Video Shows PA State Senator At Capitol Riot

Politics 5/26/21 12:07pm Read time: 3 minutes

State Sen. Doug Mastriano said he did not ever cross police barricades but video evidence shows otherwise.
By Ed Scarce



You might remember this creep from other stories we've reported on the January 6th riot at the Capitol, how he provided buses to the event, how he palled around with rioters who also attended his political rallies, and so on. Well, Sedition Hunters and others have pieced together video evidence that proves not only was he much closer to the unlawful events of that day but that he lied through his teeth about it.

Since many think that Mastriano will or at least has a good chance of being the Republican nominee for Governor in Pennsylvania, his antics from that day could go a long way to deciding who is Governor next year. The guy next to Mastriano in the top picture is former state Rep. Rick Saccone, who ran for Congress in 2018, somehow managing to lose to Conor Lamb in a district that Trump had carried by more than 20 points.

For example, he was the one who pushed the lie that there were more absentee votes than absentee ballot applications in PA, when in fact the number he used for the latter was from the primary election earlier in the year.
