I'm going to add to this Mastriano thread throughout the today. Mastriano held another public event in the rotunda today.
It was their christian revisionist history of the Penn Charter. You can see Mastriano hugging Abby Abildness while staff keeps me & other media away.

You can then see multiple capitol police gather around Mastriano to escort him up the rotunda steps.
Mastriano's people called for security twice because I was taking photos of him, supporters & wife following it.

Abby Abildness ended today's ceremony by reading the charter. She believes that "Pennsylvania carries the precedent of how god intended holy governance to be."
Abildness is an apostolic preacher that meets w/ far right-wing legislators & helps set their public facing agenda.

First set of photos from today's Christian White Nationalist rally in the Pennsylvania Capitol.
An unnamed GOP lobbyist who was watching this go down in the rotunda came up to me and said "this is like Christmas morning for you."

Judge McCullough then begins to lead the room in prayer. At the end she says "pray from heaven where the source of all authority reigns. Can we go to the throne room now and bow our heads."

McCullough finally starts this highly politically charged prayer that resembles something you'd see at a Sunday service.
