Carol Moseley Braun’s Chicago Mayoral bid is collapsing.
First she said she wouldn’t release her tax return because she “didn’t feel like it.”
Under intense pressure, she flip flopped, and decided to release just a little bit of her tax returns.
Questions erupted, so she released just a little more of her returns.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Now her campaign is on the verge of imploding under mounting questions about repeatedly late property tax payments and massive business losses.
Chicago Breaking News is reporting this revealing moment:
Braun said she has been transparent about her finances. When reporter questions persisted, a campaign aide put his hand over the reporter’s voice recorder as Braun walked away.
Panicked and bumbling.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that Rahm Emanuel’s opposition has been clverly selected to make him look like the responsible choice.
Take your pick Chicago – Smart Democratic Socialist Rahm Emanuel, or panicked, bumbling Democratic Socialist Carol Moseley Braun
