Congressional Black Caucus silent on new leader’s sex scandal
The Congressional Black Caucus, which describes itself as the "conscience of the Congress" elected its new chairman last week. Its choice? A man who had a long-running affair with a twenty-one-year-old intern. Representative Steven Horsford of Nevada previously served as the CBC's vice chair under Representative Joyce Beatty. Beatty said she was excited to "pass the baton" to a fresh batch of "capable leaders." Of course, there was no mention of Horsford's extracurricular activities in the announcement of the caucus's new leadership. The Spectator reached out to every member of the Congressional Black Caucus to ask if Horsford's affair with an intern concerned them.
