Moms for Liberty CEO and Co-Founder Tina Descovich Verbally Attacks the Bucks County Beacon at Harrisburg-Area Event

Before Moms for Liberty Co-Founder and CEO Tina Descovich ever knew Bucks County existed, she knew the Bucks County Beacon existed. That’s the reach our reporting has. Here’s what Descovich said at a Harrisburg-area event last week while introducing Bucks County Chapter Chair Jamie Tromba:

“And so I am very familiar with Bucks County. Bucks County Beacon, give you a shout out, has been after Moms for Liberty since we started. So, Bucks County, before I even knew it existed, I knew the Beacon existed because they were writing trash pieces about us. Straight up lies, I’ll say from the very beginning.”

First, I couldn’t be prouder that our media outlet was attacked by an “extremist” organization showcased in the Sourthern Poverty Law Center’s annual Year in Hate & Extremism report and who GLAAD correctly noted has been “waging war on LGBTQ and race-inclusive books.” I’d be worried if they were actually praising us.

Part of the Bucks County Beacon’s journalistic mission is to shine a light on “the growing threat of right-wing extremism to our schools, government, and democracy.” Moms for Liberty just happened to fit the bill. This national organization has a very active chapter in Bucks County and they had successfully infiltrated school boards and used their nenewfound to rewrite policies in order to make it easier to ban books and make LGBTQ students feel ostracized and unwelcome, among other abominations.
