Black female politicians behaving badly: Part XXV…
May 8, 2026
Every time we turn around, it seems as if black women in power are doing something to make the news, and it’s not always good.
And right on cue, Kamala Harris, who has a gift for saying the worst possible thing at the worst possible time, has piped up and opened another can of worms.
Her latest gem came during a Black women’s political summit in Chicago, where she told the crowd that Black women in politics should be more “transactional” and start saying, “I’m gonna get mine also.” That line might have landed better in an alternate political universe, but in this one, it landed smack dab in the middle of a growing pile of ugly headlines involving black Dem women in power, campaign cash, ethics problems, federal raids, indictments, and corruption allegations.
Let the pouncing begin…
Because when voters hear a politician talk about “getting mine,” they think about what they’ve been watching for years. A bunch of scumbags turning public office into a family business, fundraising machine, or personal ATM.
Kamala probably thought she was delivering some inspirational sisterhood moment. Nope. She accidentally handed critics a perfect “slogan” for everything we already hate about the Dem machine.
The X post below pulls together a long list of black Democrat women in politics who’ve faced indictments, ethics problems, investigations, raids, convictions, or serious allegations tied to money and power.
Yep, they “got some,” alright.
Some of these cases are already proven, and some are still allegations or are ongoing investigations. But the bigger point is like a red flag flapping in the wind… When Kamala says it’s time to “get mine,” we’re all sitting here nodding along, realizing this selfish, greedy mindset has been ruling the left for years.
Bad Hombre:
Kamala says Black women in politics need to start saying “I’m gonna get mine also,” but that appears to be the problem:
Cori Bush illegally funneled campaign funds to her husband to serve as her personal bodyguard.
Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was indicted for stealing $5 million in FEMA funds.
Louise Lucas was raided by the FBI for bribery and corruption.
Ayanna Pressley used her office to secure contracts for her felon husband Conan Harris’s real estate rentals and consulting firm.
Maxine Waters was charged with three ethics violations in 2008 for securing $12 million in TARP bailouts to her husband Sidney Williams’s OneUnited Bank.
Ilhan Omar’s net worth exploded by 6,500% since taking office, then said it was an accounting error, and helped her Somali friends steal over $250 million meant for hungry kids.
Jahana Hayes paid $500,000 to her daughter and other relatives from campaign funds for “part-time services.”
Jasmine Crockett spent tens of thousands from campaign funds on luxury goods and limo rides, stole money from an unaware elderly donor via 53 unauthorized ActBlue transactions, and failed to report 22 stock transactions.
Sheila Jackson Lee was found to have received campaign donations from dead voters during her 2023 mayoral run, among other improper contributions.
Corrine Brown was convicted in 2017 on 18 fraud and tax counts for a sham nonprofit scholarship scheme.

And speaking of Ms. Lucas, here’s the latest on her:
Fox News:
NOW: An FBI raid is unfolding at the office of Virginia Democratic State Sen. Louise Lucas — and it’s already drawing serious attention.
Multiple people on the scene are reportedly being taken into custody as agents move through the area.
The office sits near several cannabis dispensaries Lucas has been associated with, adding another layer to the investigation.

That’s quite an impressive list.
Clearly, there’s a pattern here with black female politicians behaving badly.
We actually covered another aspect of this recently.
