Mastriano says FBI arrest of man for alleged assault at Planned Parenthood 'an abuse of power'

An anti-abortion activist from Upper Bucks County is facing federal charges for allegedly twice assaulting and injuring an elderly male volunteer acting as a patient escort for a Planned Parenthood clinic in Philadelphia.

Mark Houck, 48, of Kintersville, was charged by indictment with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrance Act, which makes it a federal crime to use force with intent to injure, intimidate or interfere with someone providing reproductive health care.

On Saturday, Doug Mastriano, the Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, released a statement in support of Houck and blasting the FBI and president.

"This morning, a heavily armed SWAT team of dozens of FBI agents raided the home of Mark Houck of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with his wife and terrified children inside over a case that was long thrown out by the District Court in Philadelphia. Mark and Ryan-Marie Houck’s seven children were traumatized and in tears as they witnessed their parents held at gunpoint and their father hauled away in handcuffs."'

So, if he doesn't want to be arrested in front of his children, then he needs to stop throwing elderly men on the ground.

Screw you, Mastriano. I can't stand the sight of you, and it looks like the rest of PA feels the same. Fifty people for a rally in Harrisburg? What a horrible candidate and even more horrible person.
