Hawaii Senate Dem Majority Leader Gets 3 Years in Prison for Bribery

Another day, another corrupt Democrat has been caught breaking the law

  • A prominent Hawaii Democrat was sentenced to 40 months in prison on Wednesday for taking bribes in exchange for shaping legislation while in office.
  • Former Democratic Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English pleaded guilty to honest services wire fraud earlier this year
  • Prosecutors argued that the sentence needed to send a "stern and lasting message" that corruption of elected officials will be punished.

Sing also wrote that English, who represented east Maui, Molokai, and Lanai, "was a compassionate and dedicated advocate for the rural communities and individuals he represented," including Native Hawaiians.

  • English praised former President Barack Obama, saying, "Hawaiians love Obama. He is one of us."
