Pennsylvania republican candidate for governor said in raw story he doesn't want practicing Jews

[Duncanpup]

Mastrianio said he wants no practicing Jews in his party (article is in raw story) I can’t post from I phone yet don’t they realize Jesus was Jewish. Christianity was not even on the horizon when Christ was running around Galilee. The republicans Jesus the pasty white version who spoke murican and wanted open carry for swords.

1. Wow. They really are counting on the 'no exceptions for rape and incest' thing to increase

the number of Republican voters, aren't they?

[Duncanpup]

2. Yep

[JohnSJ]

3. Not only Jews, he said he doesn't want any non-Christians

[SCantiGOP]

4. Need a constitutional amendment for that

No religious test for holding office is in there.

[JohnSJ]

5. No kidding. However, they are hoping for a dictatorship where they make their own rules

[Thomas Hurt]

8. We already have a defacto religious test or near enough it doesn't matter.

[TheRealNorth]

14. Only if SCOTUS says so.

[brush]

10. Pls let this fool keep talking. He increases the number of voters...

against him every time he opens his mouth.

[JohnSJ]

11. +++

[SCantiGOP]

12. What he is saying is clear evidence

of desperation and the fact that he knows he is way behind.

[brush]

13. And clear antisemitism messaging is putting him even...

further behind. I'm glad he's letting everyone know who he really is.

[Hortensis]

15. Also very anti-Muslim. Anyone want to bet a nickel his intense,

ideology-defining bigotry also includes intense racism? Especially considering the intense racism of the demographics he’s talking to.

6. Mastriano made his anti-semitism clear when he hired the guy from Gab

... as his speech writer, or something.

I posted another reference to M.'s anti-semitism a few days ago in the Pennsylvania thread.

He's a piece of work, isn't he? Not even trying to hide it. Of course the fact that Shapiro IS Jewish makes it even more delicious when Shapiro tans the hide off of him in November.

7. The governorship of PA is crucial for the whole country. Every bit of exposure of the truth

about Mastriano is important. Thanks for posting this.

9. Doug Mastriano's aide and GAB CEO, Andrew Torba, said this.

Original Jerusalem Post article: Jews, non-Christians not part of conservative movement - GOP candidate consultant

Jews and other non-Christians are "not conservative" because it is "an explicitly Christian movement" and because the US "is an explicitly Christian country," said Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab and reportedly a consultant for state senator Doug Mastriano, the Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, in a livestream responding to recent condemnations of Mastriano and Gab.

Mastriano has come into the public eye in recent weeks after US media outlets reported that he had spent $5,000 on advertising on Gab, a social media network favored by the far-right. The candidate has also reportedly paid for "campaign consulting" from the platform, with reports that new Gab users are set to automatically follow him.
