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 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?

You’re talking about a group that doesn’t even read the books they want to ban.

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.

Maybe it’s a certificate like mine for database administration. He’s a certified child abuser. He took some classes, and he knows how to abuse children. Like looking for the union label.

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.

If you have this kind of skeleton in your closet why the hell would you go into politics? Even local politics. You WILL piss someone off and they WILL dig up your past. Idiot.

Just put an “R” next to your name; problem solved!

Eh I agree with your first few points but his attire looks as 2023 as 2013 or 2003.

If dude just wants to be his dude self, I don’t think that’s a knock y’know. Then again, I was laughing when I read about Fetterman in his hoodie and ball shorts in the Senate, where I think your Sundays best is appropriate. So take my opinion for what may. I’m 42 and I still own ripped up jeans and flannels that I’ve worn since the mid 90s. I don’t wear them all the time but that’s still just me being me. More often than not you’d find me in a plain color or white T, prob with the sleeves rolled up over my shoulder and shorts on. Doesn’t matter what time of year. In the winter id prob be in mud boots and in the summer I wear water socks almost exclusively.

You dress how you feel. My body still feels like I’m 25, just with numb hands in the morning and more scars, well, and in better shape. I haven’t slowed down at all. If anything I’ve sped up.

I agree with everything but your edit. He’s a millennial, this is how a lot of us dress.

He’s almost a 40 year old man. There’s something seriously wrong with this guy.

Obviously, he sexually abused children.

But let’s not pretend that the way he dresses has anything to do with it.
