U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah gets pass from Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC
Longtime U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah continues to feel the heat in his hometown of Philadelphia, six days after a former top political adviser admitted in federal court last week to lying to conceal an illegal $1 million campaign loan.
Fattah was grilled Tuesday morning on the citys well-known black radio station, 900AM-WURD, by his onetime mayoral campaign spokesman, Solomon Jones, during the stations morning rush hour show. He refused to discuss any potential relation the case has to him. Fattah has not been charged in the case involving former adviser Gregory Naylor.
Rumors have also begun swirling already inside the city's political power construct about possible replacements to fill his congressional seat should he step down.
But apparently, the Rev. Al Sharpton and his news producers at MSNBC where Sharpton hosts a show called PoliticsNation are a few news cycles behind.
Fattah appeared Tuesday evening on Sharptons left-leaning program for a segment that examined President Barack Obamas efforts to raise the federal minimum wage.
During the nearly nine-minute discussion between Sharpton and Fattah, the congressmans current predicament didnt come up. Fattah has not responded to attempts by the Daily News and the Inquirer to speak about Naylors guilty plea in the political corruption case.
His spokeswoman told the Inquirer, Congressman Fattah is committed to his work on education, brain research, and jobs, all of which has helped and continues to help millions of Americans. He is committed to continue this work for the next ten years in Congress.
On Sharptons show, Fattah talked extensively about the minimum wage as a crucial issue in the upcoming November mid-term elections.
