Dem AG: Letting America Burn Is the Path to Growth
[Free Beacon] Massachusetts attorney general Maura Healey (D.) on Tuesday refused to denounce the violent riots occurring nationwide, likening them to the purifying effects of a forest fire.

"Yes, America is burning, but that's how forests grow," Healey said in a speech delivered to the Boston Chamber of Commerce.

Healey, who is also the co-chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Association, repeated her remarks in a tweet later the same day, adding that Americans need to "seize the opportunity" to rid the country of "institutionalized racism," which she blamed for the violence.

Most of us in the North have absolutely no idea, Procopius2k. Perhaps The Third Man should be mandatory viewing, just to get a feel of what an aftermath might feel like.

#11 From 2014

It is certainly one of the grandest quarters ever for a candidate for attorney general: a $1.4 million Charlestown townhouse.

For four months, as Maura Healey and her small staff worked to launch her candidacy, she used the home where she lives as a working office for some of her political operations.

Healey does not own the property, but because she lives there, her campaign was not required to pay rent, saving some hefty bills in its early low-budget efforts to jump-start her candidacy for the Democratic nomination.


When you don't own property, I guess you'll have a different perspective on it being torched.

#12 I wonder what sort of "considerations" the actual owner gets for letting the AG use the space rent free? Hmmmm?

Frequently, something you didn't want to know.
