Donning a smart black jacket, she shared an emotional hug with a protester wielding a bottle.
Shortly after, she angrily told a Fox News host that demonstrators were not looking for trouble.
Now, Maryland State Senator Catherine E. Pugh is under fire for 'empathizing' with the hundreds of people who were taking to the streets of Baltimore armed with rocks and bottles on Tuesday night.
The 65-year-old was accused of being 'foolish' and 'an embarrassment' by social media users for defending protesters in the city, which has been the scene of riots following Freddie Gray's death.

ReplyDeleteI haven't read this story because I know exactly who you are talking about. State Senate Majority Leader Catherine Pugh and Congressman Elijah Cummings are and embarrassment to the human race. They are an embarrassment to good black people. They are an embarrassment to Baltimore City. They are an embarrassment to the State of Maryland. They are rude and made uneducated comments.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why this country needs to stop electing Democrats. They are THUGS, yes THUGS. She and Elijah Cummings are racist cop haters and they should both resign from office. All of the Mayor and Council members that I saw speak on Fox News should resign from the city. They are the reason Baltimore burned that night. State Senate President Mike Miller should take her position away from her because of conduct unbecoming of a Maryland State Senator. No apologies should be accepted, they need to resign.
Dems are thiefs and looters.
ReplyDeleteBlack people take back your community from the rat democrats.
ReplyDelete"...wielding a bottle".
ReplyDeleteThe dude has an A&W root beer in his hand.
Not looking for trouble? Then what were they looking for?
ReplyDeleteShe also blamed the media and said if the media wasn't there none of the violence would have occurred. Really ?????????
ReplyDeleteThe politicians are only there bc of the camera's.
DeleteFOX NEWS IS BALTIMORE BIGGEST PROBLEM. THEY ARE LOT OF B.S. JUST LIKE MIKE LEWIS.
ReplyDeleteHow do we know this guy was a "rioter?" Looks like a plastic soda bottle in his hand.
ReplyDelete1:43 is an Idiot. Oh, It was the Media that did it, Right? Forget those thugs who burned 144 cars, CVS pharmacy and many others. That wasn't their fault, it was the FOX News & Mike Lewis, right? You must be Uninformed Idiot or Liberal Wacko or both.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore's been on a downward spiral for forever. The 68's riots only hastened the decline.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that is going to change Baltimore is a complete change in the mindset of those who live there. They are completely dependent on the government and others for several generations now. Only they can stop the crime and the poverty.
Protesting and rioting gets nothing as witnesses by the 68 riots. Parts of the city never rebuilt and the crime and the poverty sky rocketed.
They have these prayer marches and vigils to stop the violence as if divine intervention is going to stop the violence.
The only reason there aren't 1000+ murders there a year is due to the advanced life saving results of the hospitals.
