John, we have a breaking story for you today:
"Caught on Tape: Doug Mastriano Prayed for MAGA to ‘Seize the Power’ Ahead of Jan. 6" -- Rolling Stone
Just one week before the January 6th insurrection, on a virtual meeting with Christian nationalists who hoped to keep Donald Trump in the White House, Doug Mastriano, the GOP candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, “prayed Congress would ‘disregard’ Pennsylvania's election results,” and disenfranchise the nearly 7 million voters who cast their ballots in the Commonwealth alone.
But he wasn’t just addressing Congress. “Looking ahead to Jan 6, [Mastriano] said: ‘I pray that… we’ll seize the power.’” Those aren’t the words of someone planning a peaceful trip to the Capitol.
As described by Rolling Stone, “Mastriano’s appearance is brief, but he delivers a rapid-fire prayer, dense with violent imagery,” such as his thinly veiled call to violence, praying “‘that we will seize our Esther and Gideon moments…’ invoking a pair of Old Testament heroes who made themselves instruments of God’s vengeance.” John, this is yet more clear evidence that the threat to our democracy is ongoing, and it is dire. We must defend our democracy and expand the electorate in PA to secure free and fair elections for the future of the Commonwealth. Will you invest in defending it today?
