McCabe \u2013OAN National Correspondent<br \/>UPDATED 7:09 AM PT \u2013 Friday, August 19, 2022<\/h5>\n<p><strong>(GETTYSBURG, PA.) <\/strong>The retired Army colonel and state senator running as the Republican nominee for Keystone State governor told One America News he is excited to rally Friday with Florida Republican Ronald D. DeSantis in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, it\u2019 gonna be fantastic,\u201d said state Sen. Doug V. Mastiano, who spoke to OAN from the Gettysburg battlefield, which is part of his district.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 team contacted him two weeks, and asked him if he wanted to join him at the rally, which is part of the governor\u2019s tour sponsored by Turning Point Action, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m like, are you kidding me? Heck yes, because my goal as governor of Pennsylvania is to make the Florida of the North because he set the gold standard for the good a governor can do\u2013leading a state as opposed to what we have in Pennsylvania,\u201d said the state senator, whose includes\u00a0the home and library of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal here is, of course, to spotlight Ron DeSantis on his visit here and show us the way Pennsylvania could become under such strong leadership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The state senator said Pennsylvania\u2019s Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and his party\u2019s nominee to succeed him, Josh Shapiro, are the opposite of DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese guys are shut down people,\u201d he said. \u201cThey sued to keep kids masked up. They sued to keep businesses shut down, they even sued nuns\u2014you believe that? I mean, who sues nuns?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mastriano said he expects a great crowd, because Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania are Trump Country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember that rally that Donald Trump did in, uh, Butler a couple of years ago? Something like 50,000 people showed up. I mean, it was\u00a0amazing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe support that that\u2019s out there\u2013Pittsburgh is no longer the sea of that it once was, you know, the Democrat party has left the hardworking Americans behind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a fact, the Democrats used to have a two million registration advantage in Pennsylvania,\u201d he said. \u201cNow, it\u2019s less than less than half a million.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The combat veteran said the reason Republicans are catching up is that the Democrats have left the political middle behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe party\u2019s too extreme for America.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neil W.
