This State Rep Must Resign!

Details

The videos of open homosexual State Rep Brian Sims harassing and bullying pro-lifers outside a Philadelphia Planned Parenthood have not only been a hot topic throughout the week here in Pennsylvania, but they have been covered extensively by conservative news outlets across the nation. 

For eight minutes Sims harassed a woman peacefully praying outside the Locust Street Planned Parenthood.  Watch here  

In another video Sims offers to donate $100 to Planned Parenthood if viewers can identify the teenage pro-lifers in his video. 

These videos have been removed from his Facebook page.

Pennsylvania Republican Party Chair Val DiGiorgio has sent letters to state and federal prosecutors calling for a criminal investigation into the incident. 

Here’s what Title 18, Section 2709 says in part:   Harassment.

  • Offense defined.–A person commits the crime of harassment when, with intent to harass, annoy or alarm another, the person:

(2)  follows the other person in or about a public place or places;

(3)  engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts which serve no legitimate purpose;

As we’ve seen around the nation, the tactics of the Left are becoming more aggressive and unhinged.  State Representative Brian Sims is a perfect example.  Pennsylvania Democrats have largely been silent.  Governor Wolf’s office issued a statement, which says in part:  “As a former Planned Parenthood escort, Governor Wolf understands the horrific shaming that patients face but those supporting patients should not utilize or legitimize such tactics. Governor Wolf believes we can support and defend our positions without engaging in aggressive tactics.”

On Tuesday Sims took to Twitter and posted a response.  He did not apologize, but expressed regret saying, “Last week, I wasn’t a patient escort, I was a neighbor and a concerned citizen, and I was aggressive. I know that two wrongs don’t make a right, and I can do better, and I will do better for the women of Pennsylvania.”

This is part of a long history of Sims attacking those with which he does not agree.
