CAIR Pennsylvania Dem Legislator and Poster Girl Resigns in Shame
2019-12-22
[American Thinker] 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.
Goodness gracious — the woman is certainly thorough!
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 it to purchase fox furs, trips to Mexico, to make payments on a Porsche, pay delinquent utility bills, cover her granddaughter’s private school tuition and even 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).

#9  Enlightenment? "Bright people's quarrels
And marble deplorables' laurels."
The sleepwalker's ethic?
Unanimous, ethnic,
A dawn just as dark as his morals.

Tough times for the truly talented tenth. Or not. ;-)

#2  Perhaps she thought it was part of her job description.
She was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 190th district on March 12, 2019 during a special election held after Vanessa Lowery Brown resigned due to her conviction on corruption and bribery charges

#1  Resign, yes. "Resign in shame" most unlikely.
