Is there are Connection between Subpoenas, Hendon, and Pat Quinn?
Chicago Democrat State Sen. Rickey “Hollywood” Hendon was most recently in the news in the company of Dem Governor Quinn making particularly inflammatory remarks aimed at Quinn’s GOP challenger Bill Brady. Dem Governor Pat Quinn stood by while Illinois state Sen. Rickey Hollywood Hendon made the most sickening slurs against Republican candidate for governor Bill Brady, then shook Hendon’s hand. Knowingly despicable. Theseremarks:
Several local politicians attended the rally, led by U.S. Rep.Danny Davis, at the New Tabernacle of Faith Baptist Church, which was filled with union workers when Hendon launched into his attack on Republican governor nominee Bill Brady, a state senator from Bloomington.
“Let me tell you a couple things. I’ve served with Bill Brady. I’ve never served with such an idiotic, racist, sexist, homophobic person in my life,” Hendon told the crowd. “If you think that the minimum wage needs to be $3 an hour, vote for Bill Brady. If you think that women have no rights whatsoever except to have his children, vote for Bill Brady. If you think gay and lesbian people need to be locked up and shot in the head, vote for Bill Brady.”
The crowd clapped loudly as Hendon wound up his sermon-style introduction, some shouting “No sir!” as Hendon ticked off his criticism of Brady.
Is there a connection?
Some of the Chicago media tried to sanitize Hendon’s remarks. How much more does the Chicago/Illinois media know about these subpoenas, given they were issued back in August. Hmm?
The subpoenas went to DCEO and the Departments of Children and Family Services, Human Services, Public Health, and the State Board of Education.
I understand from an anonymous credible source that Quinn may receive a subpoena too, if he hasn’t already. Isn’t this something the voters should know before the election?
Some may say they don’t want to politicize the legal process, but this seems way too convenient for the Dems, considering we had the same kind of thing going on with Blago when he was reelected–he was under NINE separate federal investigations.Now he has been impeached. And convicted in the courts on one count. So far.
Everyone in Illinois ought to be outraged about the “Member Initiatives” spending that has been permitted under the Democratic leadership. In essence, elected officials are given blank checks to distribute to “worthy” causes and groups within their districts, but the reality is that is an incumbent protection program that permits the politicians to buy votes at wholesale prices.
