Mastriano’s Allies Would Welcome Liz Cheney

“Allies of Republican gubernatorial contender Doug Mastriano say they’d gladly welcome U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney to town to campaign against their candidate, insisting that she’s not in touch with the GOP’s base anyway,” the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

“Indicative of the fervent distrust that Mr. Mastriano’s base has with establishment types, Ms. Cheney’s comments this past weekend — that ‘we have to make sure Mastriano doesn’t win’ the Pennsylvania governor’s race — were quickly dismissed by the state senator’s loyal backers on Monday.”
