It was January 2021, and the Feds wanted to talk to Worthington, a fitness empresario in the Philadelphia suburbs, about his involvement in the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally that precipitated the storming of the U.S. Capitol building. While Worthington acknowledges he was in D.C. for the rally and that he helped bring busloads of people to the event, he has insisted “we never went to the Capitol.” Worthington, who reportedly founded and led the political action committee People4Trump and spent $30,000 of his own money to serve as a delegate to the Republican convention in 2016, had organized buses to carry hundreds of people to the rally. But he wasn’t available when the agents arrived at his house. He was in his office, on the phone with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a sitting three term member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Fitzpatrick is known as a moderate Republican who boasts of having an “all-time record in bipartisanship.” He represents a swing district that went against Donald Trump in last year’s election. In other words, he’s not one of the far right members of the GOP who have eagerly embraced Trump’s false narrative about his election loss. Nor has he publicly cozied up to the mob that fought to defend that lie on January 6. In a tweet that day, Fitzpatrick called it “nothing short of a coup attempt” and criticized Trump for “lying to his supporters with false information and false expectations.” He also spoke out against the riot and backed a resolution condemning Trump’s “reprehensible conduct.”
Seems like an easy seat to pick off next year.
