Thanks for sharing how awful that the same people who hired her for her opinions are now against her want to erase her for opposing majority isn't that what good writers do? They are suppose to ignite debates and promote conversations to be dealt with in respectful way. If she is innocent as she claims why is she resigning? Thats lame to come so far then quit? Someone make me understand this 

I have no idea what you are talking about. Please use the quote function.

OK. I figured out that you were referencing Bari Weiss. Using the quote function would have helped.

Quote

Mr. Mastriano, a retired Army officer who led Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the election in Pennsylvania, marched on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, passing police barricades breached by other marchers. He has boasted that as governor, “I get to decertify any or all machines in the state.” He has called for compelling all nine million registered voters in the state to re-register, which experts say would violate federal law.

Quote

Mr. Mastriano, the sponsor in the State Legislature of a six-week abortion ban with no exceptions, has appeared to modulate that position lately, saying lawmakers will write whatever bill they choose and “my personal views are irrelevant.”

But there are few signs that he has broadened his appeal to independent and swing voters, especially in the suburbs, who have played a pivotal role in recent Pennsylvania elections. He was supported by 82 percent of Republicans in a Fox News poll in late July, but independents preferred Mr. Shapiro by 28 points.

Quote

This week, he said he would not participate in traditional debates run by independent news organizations because of what he called their “hidden partisan agenda.” He proposed debates in which each candidate names a moderator — a nonstarter for the Shapiro campaign, which called the idea an “obvious stunt.”

Mr. Mastriano speaks almost exclusively to far-right podcasters like Stephen K. Bannon, conservative talk radio hosts and Fox News. On a recent swing through northwest Pennsylvania, he brushed off a Pittsburgh TV station that sought to interview him, and even the small-circulation Meadville Tribune.

One result of that approach is that he seldom has to field tough questions. And his poor fund-raising — he ended the primary season with just $400,000 in his campaign account, compared with $13.4 million for Mr. Shapiro — has left him unable to run TV ads all Summer to counter a barrage of attacks from his opponent.

The Shapiro ads use Mr. Mastriano’s words to paint him as outside the mainstream, not just on abortion and election denial, but on gay marriage, which he has said should “absolutely not” be legal, and on global warming, which he called “fake science.”

“You’ve basically got a one-person governor’s race right now in terms of voter contact,” said Christopher Nicholas, a Republican consultant in the state. “All the folks who listen to those far-right podcasts, I think he maxed out his vote potential. He has to move past his base.”

Don’t think so - the only ones calling for using deadly force against citizens are Republican legislators and far-right extremists.

Let’s talk about Senate candidate Fetterman that supports eliminating 1/3 of prison inmates in PA and doesn’t support life without parole for more murderers.

Yet the only ones using deadly force are riled up left wingers looking to kill Supreme Court justices and shooting up congressional baseball practices and crazy left wingers in no go zones in blue cities.
