McCormick: “Senator Mastriano and I Have Become Friends and We Have A Lot of Mutual Admiration”
PENNSYLVANIA — This week, David McCormick was endorsed by January 6 insurrectionist and abortion ban supporter Doug Mastriano.
As McCormick receives this endorsement from a prominent election denier and fellow anti-choice Republican, he has yet to answer for his deep ties to fake electors and insurrectionists involved in plots to overturn the 2020 election and his support for an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.
Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesperson TaNisha Cameron issued the following statement:
“As David McCormick continues to stand with election deniers and other anti-abortion extremists, he’s also collecting their endorsements because he shares their dangerous agenda to push conspiracy theories and ban abortion. McCormick’s deep ties to his ‘friend’ Doug Mastriano is yet another reason why Pennsylvanians can’t trust him to be for them.”
Here’s What to Know About Doug Mastriano:
