A federal grand jury indicted Republican Florida state Rep. Joe Harding on six counts after authorities said he illegally obtained $150,000 in pandemic-related small business loans by allegedly using the names of two dormant companies.

The indictment, unsealed Wednesday night, alleges that between Dec. 1, 2020, and March 1, 2021, Harding used the dormant companies on applications for loans on the Small Business Administration’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan applications, including using false bank statements as supporting documentation.

The indictment accuses Harding of using two companies on loan applications: The Vak Shack, which according to its website, sells discounted vacuum sealer bags, and Harding Farms, a 46-acre horse and cattle far facility. Both companies had not been active in Florida from between May 2017 to December 2020.

No surprise here.

No surprise that his immorality affected both his politics and his business. Typical Republican.

Thank God the world has Christian Morals to judge others by, right?

[–] Thaisticks (3297) 2 years ago

I'm not religious. One can have morals without religion, if you only had a conscience. And I thought christians were not supposed to judge. You're all ways messed up. I think you must be a masochist to always be posting such stupidity, or just a troll.

The world was a pretty brutal place before Christianity. If your morals align with Christian morals....there's a reason for that. 😉 ☮❤✝

I'll ignore the insults and projection.

Yeah, the crusades were righteous killings, the inquisition was not brutal at all, nor the Salem witch trials, the Mayans were bloodthirsty heathens, as were the American Indians. Thank the gods for giving us christianity to deliver us from such bloody practices.

As poster BossDog stated: ”I don't think you really want a war between who was misappropriating more COVID Funds between liberals and conservatives.

Question is: Who are ya going to throw daggers at now? Hmm? I don’t give a rat’s patootie be it Republican, Democrat, business owners, etc., they need to be tarred & feathered and thrown into a dungeon!

No kidding, the Gov passed over $8 trillion in stimulus and Covid relief. Like always, the 1% benefitted from this.

Yeah! Here’s another one! Damn crooks!

”Rep Pleads Guilty to Mass Voter Fraud: Thousands of Dollars Paid to Crooked Judges”

“House Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers of Pennsylvania pleaded guilty Monday, admitting that he spearheaded a scheme to manipulate state election results in favor of Democratic candidates.”

Oh, silly me! I thought Rep. meant Republican! This guy is a DEMOCRAT!

Did you post anything about the following:

”Former Democratic Congressman Charged With Fraud”

”T.J. Cox, a former Democratic congressman from California, is accused of several schemes intended to cheat investors and divert campaign contributions.”
