Doug Mastriano is trying to appeal to a wider audience. He wants to steer the conversation toward inflation, taxes, parental rights, energy independence, and crime. But with less than three months remaining before Election Day, Mastriano continues to be haunted by
Doug Mastriano. Whether its a thesis he wrote 20 years ago warning of a left-wing Hitlerian Putsch, or a since-deleted Facebook video he posted this spring about the states deceitful GOP establishment and its secret disdain for veterans, the Republican nominee for governor cant seem to get out of his own way.
The post-primary hits keep on coming. This week? A 2018 radio interview resurfaced in which Mastriano claims that climate change is an academic fabrication (its not) and that Islam isnt compatible with the U.S. Constitution (it is, as Thomas Jefferson himself acknowledged).
The Constitution was founded on Christian-Judeo ideas, and its only compatible with that worldview, Mastriano, who was running for Congress at the time, said on WEEO News Talk 103.7 FM. Guess what? Not all religions are created equal, and they all have different worldviews. When asked in the radio interview if global warming is real, Mastriano responded: It is not. Its fake science, and its a racket at the academic level.
EDIT
In May, Mastriano, with a late endorsement from Donald Trump, emerged victorious from a crowded Republican primary field. But he has since been dogged by a constant stream of negative news stories and campaign missteps. Journalists, opposition researchers, and internet sleuths continue to uncover public statements, ranging from demonstrably false assertions and bizarre online musings to policy proposals that are far outside the majority opinion of Pennsylvania voters including many Republicans. Some of it has become easy fodder for attack ads by Josh Shapiro, his Democratic opponent. Shapiros campaign has been able to pull material directly off Mastrianos website.
