GOP Pennsylvania governor candidate Doug Mastriano banned the press from covering his campaign like your average wannabe despot. (Philadelphia Inquirer)

Mastriano is a Trump-endorsed Big Lie promoter. If he wins the governor’s race, Democrats can kiss Pennsylvania goodbye in 2024. Don’t believe me? Read Trump’s own words from his endorsement statement:

[Mastriano] has revealed the Deceit, Corruption, and outright Theft of the 2020 Presidential Election, and will do something about it. He will also Fight Violent Crime, Strengthen our Borders, Protect Life, Defend our under-siege Second Amendment, and Help our Military and our Vets. He is a fighter like few others, and has been with me right from the beginning, and now I have an obligation to be with him
