TBD: Marion Barry turkey giveaway has no turkeys
Hordes of D.C. residents showed up this morning at Union Temple Baptist Church in Anacostia looking for their Marion Barry-sponsored turkey. One problem: no turkeys were available.
According to Barry, who represents Ward 8 on the D.C. Council, Giant Foods didn’t deliver the turkeys in time for the giveaway, which was supposed to begin early this morning. And Barry tells ABC7’s Sam Ford that there’s a reason for the non-delivery: Barry hadn’t paid Giant to deliver the turkeys.
