Jake Corman is hiding from questions about the fraudit and subpoenas because he’s too weak and afraid of Doug Mastriano
PENNSYLVANIA — It’s 3:30 PM on July 30th and Jake Corman is still weak and afraid of Doug Mastriano. Corman recently said through a spokesman that he “would not be interested”in saying whether he supports Mastriano’s attempt at a “fraudit” of Pennsylvania’s 2020 election. Not only is the potential fraudit based on nothing but lies and conspiracy theories — it would cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, expose the sensitive personal information of millions of voters to unknown third-party groups, and “render it impossible” for some counties to conduct upcoming elections.
Jake Corman is the top Republican in the Pennsylvania Senate and a member of Mastriano’s Intergovernmental Affairs Committee — which Mastriano is threatening to use to issue subpoenas to the counties that refuse to participate in his fraudit. Corman’s position allows him substantial influence over the process that could lead toward Mastriano’s fraudit, but he refuses to speak up or say whether he would vote in favor of subpoenas.
Mastriano is a noted conspiracy theorist with ties to QAnon and was first elected to the PA Senate in a 2019 special election. Corman was elected in 1999.
“Corman has been in office for over 20 years, but he’s being held hostage by a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist who hasn’t even completed a full term in the PA Senate,” said Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesman Brendan Welch. “Let’s tell it like it is: Corman is a weakling who would happily sell out Pennsylvania taxpayers to keep his fancy position in a do-nothing legislature. He needs to finally man up and come clean to the people of Pennsylvania about how hard he’ll get pushed around by a loon like Mastriano.”
