State Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, a West Philadelphia Democrat who took office after a March special election, will resign after being charged with perjury, theft, tampering with public records, and related crimes Wednesday.

Johnson-Harrell used her nonprofit to enrich herself, ---SNIP--- Johnson-Harrell, 53, was the first Muslim woman to serve in the Pennsylvania state legislature. Reducing gun violence has been her top issue as a lawmaker. Her father, brother, and 18-year-old son were all killed by gun violence.

She was elected to represent the 190th Legislative District in West Philadelphia after Vanessa Lowery Brown was convicted of bribery

...

Good grief.

What? You can't treat a charity as your own personal slush-fund?

Things have come to a pretty pass when the law is actually allowed to interfere with your lifestyle.

Why?! They keep electing these people. They deserve whatever hardship comes from doing so.

Stupid people stupidly electing corrupt democrats one after the other no matter what.

In the Rat party, that’s a Resume-Enhancer.

Resign? Those crimes are resume-enhancers for the Rats. A true Rat never resigns. They can only be voted out, even if they are legislating from the Big House.

[bkopto]

That’s a three-fer I’d say.

Unintentionally funny line in that article:

When WHYY went to talk to voters in her district about the indictment, most did not know who Johnson-Harrell was.

[Red Badger]

Movita ...................hmmmmm...................nah, I ain’t lookin................

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“Democrat” in the first line?

Exceptionally unusual.

“””She was elected to represent the 190th Legislative District in West Philadelphia after Vanessa Lowery Brown was convicted of bribery”””

Quite a trend the for the Philly voters.

To dumb and greedy to just pay Hillary 20% to teach her how a pro does it.

“Prosecutors said Johnson-Harrell used the nonprofit, Motivations Education & Consultation Associates (MECA)...”
