children’s books.
Pugh would later resign over the corruption charges, prompting the mainstream media to lament her departure from the state’s political scene.
CNN, for example, called it an “absolutely stunning fall”:
On Thursday, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh resigned just a few weeks after news broke of a no-bid book deal — via a state agency — for a book she had self-published. Pugh, in the wake of the initial reporting by the Baltimore Sun, had largely disappeared from public view and her resignation was more a matter of when, not if.
For more on Pugh’s fall — and what it says about the city she once led — I reached out to the Sun’s Dan Rodricks. Our conversation, conducted via email and lightly edited for flow, is below.
While President Trump is called racist for describing the city accurately, it is worth nothing that local media agreed with the president publicly in 2016.
efore the hyper-partisanship set in completely with the fake news media, the Baltimore Sun published an article declaring that Trump is correct about his assertion that Baltimore and other large Democrat-run cities are disaster zones.
The op/ed was written by Sean Kennedy at the Maryland Public Policy Institute in Nov. 2016, shortly after Trump was elected to the White House, admitting the problems with Baltimore that Trump brought up were in fact legitimate.
“Donald J. Trump is known for his hyperbole, but not all of his ideas are a stretch. Our inner cities are a “disaster,” as he said in the final presidential debate — and they should be officially declared so,” Kennedy wrote.
Big League Politics will continue to track and chronicle leftist absurdity related to the city of Baltimore and Democrats’ response to the president.

Dan Crenshaw White Knights for Liz Cheney After Republicans Blast Her Support for Trump’s Second Impeachment
Birds of a feather flock together.

Liz Cheney, daughter of Dick, was one of ten GOP House members to vote “yes” on President Donald Trump’s unprecedented second impeachment. Then when some were calling on Cheney to resign over her disgraceful vote, Dan Crenshaw, who voted against impeachment, quickly came to her defense and announced his “full support” for her.
“Let’s get some truth on the record: @Liz_Cheney has a hell of a lot more backbone than most, & is a principled leader with a fierce intellect,” Crenshaw tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “She will continue to be a much needed leader in the conference, with my full support.”
“We can disagree without tearing each other apart,” he added.

Crenshaw himself was then roundly criticized in the replies to his tweet.
The people of Wyoming can do better than Liz Cheney, like the people of Texas can do better than you

I wish SNL never mocked you, because then you'd just be some un-known RINO, but unfortunately they made you a star.

Really thought you were the man. Much respect for your service and sacrifice, but if you are part of the GOP trying to purge the party of Trumpism. Count me out. I can’t handle more Romney n McCain candidates

So sad. Turns out your just another politician. You’re right about disagreeing. You’ll see it at the ballot box next election how we can peacefully disagree.

Cheney’s vote comes as no surprise. Big League Politics reported on her recent statement in support of Trump’s second impeachment, part of which read: “There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution. I will vote to impeach the President.” For this CNN laughably called her the “conscience of Republicans.”

As the old saying goes, “birds of a feather flock together.” Dan Crenshaw and Liz Cheney most certainly do not represent the future of the GOP.
