Following a Fox 5 segment to discuss this week’s charges against Harry Thomas Jr. and other investigations in the D.C. area, the chairman of the D.C. Council got into a “screaming” match with WTOP’s analyst Mark Plotkin. The chairman, Kwame Brown, said he would lead the “healing process” for the District, but he failed to include the investigations he himself faces for allegedly falsifying thousands of dollars in campaign funds.
After Plotkin pointed out the investigation, Brown took offense and misinterpreted the statement. The miscommunication led to the confrontation after the segment at Fox Studio. Plotkin says, “It was very intense. By coming so close to my face, he was trying in some way to provoke me, at least rhetorically.” Brown says, “I think at the end of the day we’re just going to continue to move forward. We look forward to working on issues together that relate to the city.”
