Yo No Espeakay Ingles
The illegal alien who spoke no English -- especially when he's being questioned under oath, when his English language ability plunges to zero -- but got elected as the Democrat mayor of Lawrence, Massachusetts because the Democrats completely changed the population of the country has been -- get this -- arrested for stealing American taxpayers' money.
This story is several months old but there's fresh news -- the city council at least voted no confidence in his leadership.
Lawrence city councilors voted no confidence in Mayor Brian DePeña Tuesday, formally casting doubt on his ability to lead as he battles more than two dozen state and federal charges.Five councilors voted in favor of the no-confidence resolution, one opposed it, and three declined to take a stance. But given the City Council has no legal authority to remove DePeña from office, the vote amounted to more of a political statement than an action item.
DePeña, 61, has rebuffed calls for his resignation and pledged to continue serving, even despite growing support for a recall election to potentially remove him from office.
The two-term Democrat was initially arrested in August on federal charges stemming from alleged pandemic loan fraud, with prosecutors saying he misused more than $1.5 million meant for a local business he owned. The political firestorm continued last month as Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell's office announced DePeña had been indicted on wiretapping charges for allegedly sharing an illegally recorded conversation between two city staffers.
