Pa. Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, charged with stealing more than $500,000 from her own charity, will resign

[INQUIRER] State Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, a West Philadelphia Democrat, said Wednesday that she would resign after prosecutors charged her with stealing more than $500,000 from her own nonprofit and spending it on family vacations, designer clothing, furs, personal bills — and her bid for the legislature.

State Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Johnson-Harrell engaged in “brazen corruption” and systematically tried to cover up her crimes by falsifying records and financial statements.

#1 Good riddance. She (Democratic Pennsylvania State Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, the first female Muslim representative in the state’s legislature) forgot the first rule of government graft: launder the money through a relative's "business" or "charity".

#6 I'm surprised they disclosed her party affiliation

But it took a reporter from The Blaze to reveal that she is the first Muslim elected to the Pennsylvania legislature. I wouldn’t even have wondered, except for the curiously hijab-like head wrap in the photo.
