Jemele Hill: This is some plot twist (Kwame Kilpatrick related). [View all]

Detroit’s former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is apart of the largest Republican conference outside of the RNC this summer. He is big on “preserving the family structure.” https://familypolicyalliance.com/soconcon2023/









He spoke about his fiancee Tuesday while discussing his life at The Citadel of Praise Church.

"Latisia, I met her when she was 12 years old," he said. "This is the thing you all should know. When I came and taught, I'm coming out of college, I get the first job I ever had and they gave me a class. And there is a little girl with a bunch of east side kids at Marcus Garvey Academy on the east side of Detroit."

He was a teacher back then. She would later work in his administration but he said they barely had any contact. Then in 2018, while locked up in prison, she came to see him.
