While local and national media swarmed Henrietta Hughes for interviews, Chene Thompson, wife of State Rep. Nick Thompson, grabbed Hughes’ hand and offered them a house.
The house is in LaBelle, the first home Chene Thompson bought after law school.
“Just give me the opportunity to help you,” Chene Thompson told her.
Politician doing a good deed. No mention of party.
Why, he’s a Republican!!!
Ain’t that a surprise.
So, these must be the editors rules.
Democrat, impending conviction – don’t mention party, we have to presume innocence.
Republican, hint of scandal – make sure party is in headline.
Republican, does good deed – don’t mention party.
Democrat, does good deed – make sure it’s on the front page.
