PA-SEN: PA lawmakers call out Dave McCormick's (R) investments in antisemitic media platform [View all]

Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick’s financial investments into Rumble, an online platform that houses right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis, have been called into question by Pennsylvania Democratic lawmakers and members of Pennsylvania’s Jewish community.

“You can’t call out anti-semitism on Monday and then invest millions of dollars in a platform for known hate-mongers on Tuesday,” State Rep. Dan Frankel (D-Allegheny) said at a press conference in Harrisburg on Wednesday.

“When white supremacists and conspiracy theorists were ousted from YouTube and they sought out a platform with no rules when it comes to hate speech, Rumble welcomed them in.”

Wednesday’s press conference was hosted by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party and is part of the “Don’t Trust Dave” bus tour, which highlights McCormick’s policy positions.
