Reply to comment by CDewfus in Fetterman predicts early Republican lead in vote counting due to changes by GOP lawmakers | The Hill by oldschoolskater

Mastriano was a speaker at the Stop the Steal Rally on Jan 6th, paid to bus down a group of protestors, and was pictured outside of the Capitol as it was being breached. He was one of the conspirators who attempted to put forth a slate of "alternate electors" to hand PA to Trump after he lost the state in 2020. He attempted to get PA to follow Arizona with a fraudulent "audit". He's bragged about how he could use his authority as Governor to change election results.

He's a Christian nationalist and has attended QAnon events.

I say without exaggeration this guy is an outright fascist.

Don't forget openly courting the antisemitic vote on Gab. Given we had a synagogue shooting in PA a few years ago, a candidate for governor courting donations and votes from the very platform where the shooter announced his plans should be an immediate turnoff for anyone. It's his own goddamn state, he knows exactly who he is courting on there because he is one of them.

I’m just gonna write this cause I never have before.

I grew up on Pennsyltuckey. Almost everyone from my former life is a hardcore Trump fan and a Christian extremist.

I cannot for the life of me understand how/why these people simp so hard for the state of Israel while at the time being openly anti-Semitic. Did I miss something? Are they just idiots?
