Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon D-PA
I had no idea who this was. Apparently she’s some Rachel Maddow tier catlady.
The Congresswoman’s office released this statement:
“Wednesday afternoon, at around 2:45 p.m., Congresswoman Scanlon was carjacked at gunpoint in FDR Park following a meeting at that location. The Congresswoman was physically unharmed. She thanks the Philadelphia Police Department for their swift response, and appreciates the efforts of both the Sergeant at Arms in D.C. and her local police department for coordinating with Philly PD to ensure her continued safety.”
Breaking 911 has been wrong before, so we still can’t be sure, but this is great stuff. Good on Jamal and JeQueerus for doing this.

Zero bail for that nigga who stole her car at gunpoint.
