PENNSYLVANIA — It’s 2:40 PM on Tuesday, August 10th and Jake Corman is still weak and afraid of Doug Mastriano, the QAnon state senator. Today, the Tioga County Commissioners read a joint statement demanding that Mastriano cease his bull-headed fishing expedition for election records as part of his proposed Pennsylvania “fraudit.”
“The people of this county have nothing to hide, and Mr. Mastriano knows it… In fact, the only one who has made himself scarce since he made this blunder without the authority of his committee or the Senate is Doug Mastriano,” the commissioners said.
These are notable words from the commissioners of a county Trump won with 74.7% of the vote — and where they are facing death threats for their refusal to participate in Mastriano’s fraudit.
Meanwhile, Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman either staying silent or openly flirting with the fraudit — despite the fact that he could “end the madness” as the chamber’s top Republican, and sits on Mastriano’s intergovernmental affairs committee that would vote on subpoenas for the counties targeted by Mastriano.
“The Tioga County Commissioners deserve credit for standing up and calling this fraudit attempt what it is — a ‘one-man quest with a false accusation,’” said Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesman Brendan Welch. “It’s time for Jake Corman to stop being a weakling who lets a far-right conspiracy theorist and mean tweets run his own caucus and let the people of Pennsylvania know how he would vote on fraudit subpoenas. Our tax dollars, our personal information, and Corman’s credibility are all at stake.”
