Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is learning that the hard way. She has just been sentenced for involvement in a fraud case. Here’s the deal, via Fox News:
Catherine Pugh, a former mayor of Baltimore, was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday following her conviction on federal tax evasion and conspiracy charges related to the sale of her “Healthy Holly” books to help fund a political career, the Baltimore Sun reported.
Addressing the courtroom, Maryland’s U.S. District Court Judge Deborah K. Chasanow slammed material–including a 13-minute video released Wednesday–that touts Pugh’s past accomplishments and was submitted to the court before sentencing.

Chasanow described praising Pugh’s past good work as “ironic,” as “it was precisely that reputation for good work that allowed her to commit these offenses and continue the fraud for as long as she did,” the Baltimore Sun reported.
Check out what happened when people were asked to name which politician made “racist” comments about Baltimore. Most think the words came from 45’s lips.
From The Daily Wire:
WATCH:
Trump could literally quote Barack Obama, word for word, and the mainstream media would find a way to twist it.
Trump ripped Baltimore for being “rodent infested” and so poorly managed and Democrats went wild, claiming 45 was a racist. Naturally.

….As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place

From Daily Caller:
Democratic Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings responded early Saturday to President Donald Trump’s tweets calling his district a “disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess.”
Cummings’ response:
Mr. President, we can address this together. Two years ago, I went to the White House to ask you to endorse my bill to let the government negotiate directly for lower drug prices.

Here’s what Bernie said in 2016:
Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace.
