GOP candidates in Pennsylvania were in Washington on Jan. 6

WARMINSTER, PA. » A top candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary — endorsed Saturday by former president Donald Trump — participated in the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, the day the U.S. Capitol was attacked.

So, too, did a surging candidate for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania.

And so did one of the Republican contenders to be the state’s lieutenant governor.

The trio are part of a phalanx of Republican candidates nationwide who traveled to Washington to participate in the rally that preceded the violent attack on the Capitol.
