Pa. governor candidate Mastriano blames disappearing videos on Facebook setting – By William Bender (The Philadelphia Inquirer) / July 19, 2022
PHILADELPHIA — Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor, is sounding the “fake news” alarm over a Monday Inquirer article about his disappearing Facebook videos, claiming that they were removed due to a “default Facebook setting” that automatically deleted the videos after 30 days.
His campaign did not address why the most recent video cited in the story — recorded in late June — had already disappeared within about a week, or why many videos that are older than 30 days have not been deleted.
Jenna Ellis, a Mastriano legal adviser and former attorney for Donald Trump who was involved in his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, on Monday tweeted a statement attributed to an unnamed spokesman for the Mastriano campaign.
“The biased mainstream media is trying to manufacture a scandal, but they haven’t done their homework,” the statement said.
