GOP’s Doug Mastriano rants about ‘chemtrails’ after election loss
Doug Mastriano, the Republican who ran for governor of Pennsylvania this year, was widely considered one of the most extreme candidates the GOP put forward. He believed the 2020 presidential election was stolen, met with QAnon groups, had ties to an anti-Semitic social network where the Tree of Life Pittsburgh synagogue shooter posted his manifesto, and was even present at the Capitol during the January 6 attack. He ultimately went on to lose by double digits to Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro. Following his loss, he has turned to a new preoccupation, according to The Daily Beast: posting conspiracy theories about “chemtrails” in the sky.
Evangelicals slammed for their ‘empty’ rejection of Trump — after they realized he’s a loser
In recent weeks, key evangelical leaders who backed former President Donald Trump have begun to show signs of rejecting him, after years of staunch loyalty. But, wrote columnist Michelle Goldberg for The New York Times, there is no moral or spiritual basis for their change of heart — they have just decided he’s no longer of any use to them. “Religion News Service reported that David Lane, the leader of a group devoted to getting conservative Christian pastors into office, recently sent out an email criticizing Trump for subordinating his MAGA vision ‘to personal grievances and self-importance,’” wrote Goldberg. “On Monday, Semafor quoted Bob Vander Plaats, a prominent Christian conservative activist in Iowa, saying that evangelicals weren’t sure that Trump could win. Even Robert Jeffress, a Dallas televangelist whom Texas Monthly once described as ‘Trump’s Apostle,’ is holding off on endorsing him again, telling Newsweek that he doesn’t want to be part of a Republican civil war.”
