PA from cradle of democracy to land of insurrectionists - Paul Muschick commentary [View all]

snip: "Thursday, two of our elected officials, Congressman Scott Perry and state Sen. Doug Mastriano, were implicated as central figures in former President Donald Trump’s plot to thumb his nose at the Constitution and remain in power."

snip: "Pennsylvania also has the dubious distinction of being home to the third-most people charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that sought to keep Trump on his throne. Authorities have charged 47 Pennsylvanians. Only Florida and Texas have more, according to a recent article by Forbes."
