Damn. I expect more from Democrats - higher standards. This is Republican kind of sh*t.
-
I mean I'm all for making her face consequences but it feels idiotic as fuck to hold her accountable while Trump embezzles millions from us daily.
-
How did her family's FL healthcare company receive a $5M overpayment from FEMA?
Trump has pardoned multiple MAGA supporters for Medicare/Medicaid fraud in FL, one over $1B, but several for tens or hundreds of millions.
So forgive me for saying this sounds political.
Trump’s pardons included health care execs behind massive frauds
The list of some 200 Trump pardons or commutations, most issued as he vacated the White House this week, included at least seven doctors or health care entrepreneurs who ran discredited health care en...

I thought we rewarded felons and traitors?
-
Funny how these baseless charges keep getting brought only against progressive black women
-
IF she did .....punish her ...but if a trump revenge thing ....PUNISH HIM ...IMPEACH THE MF
-
FAKE NEWS ..
-
Is she actually guilty or did she just piss off the mad dictator?
-
Witch hunt with fabricated accusations while Trump embezzles billions in taxpayer money! 🤮
-
Then send her to jail, after every scumbags in this regime and every reichpublican goons.
-
I've got used toilet paper that has more value than anything that comes out of the Trump DOJ. Unfortunately at this point in time nothing coming from the Trump DOJ can be considered valid as Trump has sworn to use the DOJ to attack his enemies.
-
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
-
has she considered running for president as a republican?
-
Hi, yes, hello. Stealing money from the government as a politician isn't illegal anymore. Didn't you figure that out when you reported on all those republican politicians bilking us?
-
She should become a republican...they are cool with this...oh she would also need to become a rich, white, male, (fake) christian douchebag...it also helps to be secretly gay.
-
Black people be theiving SHOCKING
-
Trump manipulation. Get him out of office before he destroys your country. There is no place for a White Nationalist in the top spot in the land. Wth is wrong with people?
-
Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick calls charges "unjust"... stay tuned !
-
Forbes keeps doing this, but they've never really been on the right side of anything.
-
Do the crime. Pay the time. Applies to all parties.
-
A shame she didn’t opt for sex trafficking children instead.. she would only be looking at 20 yrs in a country club prison with a strong possibility of pardon.
-
-
Sooooo... it's not only top Ukrainian officials that are corrupt 🤔🤔
-
These comments with the exception of punish her if she's guilty, are so predictable. There are a lot of Subaru drivers here.
-
Plus this also pisses me off, because we are losing to Trump through attrition. We don't need dishonest people running. Lord, it shows you what they're after. We had 8 (!) Democrats die in the past year! 8! Why are they running for office if they are old or sick?!
-
How much has trump stolen from all of us and absolutely nothing happens to him!
-
Okay.
-
If she’s guilty, punish her. If this is just another trumpian revenge thing then punish him.
-
Trump opened up sycophants to steel trillions from us, go k ill em!!
-
Now do Desantis...
-
Florida
-
Nice coverage
You grown your balls to call out Trump and corruption
If she’s guilty, she needs to see time
Now do Trump
-
This should just be overlooked & forgotten because she didn’t do anything worse than what the republicans do every day. Who cares?
-
DEMOCRAT. Not DEMOCRATIC.
Journalism 101: Correctly Name the REAL Focus of Your Story.
Otherwise we might think this is a HACK job.
-
If she was maga she’d be under consideration for a cabinet position. Oh, she‘d also need to be a man and white.
-
Selective enforcement
-
So she (allegedly)took lessons from Rick Scott but wrong color, wrong sex, and wrong party to get out of it in Florida?
-
Such an idiot. Did she really think she could get away with it?
-
Florida again
-
This is NOT a defense of the alleged behavior, but just a note to say that a justice system that is used exclusively against the democratic party, while allowing complete disregard for the law by republicans, CANNOT work.
-
This is insane!!! Why people are so greedy and dishonest. No conscience!!
-
If you done the crime you do the time !
-
Of course justice should be served to all, but I'm getting this post pushed at me constantly when the president of the United States of America is threatening to kill congress people for suggesting our military follow U.S. law.
-
This is the same thing that Marco Rubio did
-
Does this mean she won’t get the $2K trump kickback check? 🤣😂🤣😂
-
53 years shows how money is valued more than a human life — unless her actions can be proven to have caused harm, in which case Trump should face the same scrutiny for withholding FEMA funds for political reasons.
-
Meanwhile white male Guliani gets pardoned and put 2 other black womens lives at risk of death threats and is dodging paying them what he owes from his corruption bank accts.
-
Feels like they are playing "let's railroad a black woman for the same flavor of crime white guys just did with impunity".
-
Were these charges brought by, y'know, the real DOJ or by the Bondi DOJ?
-
Do the crime...face the time.. Hell I couldn't get away with it why should she??
-
When does jail time start for the convicted felon who is occupying the White House?
-
She looks so very beautiful and at the same time so very stupid, clueless and out of touch with reality. Normally, one would only associate those qualities with a republican and/or MAGA. But here we are.
-
5 million? That's not even enough to bribe trump for a pardon!
-
If she was Republican Trump would likely pardon her
-
If true and convicted the. She deserves it. As does ANY politician that breaks the law…
-
so that would mean Trump's and his family's punishment would be what?
-
If she did it, throw the book at her, but look at our Justice Dept right now. Full of losers and criminals. I will reserve judgement.
-
Oh, let me guess you gotta make an example out of another black person! Meanwhile, white man commit white collar crimes at an astronomical rate every fucking year, and you don’t do a goddamn thing about it, but that checks out it’s colonialism imperialism for the white man
-
So let me guess you’re going after her because she is an African-American black female! When will you go after Tim Scott he committed Medicaid or Medicare fraud forgot which one now but he was a senator of fucking Florida!
-
Auditioning to be a Trump cabinet member?
-
So Marjorie Taylor Greene borrows COVID money, never repays a dime, gives the money to her political campaign and we don't even blink (even when she is demanding college students repay their debts). If this congresswoman has broken the law she needs to go to prison but so do these other people.
-
Then lock her up! It a fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans is that we aren't protecting criminals. That's entirely a republican thing anymore. If this woman is guilty then lock her up. If Biden is guilty lock him up. If Hillary is guilty then lock her up. Otherwise STFU
-
Cute. Now do Donald Trump.
-
Sad & foolish .. 😡
-
Dope
-
“Cherfilus-McCormick faces up to 53 years in prison if convicted.” I’m all for her paying for her crimes but people who murder get fewer years than this!
-
While we are talking about it. Why aren't you reporting Trumps thefts, corruption and treason???
-
I did read the article. My initial reaction was, I don’t trust anything out of this administration. However, she has been under investigation since 2023. Let’s see what evidence they have.
-
Wow, FEMA... I guess Crusty Gnoem will be next. She just bought 2 Luxury private jets to match her outfits.
-
What about ICE Barbie’s $220M scheme? O’ snap She’s a Nazi, err, I mean Republican 🖕
-
If she did the crime she needs to do the time.
-
Here’s the difference between maga and normal people: normal people don’t care about party, they care about the crime.
-
Are they trying to take the focus off of the 5 or 10 million Desantass stole from the charity?
-
unlike maga.. GOOD.. if you do the crime do the time..NO ONE ABOVE THE LAW.. you listening FORBES...
-
Good. Criminals need to be prosecuted regardless of party affiliation.
-
seems like selective enforcement, almost every congressman has bilked the government for money. they should all be investigated
-
If she's guilty, she should go to jail.
-
“Using relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” Attorney General PAM BONDI SAID in a statement. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will follow the facts in this case and deliver justice.” -CNN
LOL
-
is she is guilty then yes, she should.
-
Its up to courts to deem if she is guilty. If she is she should do time. Political affiliation shouldn't matter. See how easy that was
-
Sounds like GOP U.S Senate material.
-
She should find out who Senator Rick Scott used as his legal team when he avoided going to prison for his role in the multi-BILLION dollar Medicare fraud.
-
Lifelong Democrat here to say that if she is found guilty of this crime, she should go to jail. Because the Democrat party has it's faults, but it's not a cult.
-
Arrest the President
-
She should start defending trump and switch parties ASAP she's from Florida so it will seem natural. If she's corrupt she'll feel right at home in the GOP and she can get a pardon like Santos did.
-
SHE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT - just switch to GOP!🤷🏽♂️
-
Same applies to the president. When he is impeached and convicted. Every golf course around 5he world, buildings within name on it, children and grandchildren accounts frozen until every dime of his ill gotten gains are paid back to the American people.
-
Im a Democrat. If she saw a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow and that gold was at the expense of the American people. Then her @$$ need to go to jail and all funds seized from every property, every person she loaned money, children she attempted to squirrel money away. Get it all!
-
-
-
Innocent until proven guilty.
-
Anything coming out of the DOJ is suspect.
-
Rick Scott could not stop laughing enough to comment.
-
Lock her ass up.
-
If true, all they are doing is hurting the party over and over again.
-
What about Noems FEMA fund steal.
-
If only she was a Republican, she would be off the hook.
-
53 years? In that case, Rick Scott should be in prison for 2000 years.
-
Resign
-
thats wild, wonder how many the Drumpf would get
-
Certainly, this is a serious charge. Sadly, it comes at a time when the DOJ has been gutted and turned into an instrument of political revenge. We have to assume that this is just another naked power grab by the fourth Reich and first felon. Plus due process says she is innocent until proven guilty.
-
Rick Seditious Skeletor Scott stole millions upon millions and nothing happened to him . In fact he got rewarded .. I guess his sex and color and political party matters more in FLORIDUH. But ,if found guilty she deserves it . But if it's just a racist political move ,fck off magats .
-
Trump's corrupt DOJ targeting a wo.an of color The problem is you can't believe anything that they say
-
If she were a republican trump would pardon her
-
Don’t forget this twat waffle.
-
5 million, with an M? Trump pisses that away on a Thursday playing golf. Each square foot of his ballroom, and each letter in the Department of War, cost 5 million. I'm just saying, prosecute her if true, prosecute him too because he's well beyond the point of proof for fraud, sabotage, and pedo.
-
Why would anyone believe anything this justice department says? Shame on the media. Bunch of bootlicking idiots.
-
Yes, if guilty, put her in jail. See how that works Republicans?
-
Great! Lock her up!! Now do the rest of the corrupt politicians
-
Investigate her and follow the law. See how easy that is?
-
If she’s guilty convict her.
With this DOJ the odds are in her favor.
-
This being true??? Hopefully it is not. Then tRump should spend at least 500 years in jail.
-
We have worse crimes than this being done by the President when is he going to be held accountable? Seriously
-
#NaziPoliticalProsecution
-
If she did it, she deserves it!
-
She just needs to switch parties and the charges will be dropped.
-
So it's ok that desantis and his wife rob the people but not her? Hold them all accountable.
-
Bye, Felicia!
-
Now do Ron DeSantis and his wife
-
Now do kristi Naomi for stealing 220 million m. That’s gotta be 200 years
-
Wasn’t this case thrown out ? 🤣🤣🤣
-
Democrats or Republicans who are guilty of something should pay the price. Period !
-
Tsk tsk tsk.
-
Man, if she was a republican, she'd be in the cabinet.
-
I'm sorry, but the Department of Justice have shown the world and proven themselves in court to be less than reputable. I have a difficult time believing anything that comes out of the Department of Revenge.
-
Rick Scott did it with Medicare $$$$$$ and walked after a fine.
-
I want corruption to have a large price. Prison time. Why’d Rick Scott get off for stealing hundreds of thousands in Medicare? Trump just pardoned another guy who stole $200 million in Medicare for a $2 million donation.
-
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely! $5 mil for this clown- Billions for the big clown in half of a white house! Crypto, gold bars, jumbo jet & pay to play grifting. I hope they both get due process, and their day in court.
-
She didn’t make the right donations. Otherwise she’d be ima Senator by now. Or even Attorney General
-
Sounds like a set up.
-
So uh meanwhile in the Oval Office…yeah.
-
I have no issue with those who committed fraud being held accountable. However, let’s revisit how DOJ handled similar charges against former Rep State Rep Carolina Amesty…
-
Is it a coincidence that she's from west palm beach? That looks to me like revenge from the orange POS #orangehitler #agentorange #orangeturd
-
Tax the rich!
-
Yeah but it’s Forbes. I find more and more of their articles to be asinine.
-
Yeah, come back to me when all the republicans have been made to answer for their crimes.
-
Ok but what about Kristy Noem giving a multi million dollar gov contract to her deputy’s husbands company without a single other bid? JAIL HER. She’s stealing more than this woman….
-
Lock her up.
-
How the DOJ with a straight face can even present this while the Trump crime family profits off of deals every day is simply mind numbing.
-
And we should believe this isn't just a plot by the R's to hurt the D's because...?
-
It's Democrat.
-
See? if she had been a loyal Republican, they would have given her a medal and a promotion...
-
The corruption in the government and how this administration are secretly making money off of us is disgusting. Both parties need to clean out the corruption, the oligarch corporations that has a hold of these parties, and any people that support the zionist movements need to be out.
-
Calling them out! Congressman Pete sessions just admitted he supports a felon
www.instagram.com/reel/DRSf_GF...
Alexandria🤍 on Instagram: "We went into this office the same way we went into every other office today, calm and simply expressing our freedom of speech. Before we were even able to finish a sentence ...
A confrontation between Congressman Pete Sessions and his constituents has gone viral, highlighting the tension between public officials and their constituents. The incident occurred when the congress...
-
In Florida? Don’t they make you a Senator for committing large frauds? It hasn’t hurt Senator Rick Scott at all.
-
Again, no one should be above the law, but if this Black woman goes to prison, so should the entire Trump administration, quite frankly. Most of Congress are war criminals, too, let's not forget. Still funding genocide.
-
My problem is that I can't trust DOJ.
-
Why don’t any of your articles about the ACTUAL CONVICTED REPUBLICANS start “Convicted republicans president…..”
The bias is so annoying. Just tell the truth! Yeah, it’s going to make them look bad, but they can fix this problem anytime by just stopping doing illegal awful stuff!
-
Arrest chump piggy! Rooting around on our treasury like a pig on a sty.
-
I’m sure Herrfelonpedogropenfuhrer will issue a preemptive pardon. What? She’s a woman of color and a Democrat? Never mind. If she’s adjudicated guilty and it’s a legit investigation, lock her up. I just don’t trust that can happen in these times.
-
Trump DOJ Logic-
Epstein has property in McCormick's district. We can't open the files now
-
Yeah this is great but like, why is it only dems that get railroaded for their crimes? Oh, right. American #Conservatives are a mafia/cult.
-
I don't trust a damn thing from this Trump DOJ but one notices the selective enforcement even if she deserves to be up on charges.
-
Would a republican have been charged with the same crime?
-
if she really did steal that money intended to aide others - that is the height of depravity -
-
I'm only using the color card because this very same moment trump is grifting by the billions and he's sleeping in the White House.
-
They’re digging into dem congresspeople taxes, mortgages, business with an intent to find something- anything. I don’t know if the congresswoman is guilty but Id be willing to donate to her defense fund. I don’t trust this Faith one bit!
-
And Rick Scott stoled 200 million from Medicaid and he still has a job as a senator this is crazy he didn’t even get arrested
-
Doesn’t Knome have to approve any funds over $100k?
-
Not being charged with mortgage fraud, refreshingly different, but still smells fishy as FBI and DOJ only let staff go after immigrants and Democrats now.
-
I’m certain that you and I believe that the DOJ indicted a Democrat solely for legitimate crimes…
#Trump apocalypse
-
How much time did Trump face for stealing from his charity?
Bannon?
53 years?
-
if she were republican she would have slithered out of it all
-
Its in Florida where Rick Scott stole millions in his Medicaid fraud, no consequences for him
-
I hope this isn’t true. ☹️
-
If she did the crimes, she must do the time. We used to be proud of our Constitution and our Rule of Law…..
-
Florida Congresswoman.
-
So she will be pardoned because she is politician who got caught, right?
-
Leave it to Forbes to put her political party in the headline rather than her name and state. Hacks.
-
All she needs to do is buy some trump coin.. it comes with a presidential pardon these days..
-
When I saw “DoJ” I stopped reading.
Yeah I’ll reserve judgement til I see some court records cause there folks are the worst lawyers ever.
-
If guilty, lock her up. See how easy that is.
-
Hard to believe this person might go to Prison before disgraced trumps who’s done the exact same thing!
-
Wonder if this is like Leticia James mortgage
-
According to Trump’s DOJ!?
-
Off topic; "🍊obsession with "GOLD" Has anyone actually SEEN the GOLD that is supposedly still in FORT KNOX, since 🍊 has been back in office?? Yah!! Didn't think so !!
-
FAFO
-
Greed and corruption know no party.
-
As Bret Farve lives life free as a bird. They ALWAYS make the example out of a woman.
-
I'm guessing pleading the 5th a gazillion times won't work for her as it did for Rick Scott.
-
Question: Did this one actually make it through a Grand Jury, or is it another one of "those" prosecutions?
-
Yep. Florida.🤮🐸 losers
-
Wild how a Democrat can face 53 years in prison, but half of Washington does the same stuff in daylight and walks free. Justice in America isn’t blind it just picks its targets.
-
But Homan goes free. Not even an investigation.
-
If she's guilty, then she needs to face the music.
-
they are probably framing democrats at this point. desperate to prevent losing control over the government in the midterms
-
Is this as solid as the Comey case?
-
This makes me really mad! WTF...
Go to court and jail if guilty! 😠
-
But a 53 page draft indictment didn’t have enough evidence yet this DEMOCRAT WOMAN with BROWN SKIN they found enough to convict?! If she actually did it, yeah, pay the price. If this is a Death Santis hit piece, FIGHT IT.
-
Fuck you, Forbes
-
It's alright girl just switch over to Republican party and grift all you want, you'll get a pardon! Ask all the Texas and Florida Republicans!
-
Well y does she not get the same perks as our President and his friends Forbes? Please 34 count convicted felon is President please. Equal justice okay equal. 🥴🙄
