This piece of shit can't even hold office under the 14th amendment. We need to enforce this.

If someone could kindly copy and paste the article or relevant quotes... Despite not reading any articles lately, my account says I'm out of free articles. Much annoyance.

>Mr. Mastriano, who promotes Christian power and disdains the separation of church and state, has repeatedly lashed Mr. Shapiro for attending and sending his children to what Mr. Mastriano calls a “privileged, exclusive, elite” school, suggesting to one audience that it evinced Mr. Shapiro’s “disdain for people like us.”

The man accused of perpetrating the Pittsburgh shooting had posted antisemitic screeds on Gab, and Mr. Mastriano’s payment drew bipartisan condemnation. The platform’s founder, Andrew Torba, defended Mr. Mastriano and declared that “we’re not bending the knee to the 2 percent anymore,” an apparent reference to American Jewry.

I guess anybody who sends their kids to Catholic School is also “privileged, exclusive, elite”. Right Mastriano?

I’m sure Mastriano thinks that’s somehow different.

Yes, it's different to him. He envisions a "Christian" nation with "Christian" law. That's why he wants taxpayer money that will prop up Christian schools. And not just any Christianity. He's talking the fire and brimstone evangelical style stuff. He won't respond to news outlets that aren't Christian and thinks mainstream media is controlled by Jews. Yep, just like 1930s Germany.
