Site Runs 'Hit Piece' on CA Assemblyman Who Sent $6 Million to His Own Nonprofit

Last month, The California Globe reported that the California budget earmark for California Assemblyman Dr. Corey Jackson's nonprofit Center Against Racism and Trauma (CART) was raised from $250,000 to $6 million, “placed under immigration services/vulnerable populations.” Earlier this year, Jackson named CART his legislative district’s “Nonprofit of the Year.” CART has only been tax-exempt since February 2022.

Now, an organization called California Black Media is calling the report a hit piece and blaming racism.

California Globe Editor-in-Chief Katy Grimes reports:

Rather than acknowledge the obvious nefarious funding with taxpayer money, Mr. Hardy Brown of California Black Media defended the Assemblyman’s actions, and accused the Globe of writing a “hit piece,” and not-so-subtly implied that the underlying motive of the Globe is because Assemblyman Corey Jackson is black… not because Jackson was caught red-handed self-dealing and abusing the privilege and authority of his elected office with taxpayer dollars allocated to his own nonprofit.
“In the Black community we do not have the luxury of ignoring any of our leaders whether we agree with them or not,” Mr. Brown says.

"Hit piece" = "Journalism"
