Fox News analysts Karl Rove said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that unless protesters were arrested outside the houses of Supreme Court Justices, it is “open season on judges.” Discussing the arrest of an armed man outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home, Rove said, “The American Civil Liberties Union says this statue, we interpret at the following way, we point to a Supreme Court Case that suggests that as long as they keep moving in front of the house, If they are stationary, they should be arrested but if they are moving in front of the house have...

"I hate to say it, but it sure appears that they are willing to at least accept violence if it will meet the ends that they wish," Rep. Scott Perry said. During a tumultuous week, Democrats pressed hard during a prime time televised hearing to condemn the violence 18 months ago during the Jan. 6 riots while staying mostly muted on the arrest of an alleged assassin targeting conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over abortion rights. The performance has many critics seeing a hypocritical double standard. Liberal Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said Democrats' Jan. 6 hearings have been...

A left-wing group is trying to disqualify outspoken Trump supporter Pennsylvania state Senator Doug Mastriano from the state governor’s race because he allegedly participated in an “insurrection” against the U.S. government by supporting the former president’s reelection bid. Recent polling shows Mastriano has the lead—garnering 19 percent support—in the field of 9 candidates seeking the Republican nomination for governor of the Keystone State, according to a poll Eagle Consulting Group conducted of 502 likely GOP primary voters from April 7 through April 9, PennLive reports. The primary election is May 17. The current governor, Democrat Tom Wolf, is term-limited. Attorney...

WILLIAMSPORT – A federal judge has recommended dismissal of suits aimed at removing two conservative Republicans from the May primary ballot because of their efforts to overturn the election of President Joe Biden. U.S. Middle District Magistrate Judge William I. Arbuckle on Tuesday refused to certify the suits Jeffrey D. Hill filed seeking to have Doug Mastriano and Scott Perry disqualified. State Sen. Mastriano from Franklin County is running for governor and U.S. Rep. Perry is seeking his sixth term in Congress from the 10th District that includes parts of York, Cumberland, Dauphin and Perry counties. “Today’s recommendation simply reinforces...

Earlier this week, Gop Rep. Madison Cawthorn (NC) sat down for an explosive interview where he spilled the beans about the DC Swamp’s depraved debauchery that allegedly sees politicians regularly participating in cocaine-fueled benders and wild orgies. Cawthorn discussed being invited to orgies by the DC elites and seeing politicians that he “looked up to” for years doing hard drugs, like cocaine, in front of him. “You’re Asking Me to Do What?” – Madison Cawthorn Talks about the ‘DC elites’ Having Orgies and Doing Cocaine (VIDEO) Naturally, Cawthorn’s damning claims caused quite a stir among the DC elite, including catching...

Rep. Madison Cawthorn should out the fellow Republicans he claims invited him to orgies and snorted cocaine in front of him, the leader of the conservative Freedom Caucus said. Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry said he plans to speak to caucus member Cawthorn about comments he made in a podcast likening the Capitol Hill culture to the Netflix series “House of Cards.” “I think it is important, if you’re going to say something like that, to name names,” Perry, a Pennsylvania Republican, said of Cawthorn in an interview with Politico. The comments from freshman congressman Cawthorn, 26, have led to...

A Cumberland County man already running for office said Wednesday that he is pivoting to a bigger stage as the shock waves from Eugene DePasquale’s non-candidacy for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District continue to wash over through the midstate. Rick Coplen, a retired Army officer and current Carlisle school board member residing in Dickinson Township, has become the first - but maybe not the last - to give regional Democrats what they wanted most this week: a candidate to challenge incumbent Rep. Scott Perry, R-York County. “The family meeting to discuss this decision was short and sweet,” Coplen said in announcing...

U.S. lawmakers concerned about human rights in China, and their supporters, need to be exceedingly clear that their quarrel is with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and not with the people of China, said Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). The many human rights abuses in China, involving myriad issues such as forced labor camps, concentration camps, organ harvesting, disappearances, and extrajudicial killings, are urgent issues that call for concerted action, but Perry said that all too often, “China” is identified as the culprit in discussions of these matters, rather than the CCP. “I think you always have to make the distinction....

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) has announced he will not cooperate with the “illegitimate” House January 6 committee after he was asked to answer questions about the “Stop the Steal” rally that took place at the Capitol. Perry is the first member of Congress to be pursued by the Jan. 6 committee, but the committee has sent out dozens of subpoenas to President Donald Trump’s former White House staff. Over the course of its months-long investigation, the committee has yet to turn up any significant evidence to back up allegations that the Jan. 6 rally was the result of a premeditated...

The Chinese Communist Party has industrialized the murder of prisoners of conscience for their organs, and it must be stopped, a group of lawmakers from the United States and other countries said on International Human Rights Day. “These are living people having their organs taken from them,” U.S. Rep Scott Perry (R-Pa.) said at a Dec. 10 webinar hosted by Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting, a Washington-based medical ethics group. “We must challenge the evil designs of the Chinese Communist Party, which entails highlighting its wanton disregard for basic standards of human decency,” he said. The Chinese regime has for...

The House Freedom Caucus’ incoming chairman said that congressional Republicans have to devise a clear agenda and messaging ahead of the 2022 midterm elections in order to convince voters that there are distinct differences between them and establishment Democrats “in an era of freewheeling spending and large government,” Just the News reported. “We need to be in contact with more individual citizens and every single district in every state bringing the message to them so that they understand what the difference is and that there is a true difference,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) told the outlet.

Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., has tested positive for COVID-19, his office announced in a statement on Tuesday. "Like so many of our friends and neighbors, Congressman Perry has tested positive for COVID-19," his office said. Perry was experiencing "quite mild" symptoms and will continue working while quarantining at home as directed by the House physician, the statement added. The congressman's office also said it would not provide further comment as "this is a personal health matter."

Andy Biffs (R-Ariz.), who was term-limited. “For the past six years, I have stood shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the Freedom Caucus as we have tirelessly fought to hold the line to promote liberty, safety and prosperity for Americans,” Perry said in a statement on Monday evening. “I am grateful to continue to carry the torch for these champions of freedom.” Biggs will serve as chairman of the group until Jan. 1, which is when his current term...

Dems divided as anti-Israel flank grows more vocal Democratic leaders convinced their colleagues on Tuesday to drop an effort championed by the party’s left flank that would have delayed U.S. military assistance to Israel as the country battles Iranian-backed terrorist groups.

Gregory Meeks (D., N.Y.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC), abandoned efforts to delay over $735 million in arms sales to Israel. The Jewish state has used such weaponry during the past two weeks to battle Hamas terrorists as they...

A letter sent Tuesday from members of Congress to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Christi Grimm is demanding a “prompt and thorough investigation” into the National Institutes of Health’s relationship with the Chinese Communist Party-run Wuhan Institute of Virology. The 28 congressional signers, led by Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., write: "The NIH, unfortunately, has played a major role in supporting [the Wuhan Institute of Virology] and this treacherous research and the promotion of spurious claims dismissing the NIH-funded lab’s potential role in the COVID-19 pandemic." The Wuhan Institute of Virology is suspected by experts, including...

U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, often a lightning rod for so many, caught another bolt this weekend when he appeared as a central character in a series of New York Times reports about an 11th-hour effort by former President Donald Trump to weaponize the federal Department of Justice in his bid to invalidate President Joseph Biden Jr.’s election win. A number of Perry’s political foes - all Democrats - have called in the several days since for Perry’s resignation from Congress. And the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has promised its own inquiry into the matter, in which Perry is alleged to...

Sen. Pat Toomey and Rep. Scott Perry on Wednesday took aim at the Wolf administration’s handling of the coronavirus, blaming it for what they said was a weak state economic recovery. At a press conference in York attended by about two dozen business leaders and elected officials, the two Republican lawmakers criticized some of the restrictions and measures rolled out by Gov. Tom Wolf intended to mitigate the spread of the highly contagious virus. Toomey first outlined the federal response to the pandemic, including the release of trillions of dollars to states under the CARES Act, which he said significantly...
