The ‘faith-based’ leader for Philly’s Moms for Liberty chapter is a registered sex offender
Phillip Fisher Jr., a pastor and Republican ward leader who coordinates faith-based outreach for Philadelphia’s Moms For Liberty chapter, pleaded guilty in 2012 to a charge of aggravated sexual abuse.
Phillip Fisher Jr. is a pastor and Republican ward leader who coordinates faith-based outreach for Philadelphia’s Moms for Liberty chapter.
He’s also a registered sex offender, due to a 2012 felony conviction for aggravated sexual abuse of a 14-year-old boy when Fisher was 25.
i like how moms for liberty's whole thing is that trans women are taking away opportunities from cis women and yet the leader of moms for liberty is a cis man.
I would never cease to point out to them how liberal it is that they don't discriminate by gender for the leader of Mom's for Liberty.
Fenerty said he was unaware of Fisher’s conviction until asked about it by The Inquirer last week.
Are they not doing background checks on these idiots before hiring them?
And spend money?
Perish the thought.
Only a few sentences later it's specified that they obtained a child abuse certificate for them which came back with 'no records exist'.
Happy to dis silly conservative groups, but it honestly looks like they did their due diligence with background checks.
I saw that, but then the next paragraph says:
Fisher is listed on Pennsylvania’s “Megan’s Law” website for registered sex offenders, maintained by the Pennsylvania State Police, in a file last updated in July.
So it doesn't seem like it would have been too difficult to find. A controversial political group claiming to "think of the children" should try really hard to make sure they aren't employing convicted sex offenders, especially in any kind of leadership role.
It’s almost like they recruit them.
There's an obligatory reminder that he is not a drag queen that should go here. Since conservatives keep insisting that drag queens are all (or mostly) pedophiles.
Not a drag queen, but a Republican grifter, again.
Whenever they say this they are just admitting that they find sexually attractive men dressed as women.
Otherwise nobody is thinking there's anything inherently sexual about drag. You can make it sexual, sure, only if you want to, though.
I love how there's one pissed off pedo/Republican down voting everyone in here.
If Republicans had an ounce of good faith I might wag a finger at conflating then with pedos. However they do not so I find this fucking hilarious
I gotta hand it to ya, Philly, you don't act predictable. This Mom for Liberty is a black man Republican, checkmate, atheists.
I was about to say, how is a black Republican man leading a women's group? Does he have godlike rizz? Is it possible to learn this power?
The national Moms for Liberty organization held a summit in Philadelphia this past summer, where denying transgender identity for children and removing books from school libraries were major themes.
Meanwhile, back at his church:
Fisher has supported Trump’s campaigns; a 2020 report by WHYY included a mural in support of Trump that Fisher said was painted on an exterior wall of his church by children he worked with in his congregation.
The charging documents allege that Fisher had oral and anal sex with the 14-year-old boy in January 2011
Fisher said he took the plea bargain to get out of the county jail, where he said he experienced violence from other prisoners.
Wew. That was a wild ride.
Yeah that’s enough internet for the day..
Anybody really surprised by such a relevation?
I'm sure some are, but they shouldn't be. Meanwhile, the MFL assholes are probably claiming it's all just a smear campaign.
Yeah, those pesky lefties and their time machines going back in time to frame good people years before they joined MFL. When will they learn that neo-cons are smarter than them and will quickly figure out their conspiracy while failing to provide any evidence every single time.
Definitely seems like a pattern with these things. So many of these people who are into some stuff, but rather than accept it as a personal battle, they channel everything into finding some external "evil" to help them rationalize the existence they're struggling with. It's too bad they can't see how many others they're hurting.
The dude running my local M4L has strong pedo vibes.
Any time another dude is more interested in someone's kids than their parents are? Alarm bells.
I get it, there are lots of well meaning men who care about kids. Unfortunately they present the same way as predators, and I err on the side of caution.
Moms For Liberty, more like Assholes with Casseroles.
Karens with Time
Fisher said he took the plea bargain to get out of the county jail, where he said he experienced violence from other prisoners.
So he used his position as a pastor in the African American community to advocate for prison reform, right? That seems like it'd be a pretty popular position in that community.
You say he instead decided to demonize trans kids? Well, ok, then.
At this point, I think I'm more surprised when the Republicans have an upstanding patron that isn't a pedophile, rapist, or crazy religious figure.
You seriously can't make this up any more.
It's usually all three at once
Everytime.
Hearing this kind of thing is becoming less and less surprising
you can't spell Republican without one of them being outed as a pedo because that's how often it happens
Gosh, it's almost like pedophilia and sexual abuse is a solid Republican value at this point.
The call is coming from inside the house...
ANOTHER Drag Queen!
Except not.

It's ok, everybody. He said that he was "railroaded." Everything's fine. /s
These stories still make me laugh, but I've stopped being the least bit surprised.
"I hate queers!" Oh, you're gay. Or attracted to trans women. Or whatever the fuck else makes you afraid.
That's one conflicted man I cannot appreciate but his excuse doesn't sound too far fetched TBH
Can you copy paste it. I'm pay walled.
Not the person you replied to but
He repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and called his conviction “one blip” in his background. He blamed it all on a dispute about his trying to break away from the LaRouche organization, and said the 14-year-old boy and his parents were part of that group.
“It was a political situation that happened between me and Lyndon LaRouche,” Fisher said. “It was a member of his camp, his party, that made the accusation. They pushed it through. It was really a railroad job.”
In his "defense", one picture from his time working for LaRouche included holding a poster of Obama with a Hitler mustache for some protest. By all means, I could see a group like that being crazy conspiracy theorists concocting some crazy plot to hurt him. But he was a part of that group. He's now a part of a different crazy conspiracy group. He could maybe try a group that isn't full of crazy conspiracy theorists. But then he might not feel at home.
We'll never know.
Oh well.
