Movita Johnson-Harrell seemed to take pride in her position as the first Muslim woman elected to the Pennsylvania State Legislature. Now that record will forever have an asterisk next to it, as Johnson-Harrell has turned herself in to Pennsylvania attorney general Josh Shapiro's office, pleading guilty on charges of perjury, record-tampering, and embezzling over $500,000 in Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security disability funds, as well as donations to Motivations Education and Consultation Associates (MECA), a charity she established to allegedly serve the mentally ill and drug addicted poor in her predominately African-American neighborhood.
In a press conference, Attorney General Shapiro described Johnson-Harrell's actions as "brazen corruption ... her theft knew no bounds." Johnson-Harrell stole funds that personally belonged to the residents of her facilities and used the money to purchase fox furs and trips to Mexico, to make payments on a Porsche, to pay delinquent utility bills, to cover her granddaughter's private school tuition, and even to fund her political campaign. After the facility, where residents were living in squalor, was closed, Johnson-Harrell continued collecting their rent from MECA even though the facilities were no longer operating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Johnson-Harrell's dereliction of duty extended to her short time as a Pennsylvania state representative.
During her brief period in office, Johnson-Harrell seemed to spend the majority of her time celebrating herself as the first Muslim woman elected to the state Legislature, and helping to fundraise and advocate for the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Two months after being in office, Johnson-Harrell flew across the country to Washington State to stand with anti-Israel BDS-supporter Congresswoman Ilhan Omar at a CAIR fundraiser with a separatist theme "Muslim Power for 2020 & Beyond."

In my experience, adopting Islam for many a local, double-barreled last-name black woman is merely a sign and shield for her own personal anger, sense of victimhood, virtue-signaling, and self-righteousness.
Thievery is an easy next stop when you have such a mindset.
No party affiliation mentioned. Can mean only one thing. Just like Democrat media to cover it up.
They only convert to Islam because getting a weave is expensive!
Hyphenated female named “Movita” ==> guaranteed disaster.
Hi.
The people in her district have poor cognitive skills.
5.56mm
What it with black voters living on the Democrat plantation voting for bunco artists?
They deserve their criminal representation. And it wasn’t whitey Movita fleeced.
Wow! I can’t believe Shapiro is a Dem and is draining the swamp there like a hero. So much corruption, once someone turned the lights on. SMH
“I was tipped off by her first name Movita”
I think she has a a sister named Mulva.
She laughed all the way to the bank and lived high off the hog in public office.
This is the pond scum Democrats recruit as dedicated public servants.
Trump is squeaky clean next to a grifter like her.
She’ll never be Evita and she’ll be back. Just ask Alcee Hastings and Marion Barry.
Remember - all cultures are equivalently good. (according to then mentally ill leftards propaganda)
In so many tyrannical muslim countries, the majority of people have to commit crimes daily just to survive...
I suppose the same is true for Commie run countries.
I’m surprised she didn’t cry racism and Islamophobia.
Omar in Minnesota stole more then $1 million in campaign funds and put them in a LLC where they will disappear.
She learned quickly to steal.
In her culture what she accomplished is expected and praised. The purpose of a government position is to enrich to the greatest extent possible one’s family and clan. As these folks enter our government that is the attitude they bring to officeholding. Some will be more skillful than others at hiding it, as are most mainline Democrats and Republicans.
Motivations Education and Consultation Associates (MECA)....Geez, Not too brazen, huh?
Ridiculous. Low rent trash voting for their own kind. We need a reformation, a renaissance, a something in this country. One of the best decades in history and the product is that kind of elected official. The idiotocracy at work.
I’m surprised she pled guilty. These perps usually “maintain their innocence” and a jury of their peers buys it.
