Of course Freddie Gray’s death—or the prosecution of 6 Baltimore police officers—isn’t political, if you ask State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby. Except that her politician husband, Councilman Nick Mosby, is running for mayor of the place they call “Charm City,” which would make them quite the power couple.
How charming.

Mosby—the husband—announced his campaign Sunday with the slogan “are you ready to fight for a better Baltimore?”
Take our poll: Do you believe that Donald Trump will be a ‘great unifier for this country?’

Some Twitter users thought that slogan was a bit ironic given the city’s recent history.
@MLSuber Pretty sure the fighting IS the problem. End that & Baltimore instantly becomes better. — Kristine ❀♡❀♡ (@KristineAz) October 26, 2015
@MLSuber why not. Can’t be worse than his wife. She is a total and utter disaster

As for having two Mosby’s in high office, in the same city, could that possibly be a slight conflict of interest? Just possibly.
The Baltimore Sun reported Sunday that Councilman Mosby is likely to face questions about his wife’s position. “There are some who like the symbolism of a Baltimore power couple,” local talk radio host Farajii Muhammad said. “But other people are going to be very concerned. People will always have to wonder about the decisions they’re making.”
@wbaltv11 Hmmm, no conflict of interest here…move along people…nothing to see here….. — Tracy Moon (@bamamoon65) October 26, 2015
@EmilyMiller @yvonnewenger @councilmanmosby Nepotism at its best.

After nearly 50 years of Democrat rule in Baltimore, what could go wrong?
@EmilyMiller @yvonnewenger @councilmanmosby just what that city needs, another Mosby with even more power.

@EmilyMiller Citizens of Baltimore, evacuate now! All hope is lost — John Derbyshire (@jumpinjonnydee) October 24, 2015
@wbaltv11 The Democrats have run Baltimore since 1969; Haven’t they been fighting for the City until now?
