Former president Donald Trump gave his coveted endorsement to Republican candidate for governor Doug Mastriano early on Saturday morning.
For his part, Mastriano responded by thanking Trump. “I’m honored to receive the endorsement from President Trump today. But the honor is not for me. It’s for the millions of hard working Pennsylvanians who want their individual liberties restored, power returned to the people, and for their elected leaders to fulfill the America First – and Pennsylvania First – agenda.”
Mastriano held a rally in Bucks County later Saturday afternoon along with Kathy Barnette and reporters were barred from attending.
CBS News reporter Robert Costa tweeted that “what struck me was how no explanation was offered. No Barnette or Mastriano aides formally addressed the press despite repeated calls to do so. No one offered explanation for conduct of guards + refusal to allow reporters to simply cover a now major Senate campaign.”

A seditionist supporting a traitor, who’s surprised? Maybe they will hold hands when they go before the January 6th Committee. If they are charged with any crimes, maybe they can be cellmates.
Lou Barletta doesn’t sling bullshit religious political rhetoric like me. I am the real deal.
Trump recognizes I will do anything he tells me and I’m going to be cleaning up after his paid romps with porn stars for years after I lose in November.
Teddy Daniels, Barnette and I have to get to our weekly meeting where we pick out the craziest conspiracy theory and figure how to explain it to our dumb base.
Barletta deserves this. He hasn’t stuck his neck out to endorse or campaign for other R’s in PA for the last 20 years. It’s always been all about himself. Barletta just got a taste of his own medicine.
He was endorsed by “former President Trump”. And the fact that he is holding rallies and barring the press should be a grave concern for all. Ding Dong Doug has spent the last 2 plus years calling Wolf a dictator, but it is he who shows clear signs that he is a dictator in waiting and would likely be one of the worst governors in the history of Pennsylvania.
Oh and don’t forget….. He’s and INSURRECTIONIST.
It’s illogical. Mastriano is too far right to win PA. Barletta put his neck on the line early and often for Trump. Did Trump even read Daniels background before doing this? Trump wants an LG who has had multiple past PFAs on him? Trump just handed this one to Shapiro.
And would someone Tell that egomaniac Ted Daniels that Trump didn’t endorse him to? He endorsed doug. Only. Ya don’t run as a ticket in a primary. Lt gov race doesn’t team up til the general. Coat tail rider.
