Scandal-Ridden Mayor Hosts Ben Carson in Sacramento
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson’s past is riddled with misuse of federal funds, fines, serious allegations of sexual misconduct with minors, and more recently failing to file timely reports in 25 cases of donations made to non-profits.
But that didn't stop presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson from appearing with Johnson at the Guild Theater this past Monday. Carson was a featured speaker at the mayor's black empowerment forum, Indivizible. Johnson launched Indivizible in 2011 to “ensure the African-American community becomes one of the most powerful political and economic forces in our country."
The former NBA point guard is a power player who counts the Obamas as close friends.

Walpin was promptly fired by President Obama for his trouble while 'KJ' went on to become the 72ndPresident of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
The sexual abuse accusations against Johnson go back to 1995 and extend up to 2006-2007, shortly before his mayoral campaign in 2008. Walpin's report included allegations of sexual assault from students at Johnson's St. HOPE charter school. In 2007 Michelle Rhee, DC's former school superintendent and stealth Common Core instigator, ran interference for her then fiancée, asking Walpin to go easy on him.
