After coming under intense criticism for allying himself with the anti-Semitic founder of the social media platform Gab, and paying Gab $5,000 for “campaign consulting,” Pennsylvania’s far-right gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano tried to distance himself from the site on Thursday.
Isn’t there a quote about you’re known by the company you keep? Or would the, if you lay down with dogs, you get fleas, be a better example.
“We’re building a parallel Christian society because we are fed up and done with the Judeo-Bolshevik one…We don’t want people who are Jewish…we’re not bending the knee to the 2% anymore.”
Have fun trying to wipe the stink of that dog doo off your shoe jackboot, Dougie.
“Andrew Torba doesn’t speak for me or my campaign. I reject anti-Semitism in any form."
“We don’t want people who are Jewish.”
One step forward, three big goose steps back.
Torbo is proud of his white christian nationalism and antisemitism. Doug, you had to know this. So, if he doesn’t speak for you, why did you pay him for this?
His campaign paid Gab $5,000 for “campaign consulting” earlier this year, in what HuffPost reported appeared to be an agreement that every new user on the platform would automatically follow the campaign’s account.
…"but we need candidates, leaders, thinkers, influencers, culture warriors, and builders who believe in and follow Jesus Christ.”
That’s a bit of an understatement.
They seemed to memory hole that Jesus was a Jew.
And in a statement, Mastriano said site founder Andrew Torba “doesn’t speak for me” before saying Democrats and the media were using the story as a distraction … “from the really crazy shit I want to do.”
That’s typically these Christofascists’ response when they’re called out on their antisemitism… “How can I be an antisemite when my all-time favorite person ever was a Jew?!?”
Jackboot Dougie would be a perfect moniker for the Shapiro campaign to weaponize. “Jackboot Dougie wants to stick his business into your family’s private medical decisions”.
Who died and made Mastriano God?
Jesus?
Jon Stewart had is right yesterday. He called these crazy Republicans “motherfuckers” for voting against vets health care.
I thought fascist was a better term but man it seems really right for these wackos.
Close but more possible would be Trump.
I don’t blame Mastriano for thinking Christian nationalists would tend to support him. He’s a Christian nationalist himself, so that’s a rational assumption. I blame him because fuck you punks. Find a rock in the ocean and live by your stupid views on it. Otherwise be very sure I’d happily pick up a rifle and dispute the matter with all of you, and I’m a pretty good shot.
“ We don’t want people who are Jewish. We don’t want people who are, you know, nonbelievers, agnostic, whatever.”
I don’t think that will be a problem for you, Doug. In fact, I’m sure you will get the full support of only those who think like you.
I’m not a 2 percent Jew. I’m whole Jew.
Remember when Americans in uniform shot Nazis on sight?
Those were the days…
Thing is, before Pearl Harbor (and Germany attacking Russia) there were people on the right and left who weren’t entirely sure it was our fight. After, they wisely kept their doubts to themselves.
Ask every one of these Christian nationalists which church they belong to and how much they contribute. My guess is that the all go to Our Lady of Political Expediency.
