In a sweet interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, Pennsylvania Governor Doug Mastriano attempted to portray his denial of the 2020 election results as merely asking questions about the outcome “in accordance with our constitutional responsibilities” as a member of the state legislature.
Carlson Mastriano first asked MSNBC host Ali Felchi warning of Mastriano’s potential influence as governor when the time comes. to log out 2024 election results. “I just heard [Velshi] Explain that voting for you – voting in elections – is an attack on democracy. How does this work, I wonder? asked the Fox host.
“It doesn’t work at all,” replied the far-right candidate, who said his military background should allay any concerns about his ability to accept election results he didn’t like. “I’m not a hero, but [a] A 30-year-old colonel in the Army, a top-secret arrival, leads men and women from across that country and from around the world on sensitive missions. truly?”
Then Mastariano, a member of the Pennsylvania General Assembly when former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, described his efforts to oppose President Joe Biden’s victory as unfairly offending the left.
“November 3 happens. I begin to hear from the electors. I am a Senator, I represent them, and I ask questions.” I think the rule is, Tucker, only Democrats can ask questions like Stacy Abrams or Hillary Clinton.”
Carlson, who minutes ago claim it “There is no such thing as the denial of elections in a free society,” Mastriano attacked Democrats by defending the tactic of asking certain questions under the guise of free speech.
I don’t understand why Republicans put up with this for even a second. Many Republicans I’ve watched over the past two years have said, “I don’t want to do anything with lunatics,” Carlson said. “Really? I think it is the responsibility of the people who run the government to prove that the system is not corrupt, and to do it transparently. Why is no one saying that?”
“It’s that easy. [If] You have nothing to hide, open the books. Mastriano replied, to Carlson’s approval, that’s what I asked two years ago.
In November 2020, Maastriano Hosted a public meeting In Pennsylvania with other Republican lawmakers and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani looking for ways to cancel the election, Trump himself spoke to the group by phone. Then Mastariano went to the White House to meet Trump and later that month issue a note He said he would introduce a resolution declaring elections in Pennsylvania “irreparably corrupt.”
Mastriano attended the “Stop Theft” rally in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 and campaigned for Funded charter buses To take Trump supporters there.
This year, a January 6 House committee summoned Mastriano, who was reportedly uncooperative and “did not answer a single question” from lawmakers during an August interview. Then he sued the commission.
