Failed candidate, Confederate soldier-cosplayer, and tariff enthusiast Doug Mastriano is running for Pennsylvania governor again.. or he just really wants us to think he is.
This time his launch, or weird attention-seeking tweets and rage bait, is even lamer.
“Doug Mastriano is a weirdo who can’t take the hint that no one in Pennsylvania wants him, no matter how many times they tell him,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Monica Venzke. “He is anti-abortion rights and anti-free and fair elections — but certainly isn’t anti-raising prices or anti-insurrection. Pennsylvanians are tired of him, and maybe this time the message will stick.”
In case you forgot (lucky you), here’s some reminders about who Doug Mastriano is:
- Mastriano is a staunch supporter of the Trump tariffs that are costing Pennsylvanians thousands of dollars, decimating small businesses, and costing them their jobs.
- This includes Mack Trucks, which laid off hundreds in Lehigh Valley.
- Mastriano visited Trump in New York, even after knowing Trump was on the Epstein list.
- Mastriano fully supported the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
- Mastriano attended the January 6th insurrection and breached the police barricades — despite insisting — dishonestly — that he was there peacefully.
- He used his campaign funds to pay for travel to the attempted coup, and shamed the media for painting him as a “villain.”
- He was subpoenaed by Congress for his alleged role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election by sending false electors to Washington, DC.
- Mastriano compared losing his last gubernatorial bid to what Jewish people went through during the Holocaust.
- Mastriano came out in favor of eliminating HIPAA rights at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Mastriano wanted to “slash” $12 billion from public schools in Pennsylvania.
- Mastriano is a science denier who called global warming “fake science.”
