Guess the party; Baltimore corruption edition.

It turns out that the Democrat mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh, is taking a leave of absence after a huge story about her accepting bribes disguised as purchases of her children's books broke.

She's saying it's because of ill health, and our prayers go out to her, but Democrats never give up power just because of their health so it's likely that the exploding scandal was part of what motivated her leaving--but not actually resigning.

What's interesting is that if you follow the coverage you'll find that the #FakeNews media is very reluctant to say what Pugh's party affiliation is.

Over at the AP they started a live updating coverage of the Mayor's leaving at 2:35PM but the fact that she's a Democrat wasn't mentioned until 5:35PM.

This is standard practice for the #FakeNews media. If a Republican is accused of anything his party affiliation will be in the headline but if it's a Democrat if their party is mentioned at all it's buried way down in the article.
