The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Phillip Fisher Jr., a pastor of Center of Universal Divinity who coordinates faith-based outreach for Philadelphia’s Moms for Liberty chapter, pleaded guilty to a felony count of aggravated sexual abuse of a 14-year-old boy when he was 25 in 2012:
He said his conviction is the result of a “railroad job” concocted by the political action committee for Lyndon LaRouche, a fringe conspiracy theorist who ran repeatedly for president…
A national spokesperson for Moms for Liberty did not respond to a request for comment about Fisher’s criminal history.
Sheila Armstrong, another Republican ward leader who chairs the local Moms for Liberty chapter, said she was also surprised. She said Fisher has been active in community outreach events with local and federal law enforcement, and she expressed concern that children were sometimes part of that.
