Seven more Republican leaders have announced their endorsement for Pennsylvania's Democratic candidate for governor Josh Shapiro, following photos of GOP state Sen. Doug Mastriano wearing a Confederate military uniform.
This comes one month after nine Republicans vowed to support the Democratic candidate and called Mastriano an "extremist" who threatens American democracy.
According to a statement released by the Shapiro campaign on Tuesday, the group includes Michael Chertoff, the former US Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush, and Mario Civera, a former state representative.
Shapiro, the state's attorney general said he was proud to receive the endorsement from these GOP leaders "who are putting our Commonwealth ahead of partisan politics in order to come together and move Pennsylvania forward."
In the press release, Chertoff, the former US Secretary of Homeland Security said while he's a long-standing Republican, he is "deeply troubled by Doug Mastriano's embrace of dangerous extremism."
"Josh Shapiro, on the other hand, is a staunch defender of our democratic institutions and will lead Pennsylvania with honor and integrity. I am proud to support his campaign for Governor," Chertoff said.

Michael Chertoff?????
The DS/DHS/TSA imaging equipment mogul Chertoff??
LOLOL!!
“ Seven more Republican leaders have” showed their asses. Now we know where they stand.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Those aren’t republicans; they are RINOs. Huge difference.
No kidding.
Who is that shorty pants puffer? Any association to the current regime?
Seven more Republicans have demonstrated they have no brains, no backbones, no balls and no guts. Complete squishes.
I have tried to tell folks, the GOP of PA is a swamp.. they will not support Mastriano... (they won’t support anyone, who doesn’t tow their line, and will actively destroy anyone who doesn’t)....
Mastriano will need to fight both the Democrats and the GOP Establishment in PA to win.
We will see if he can pull it off.
1. there is a double standard, so that’s what we have to work with...we have to push forward better MAGA candidates and 2. it was Northam and not McAuliffe who wore blackface!
BFD. The Lincoln project types can wail and cry all they want.
Who are these so called republicans, George Will, Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol???
Profiles in courage. *spit*
See all you boneheads...this is what I’ve been saying. You cannot get MAGA elected in the Northeast! If this was AL, this would not have affected Mastriano one bit.
Actually, it was AL and the senior GOP Senator barnstormed the state in support of marxist Democrat Doug Jones. He won and Obamacare repeal failed by one vote.
You can always find a reason to surrender if you wish.
They are spineless parasites who possess no core values, other than getting rich via politics.
Now By God, that is what I like about Republicans. Loyalty.
Yes sir, loyalty to whichever way the wind is blowing.
I am so sick of scare tactics and even more sick of pussies that are afraid of their shadows.
Mastriano NEEDS to start running ads NOW with Northram in BLACK FACE and the NO ONE cared!! Mastriano needs to take the bull by the horns!!!
well a (supposed at the time) pedophile isnt going to win in any state...and the obamacare repeal vote was in July 2017, well before the AL special senate election
This is absurd! They obviously have infiltrated the GOP.
They all supported Shapiro from Day One, this was just their “excuse”.
