While I’m all for making an example out of corrupt politicians, this guy got targeted for $4k, while a pedophile is grifting billions. He’s not straight, rich and White, so it makes sense.
The law only applies to those who aren’t of the privileged capital class.
Allegations of misusing $4,000. I'm not clicking a New York Post link to find out more but it doesn't seem like he's been convicted of anything.
We had that happen to a young mayor in Texas and he was white and 21. He was using city supplies and funds for his private newspaper.
NYPost is a right wing propaganda rag and are only relishing this because he's black. Yes let's go after corrupt politicians but 4k is peanuts compared to what the old white men are getting away with right fucking now.
But he's black. Did you miss that part?
and sexting an 18-year-old.
Sooo someone not only of legal age but also in his age bracket? Why tf would that be a reason to oust someone?
Sounds like he stole $4k
Edit: this is nypost. It's a known source of disinformation. Please report to mods
Because he's black and gay in Georgia.
He should have sexted a child like any proper American politician. Now he's making them look bad.
"Let's remind the soldiers what they're fighting for."
A 23-year-old having a relationship with an 18-year-old isn’t that creepy. They’re both pretty much kids still, at least in terms of brain development and experience.
It's legal. But I think most people would agree its very weird.
I think it's pretty creepy. The maturity difference alone makes it creepy. It doesn't matter when you're 25+ , but at their age it matters.
Five years a major maturity difference?
I personally wasn’t that different from 18 to 23. And kids are growing up much slower, at least emotionally, than they were before.
I am definitely going off my own experience, I guess it is pretty different for everybody.
Too old for US administration
Pedophilia is a requirement to be accepted into the club. Psychopathic and sociopathic criminals only.
Cool NY Post, now how about Trump grafting billions and being a pedophile
That's different.
OP doesn't even see the irony.
His problem was that he didn't steal enough, and he wasn't sexting a child.
And he was black. In Georgia.
Sounds like insiders in the government were constantly looking for any minor excuse to impeach him.
That said, if he really is guilty of anything then it should be addressed.
But this is so minor. How about we go after the politicians stealing millions and billions of dollars?
accused of using his city purchasing card for more than $4,000 in personal expenses, including restaurant meals, clothing, haircuts and a movie, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
He reportedly spent $2,600 on gas and used a city vehicle for personal purposes.
According to Williams’ testimony, he did not intend to use city funds and later repaid the money, Fox 5 reported.
He further claimed the city-issued card looked similar to his personal card and said he later replaced the cards to avoid future confusion, the outlet reported.
He tried to build Ice Town didn't he?
Excuse to remove mayor. Exaggerated shock - pear clutching.
If he were president he could have gotten away with it.
If he were a white MAGA...
