Mastriano Gives Purim Spiel at D.C. Rally
Source Epoch Times
Pennsylvania State Senator, and 2022 gubernatorial candidate, Doug Mastriano (R, York), must be holding his Jewish calendar upside-down. Or maybe he’s reading it from left to right. What else could explain why, right smack in the middle of Chanukah, the senator felt compelled to offer a Megillah commentary, in an on-camera interview, Saturday (December 12) with a reporter from NTD News?
In the unlikely event that you don’t already know this; NTD stands for New Tang Dynstaty. It is the video media arm of Falun Gong, and is closely allied with (part and parcel of?) Epoch Times, which diligently seeks to be the most Pro Trump outlet in the entire media landscape (Take that, Breitbart and Newsmax!).
The Inquirer’s Andrew Seidman wrote a story that profiled Mastriano (December 5). Seidman (to whom Mastriano would not speak) referred to an interview that the senator did with Charlie Kirk on December 2. At that time, Mastriano briefly mentioned Queen Esther.
“If we get the call from God, we’re not gonna stand away from our Esther moment,” he told Kirk.
All eyes will be on the senator come February 25, when Purim begins. Perhaps then, Mastriano will share a dissertation about the bravery of the Maccabees.
