Doug Mastriano says he's not extreme. So why do many say he is?

Doug Mastriano is irate that he is being called an extremist.

“I’m really sick and tired of it,” the Republican nominee for Pennsylvania governor said in an interview last week with conservative comedian and pundit Ben Stein.

His critics paint him as a fringe figure. One of his GOP rivals said he “comes across as a cult guy.”

The argument against Mastriano begins with his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and his presence at the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. His history of promoting former President Donald Trump’s election lies has extra significance in Pennsylvania, a swing state where governors appoint their own secretaries of state.

The whole "equality" thingy still doesn't apply unless you're white, male, and christian. Sorta like ancient Rome.
