GOP Rep: PA Gov Is To Blame For His Own Arson Attack

The Daily Beast reports:

A Republican congressman accused “the left” of instigating the shocking firebomb attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home. He even suggested at one point that Shapiro himself was to blame. “Look in the mirror,” he told Democrats in response to the chilling attack, which caused widespread damage to the state’s governor’s mansion. Rep. Dan Meuser made the comments Tuesday on The Bob Cordaro Show, a local radio program on Pennsylvania’s WILK.

He then pointed the finger at Shapiro for bringing the attack onto himself by speaking out against President Donald Trump. “I mean, every action Josh Shapiro has taken so far against the president has either been a lawsuit or a falsehood; and, you know, that’s not helpful either,” he said. “That’s not helpful either.” Bob Cordaro jumped in, adding how Shapiro is “one of the amen chorus for the Democrat lunatics.”

Meuser is in his fourth term. In January 2021, he was among the 147 House Republicans who voted against certifying Joe Biden’s win.

He also signed an amicus brief in the unsuccessful lawsuit that sought to overturn Biden’s win in Meuser’s home state of Pennsylvania. 

In 2022, Meuser voted against the Respect For Marriage Act after a backlash because he had helped the bill advance out of committee. 

Last year Meuser falsely claimed that ABC News had supplied Kamala Harris with debate questions in advance.
