PA’s R candidate for governor, Mastriano, was there and is under investigation. I am directing all my “thoughts and prayers” to hearing that he’s been similarly arrested in the near future.

Then there was the time he advocated bringing guns to polling locations and unplugging voting machines, during a debate.
“If you see something you don’t like happening with the machines, and you see something going on, unplug it from the wall,” Kelley said.

I’m hoping the withdrawal of party protection for this fascist scumbag signals real fear on the GOP’s part about how the hearings are going to go iin exposing the involvement of theur own.

I doubt he withdraws. The candidates that were removed from the ballot for petition fraud leaves the most wackodoodly wackadoodles.
Whitmer getting a second term is looking better but I’m not 100% sure about it yet.

“… when Covid was at its worse…”
Don’t you mean worserest ?
Yeah, like those who would vote for Paxton are gonna listen to anything that Liberal Rag* suggests…
There’s the General Election coming up, so we shall see…
*The Chron is not, nor has ever been a Liberal Rag. More a Business Mouthpiece, than anything else, especially compared to the late, lamented Houston Post.
But even the Chron sees the likes of Paxton as ultimately being bad for business…

2 candidates who had been running obnoxious ads on Detroit TV stations were disqualified. Which is nice for the Detroit ambulance chasers who like to advertise during local programming hours.
