No, Movita Johnson-Harrell is not a jihadi. And corrupt officials of all creeds can be found more easily than anything else in this world. The reason why this story is worthy of posting at Jihad Watch is because it is another indication of the dangers of identity politics. Movita Johnson-Harrell became a state representative because she is a Muslim. She was a symbol of the Democratic Party’s commitment to “diversity.” No one knew or cared whether she would be an honest or competent state representative. In that, her story is similar to that of Mohamed Noor, who was only on the Minneapolis police force because he was a Muslim, despite numerous indications of his incompetence. A woman is dead in that case. In this one, Medicaid and Social Security disability funds were diverted into Movita Johnson-Harrell’s coffers. Why don’t we go back to supporting candidates based on their merits, not on their religion, ethnicity, race, or gender? Oh, that would be “racist”?
“Pennsylvania lawmaker charged with stealing over $500K from nonprofit she founded,” by Mark Scolforo, Associated Press, December 5, 2019:
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Prosecutors charged a state representative from Philadelphia on Wednesday with enriching herself by stealing money from a nonprofit organization she founded to serve the mentally ill and poor who were fighting addiction.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s office accused Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell of perjury, tampering with public records, theft and other charges. Shapiro said a plea deal was expected to be worked out.
Court papers said the theft went on for years as Johnson-Harrell converted the charity’s funds into investment properties, vacations and luxury clothing. Shapiro said Johnson-Harrell personally spent more than $500,000 from Motivations Education & Consultation Associates, diverting Medicaid and Social Security disability funds.
The 53-year-old Democrat won a special election in March in a west Philadelphia district.
Johnson-Harrell, the first female Muslim member of the House, came to office with the intensely personal story of having endured the shooting deaths of her father, brother, cousin and 18-year-old son. She campaigned on a platform of ending gun violence, and is active in an anti-gun violence foundation named for her son Charles, who was shot to death in 2011.
She turned herself in to police Wednesday in Philadelphia. Through her lawyers, she released a statement saying she will resign from her $89,000-a-year House seat later in December….

Diversity hiring often means hiring someone who has personality problems, but the right “diversity” characteristics. Hiring someone because of diversity is as unproductive as not hiring someone for to exclude someone of their category. Hiring should be on merit and nothing else to achieve the highest standards possible. Of course, no candidate for any job is perfect, but some are outstandingly qualified. Mediocrities like this one should never be considered for a leadership role.
PRCS says
But THIS ONE isn’t a ‘diversity hire’.
She was ELECTED–by idiots who apparently think as she does’
Will another Muslim woman take her place until the next election?

What a kind, compassionate, and selfless human being (like Muhammad)!

she sure knew how to scam the system just like any good muslim would do; remember, deceit and lying is in their dna; being politically correct nails you in the ass every time
elee says
Why its racism and discrimination and Islamophobia to suggest a black Muslima should be held to the same ethical standards wed expect of, and enforce upon, a white man. The kafirs are not displaying sufficient self-abasement to accompany their jizya payments; Muslims should take the money and command more professions of repentance before the next installment can be credited.

OLD GUY says
Why do we want these un-American people within our borders, yet alone electing them to public office. They have nothing to add to our country but their hate for what we have and believe. Diversity when it comes to islam leads to bad things, just look at what happened in Pensacola. Why provide them with modern weapons and train them when they are the enemy.
