Minor item from Philadelphia


Movita Johnson-Harrell was the first Muslim woman elected to Pennsylvania's legislature, representing part of Philadelphia.

She's now pleaded guilty to perjury, record tampering, and embezzling over $500,000 in Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security disability funds, as well as donations to a charity she established to  allegedly serve the mentally ill and drug addicted poor in her district.

The state's Attorney General 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, and tuition for her granddaughter’s private school.

Full story here.  And it'll stun you.
