So is Santos. According to him, he's part of about 15 protected classes.

Apparently not, if he made all major newscasts and she didn't.

She accepted an inadmissible gift. He stole the money raised for a veteran's dying dog, lied about founding an animal charity, fabricated his education and career, lied about his mother being a victim of 9/11, and his grandmother being a victim of the holocaust, and also lied about having employees killed in the Pulse shooting. Allegedly, of course.
Media bias aside, can you see why one might get reported more than another?
And I have absolutely no time for AOC. She's dreadful. He's worse.

She's much higher profile than he. I'll stand by my judgement.

So both sides are not equal in this case. Interesting.

If I could vote, I'd vote Democrat. I wouldn't like doing it, but I'd still do it.
Not sure I'd vote for AOC, but where I currently live, I'd vote Democrat. Not that it would make any difference around here. I could vote Monster Raving Loony Party, the Dems would still get in.

ABC: Mayor arrested on child porn counts in Maryland college town
NBC: Maryland mayor resigns after he's arrested on 56 counts of child pornography
AP: Maryland mayor arrested on child pornography charges
HuffPo: Mayor Arrested On Child Pornography Counts
CNN: Maryland mayor resigns after being arrested
CBS: Mayor of College Park arrested
Guess which word you won't find in any of those stories, and then get back to me about the equivalence of AOC and Santos.

May I assume that you are pointing out that it is forbidden to mention that a gay guy likes child porn?
I believe it is forbidden to mention that gay guys are perverts in any way.
It has something to do with carbon footprints, reparations and Student Loan Forgiveness.

Which story beat are you referring to, @George-K ? The fact that he was the first gay guy to serve as mayor or the fact that he is a Democrat?
Though, to be fair the NBC article does mention it at the very bottom…
Wojahn made history in College Park by becoming the city's first openly gay man to become mayor, NBC Washington reported in November 2015..

I had no idea he was gay when I heard about this yesterday. You can bet your ass if he had been a Republican, it would have been in the headlines.

Pleads guilty - gets 30 years.
A former mayor of College Park, Md., pleaded guilty on Wednesday to possessing and distributing child sexual abuse imagery under a plea deal in which he agreed to serve 30 years in prison, prosecutors said.
Under the agreement, the former mayor, Patrick Wojahn, 47, who was arrested in March, pleaded guilty in Prince George’s County Circuit Court to 60 counts of distribution of the sexual abuse imagery, 40 counts of possession and 40 counts of possession with intent to distribute.
As part of the plea deal, Mr. Wojahn agreed to serve 30 years of a 150-year prison sentence, with the remainder suspended, according to the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office. He will become eligible to apply for parole after seven and a half years. A judge will sentence him on Nov. 20.
After his release, Mr. Wojahn must register as a sex offender for 25 years and serve five years of probation, said Jessica Garth, an assistant state’s attorney.
“This is a horrific case,” Aisha Braveboy, the Prince George’s County state’s attorney, said in a news release. “The College Park community put its faith and support in him to serve each resident and their best interests. Instead, he let them down in the most disgraceful way.”Mr. Wojahn’s lawyer, David Moyse, did not comment on the guilty plea.
The investigation into Mr. Wojahn began in February when the police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an account on the social media app Kik operating within Prince George’s County had possessed and transmitted images of child sexual abuse.
Investigators determined that the account belonged to Mr. Wojahn, and that he had uploaded such imagery in January. The police then raided his home, seizing phones, a storage device, a tablet and a computer.
New York Times ("All the News (we think) Is Fit To Print") doesn't mention the "D-Word." The
closetclosest they come is "progressive." -

Link to videoSorry I missed this video the first time around. That was fun to watch and listen to. I know I'm (barely in @Jolly 's eyes) a southerner, but the culture and quality of folk in the south is something I'll always be fond of. Laugh or not, the nicest folks (as in, how they act towards visitors) I think I've ever met live in West Virginia.
