Wendy Bell Interviews An Insurrectionist (Adjacent?) PA Legislator!

And the results are what you'd imagine.

From The Angel Of Death's Facebook page:

Evidently, this is the rightwing outrage of the day:

A Republican state senator from Pennsylvania claimed Wednesday he was denied access to inspect what he claimed was a huge stockpile of personal protective equipment (PPE) being stored at the state’s Farm Show site in Harrisburg.

State Sen. Doug Mastriano, an Army veteran who represents Pennsylvania’s 33rd District, later posted Facebook videos about the incident.

Fox "News" left out the part where State Sen. Mastriano was part of the crowd outside of the Capitol when all those Trump supporters tried to cancel the results of the 2020 Presidential election. He was even scheduled to speak at the "stop the steal" rally beforehand.

As you can tell, I take treason very seriously. At the very least, State Senator Mastriano's selling the big lie that the election was stolen and that that lie prompted an attack on the Capitol on January 6. This set of facts should follow him everywhere. Forever.

But look back at how Wendy's framing the story: 

A whistleblower shares an explosive story of PA Gov Tom Wolf stockpiling thousands of pallets of PPE while nursing homes and hospitals NEED THEM.

OMG! Wolf is stockpiling PPE? 

Um, yea. Take a look at this from last Fall:

Governor Tom Wolf announced that Pennsylvania is prepared with a stockpile of personal protective equipment (PPE) now and should it be needed to fight the COVID-19 pandemic in the coming months.

September 28, 2020 to be exact. 

So this isn't news is it, Wendy?

As far as Mastriano's access, there's this:

He predicted he would likely be granted a tour soon, "under stringent conditions," after filing a formal request with administration officials.

 Um. So...huh?
