At least this Democrat isn’t accused of sexual harassment or anything. Instead, this Democrat Massachusetts state senator accused of taking bribes. The Hill, the left wing site wbich has become as bad as Politico has failed to mentioned the party that Brian Joyce is affiliated with (Democrats). Just more proof of liberal media bias. If Joyce had been a Republican, that would have been used in every other sentence of this report.

A former Massachusetts state senator was charged Friday with using his position to collect $1 million in bribes, as well as hundreds of pounds of free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee.
Federal authorities charged Brian Joyce with honest services mail fraud in the scheme, in which he allegedly accepted bribes through his position as a state senator. He then laundered the money through his law firm, The Boston Globe reported.
Prosecutors allege that, in addition to payments, Joyce also received hundreds of pounds of free coffee from a local Dunkin’ Donuts franchise, including one instance in 2015 that included more than 500 pounds of coffee.
Prosecutors also claim that Joyce received free dry cleaning from a local dry cleaner and that he bought thousands of shares in a company that he actively lobbied for in the state senate.
