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.

“If this was AL, this would not have affected Mastriano one bit.”
Seems to me they beat down Roy Moore too. With a lot of people here cheering them on. If people would rather elect communists who shut down their state over somebody who violated woke religion, then a pox on them.

How exactly he threatens Democracy, they don’t say. They never do. Basically, anyone who’s a threat to New World Order totalitarianism is now a “threat to democracy.”
Yes, he was a history instructor at the Army War College and also gives tours at Gettysburg Battlefield. He lives 15 minutes away from it.
If goes the other way and apologizes, he's done.
Chertoff rhymes with...
Can you share the full version of the photograph?
Show biden with Senator robert kkk Byrd and tie Shapiro to Biden.
Yep.
No surprise that the Bush Leaguers are coming out, en force, for DEMS!!
Cheney much???
They will keep doing it because the American people are too stupid, so they keep getting away with it.
Stupid, stupid country we've got here.
“We” are not playing into anything. Moderates are and there are a ton of them in PA. Why aren’t Maga’s knocking on doors and letting their neighbors know the context behind all this (they still probably think there will be a red wave)? My point is there are people on this site that will not vote for people like Oz because he beat their golden child Barnette; who is completely batshyt crazy and would have been worse than Mastriano by a mile!

who’s the guy in the front row without pants?
I addressed this a little further up. Being a (supposed at the time) pedophile and being the only Senate race going on in the country, that got way more attention than it would have normally! And being a pedo is worse than wearing a confederate uniform but the concept is the same...dont vote for someone in a primary just because they are MAGA. Dem $$$ were supporting Mastriano and Barnette big time!
Exactly. He should also talk about the divisions before and after the CW. Then talk about Democrats causing division today with a list of things Normal Americans support. Destroying girls sports, canceling people for difference of opinions, locking down the states, for example mandates. preventing oversight of ballot counting, etc.
“Moderates” are spineless, gutless swine who never stand for anything.
Chertoff. What a punk.
They just outted themselves as Deep State.
no kidding?! where are his pants?
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
