‘Her theft knew no bounds’: First Muslim woman elected to PA Legislature resigns in shame

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."

Either hand.....given under Saudi Arabian law, the hand that steals or offends is removed, and if you used both hands, you are fraked.....

[Safetgiver]

Not all Muslims in the US are that way.....Sorry. Maybe not today, maybe not while they are being watched, but Yes they are.

[CaptainPhilFan]

So.... she have her hand removed from her arm yet? That is the prescribed punishment - at LEAST - in her disgusting and savage culture.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Eventually...it will be the same for the first black president...eventually.

[vpintheak]

Exactly. She is happy she did her part in the financial jihad.

[hal ogen]

Typical LIB DIM loser & criminal. Typical. Pathetic.

[jonascord]

The left hand is cut off. Muslims use the left hand to wipe themselves with. To give a Muslim something with the left hand is considered a massive insult. They spend the rest of their lives eating with the same hand they wipe their ass with.

And their wrist watch keeps falling off...

They are all taught to do what ever it takes to destroy the infidels, and we act surprised.

[Bullish]

They got the crook they voted for.

[Bullish]

If we allow muslims to gain political power we are signing America’s death warrant.

[polymuser]

Our beloved country has nasty cancer growing on it, of several types.

[polymuser]

I can’t help but think that in an earlier America, such things would just not have gotten this far...

All pigdog murder-muzzies must be expelled from within our borders; the sooner the better.

“I still should turn him in.”

Unless you are constrained by some confidentiality requirements, then yes, I would agree.

“If we allow muslims to gain political power we are signing America’s death warrant.”

Really? But things are going so well in England.

[VeniVidiVici]

Gee, now here’s a shocker.

[dsc]

“She’ll never be Evita”

In what sense? A prostitute? Any utterly amoral lump of dog crap? A traitor to her country and an enemy of humanity? If Evita could do it, this chunk of filth probably can.

Of course, she doesn’t have a pedophile who needs her as a beard, like Peron.

[miserare]

Trump should get Josh Shapiro down to DC to help drain the swamp!

[caver]

Looks like a man.
No wonder Muzzies make their females cover their faces.

The “Muslim Caucus” has officially formed in the United States Congress and attached itself like a tumor to the far Left Communist Democratic Party, and held their first terror tied event on July 23-July 24 in Washington DC.

The Muslim Caucus already has a website and extensive social media. Their first conference will be featuring an array of anti-American, anti-Semitic, and Trump disparaging terror-tied icons like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and woman beater and Minnesota Attorney General, Keith Ellison, who resigned from his role as DNC co-chair last year.

======================================

THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO ORGANIZE AS ONE CONSTITUENCY During this historic time of a nation divided, we must defend access to the tools of democracy, which requires grassroots organizing led by Muslim Americans in Muslim communities, strategic coordination across states with year-round organizing to engage Muslim citizens to build their political power.

It requires capacity building and progress as a collective toward policy change and political education, as well as the patience to persist in the long-term work of building sustainable movements that can be linked with related fights for equality and justice within the multi-ethnic, multi-racial Muslim constituencies across America.

This is our moment to come together and organize as one constituency, bridge traditional advocacy, and policy organizations and grassroots groups to work together in building Muslim American Electoral Power at the local, state, and national level to build our power beyond 2020.

According to the Muslim Caucus website, “A Caucus represent the interest of a specific group or constituency such as Blacks, Hispanics, Labor, and Asians, etc. within the Democratic Party. Therefore, the Muslim Caucus of America represents the interest of the racially and ethnically diverse constituency of Muslim American Democrats.
