Wade, Attorney General Josh Shapiro spoke about his office\u2019s continued commitment to protect abortion access for women in Pittsburgh on July 14, 2022. (Commonwealth Media Services) <\/p>\n<p>Shapiro\u2019s campaign has sent countless press releases to media promoting the claim. Shapiro has appeared on MSNBC discussing how worried he is about Mastriano and his supporters, with his campaign orchestrating high profile press conferences with politically-engaged Jewish leaders, including far-left Democrat and state Rep. Dan Frankel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI reject antisemitism in any form,\u201d Mastriano, an unashamed Christian, said in a recent statement.<\/p>\n<p>He has opened campaign stops with a Christian prayer and often a Jewish prayer from an attending rabbi.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Mastriano has been endorsed by Rabbi Joseph Kolakowski, who leads a Hasidic Jewish ministry, Congregation Havvoth Jair of Koblentz, in northeast Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been taught my entire religious life to vote for the right person, not merely for those identifying with the same religion. We are not electing a religious leader, but a leader for the executive branch of the State Government,\u201d Kolakowski said in a written statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am concerned about the blatant hypocrisy of espousing beliefs that contradict the basics of one\u2019s professed faith. Judaism is the original pro-life religion. The fact that Shapiro has the backing of one of the most dangerous eugenicist organizations, Planned Parenthood, should be sufficient for any God-fearing individual<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Religion has clouded the conversation in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race.
