I do NOT see the issue with this man! He is politics in it's purest form.Two words: MARION BARRY. Elected mayor on a platform of gay rights and home rule, he sold any part of the City he could to whoever had the bucks to finaance his affinity for cocaine and whores. (There is a stoplight in the middle of the block on 18th Street MW between K street and L street that developer Oliver Carr paid Barry a pretty penny for. The purpose of the light was to let vehicles out of Carr's "Carr Park" garage expediently).
Barry was caught with both cocaine AND a whore and convicted on Federal charges. Even so he regained the Mayor's office and, even after being finally driven out, gained a place on the City Council where, even today and even after multiple accusations and convictions and parole violations on drug and tax charges he sits and represents the Citizens of DC.
He truely IS a 'representative of the people' of DC!
