Moms for Liberty. The right wing group that is trying to take over school boards across the country suffered another major blow this week. When one of these school board members in Collier, uh, county, Collierville County, excuse me, Tennessee, that they had backed in her election well, she was forced to resign after she was arrested late last week for shoplifting seven different times from a target store in her area. The woman, uh, 43-year-old Carrie Blair, who serves, uh, on the school board of Collierville County in Tennessee. Uh, according to Collierville Police, they accused her of shoplifting at Target seven times over a 26 day period on November 25th, November 30th, December 3rd, December 6th, 13th, 18th, and 20th. According to the police, Blair stole $728 and 61 cents worth of merchandise by quote, skip scanning items at the self checkout. She would arrive each time in the same car and used a debit card in her name arrest.
Records show, uh. The amounts range from $63 and 38 cents to $140 and 49 cents. Uh, she was released on a $7,500 bond, just to put that in perspective, like $7,500 bond for stealing, you know, over $700 worth of goods from a target. Lauren Bert's husband, when he was arrested earlier this week on six charges, um, his bond was 2,500. So apparently weapons charges are much less than shoplifting from a target. And of course, she did the thing that people joke about all the time, like ringing up things or skipping things at the self checkout, which, hey, I don't know, maybe hire actual human beings, pay them a living wage and then we don't have to deal with self checkouts anymore. Just my opinion. But this is a blow to Moms for liberty. This individual, Carrie Blair, was in fact backed by Moms for Liberty.
Uh, whether or not she considers herself a member, uh, I don't know. This report doesn't say, but either way, moms for liberty backs another loser. Now, moms for Liberty has suffered a lot of crushing blows recently, this one being the most recent. But let's also not forget Bridget Ziglar, the co-founder of Moms for Liberty down here in Florida, who had to admit to police as her husband's under a rape investigation, uh, that she was in fact having a three-way relationship with her husband and another woman, even though she thinks that schoolchildren can't learn about homosexuality at all, that it even exists. But she herself is, you know, dabbling in whatever she personally wants to, which she's allowed to. But being a massive hypocrite, of course, is gonna come back to bite you every time. Then of course, you had the issue, I think it was up in Pennsylvania, where one of the moms for Liberty happened to be a guy, uh, one of the people they had there.
Uh, turns out he was a registered sex offender for, you know, abusing children at one point. So moms for liberties, having a really bad couple of months here, folks, because apparently this is what the group attracts hypocrites and possibly criminals at this point. So keep an eye on 'em. Anytime you see a candidate being endorsed by Moms for Liberty or a Moms for Liberty candidate, make sure you do your thorough background checks. 'cause a lot of these people definitely not what they're making out to be in public.
