(born Nov 17, 1948) is the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania (2015 – present) currently known for his efforts to steal the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump. Complicit in the liberal denial of the 2020 Leftwing insurrection, he has referred to BLM riots as “peaceful protests”.[1] He is also pro-eugenics, having vetoed legislation to protect unborn children with Down syndrome from being aborted.[2a, b] Planned Parenthood spent 1.5 million dollars to boost his 2018 campaign. He vetoed a bipartisan bill in December 2017 that would have banned late-term abortions in the state of Pennsylvania.[7] Some have tied Wolf to infamous murderer Kermit Gosnell;[8] unsurprisingly, he has appointed an enabler of Gosnell to a government position. According to Wolf, the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court was “an attack on the Affordable Care Act and it’s an attack on [abortion].”[10]
2020 Election
At a rally in PA the day before the 2020 election, President Trump said of the crooked governor: “We’re all watching you, governor. We have a lot of friends with eyes on you.” The crooked PA politician did exactly as President Trump suspected. In a November 25th hearing, it was revealed by a PA lawmaker that Governor Wolf mandated Dominion voting systems for his state and illegally bypassed the legislature who never got to vote on it. Wolf also had barcodes, that would have proven each ballots validity, removed from mail-in ballots. Republicans questioned the actions: Why the need? Why the rush? How to pay for them? Gov. Wolf, along with his (now fired) Secretary of State Amy Boockvar, tried to prematurely certifiy the states electoral votes to Biden which was halted by a judge, but ultimately illegally certified.
Incompetent COVID-19 handling
As similar with other totalitarian governors, Wolf issued authoritarian policies,[11] including mandating face masks to be worn in public.[12][13][14] His approval rating unsurprisingly fell significantly,[15] and he has been sued over tyranny;[16] some of his orders were struck down by a federal judge in mid-September 2020.[17a, 17b] However, Wolf vetoed a bill in mid-October 2020 to re-open bars and restaurants.[18]
On par with other inept and/or corrupt Democrat governors including Gretchen Whitmer, Roy Cooper, and Andrew Cuomo, Wolf has been noted for his totalitarian, partisan handling of the COVID-19 pandemic that led to a high number of deaths and the destruction of many livelihoods in the state of Pennsylvania. Similar to Cuomo and Whitmer, Wolf and other officials ordered and were directly complicit[19a, 19b] in coronavirus-positive patients being transported to nursing homes which housed healthy seniors, and two-thirds of the 4,505 deaths by late May 2020 were reported to have been nursing home residents.[20a,b,c] Wolf’s own “health official” stooge hypocritically moved his own mother out of a nursing home as deaths skyrocketed.[21] Pennsylvania Republicans including Rep. Scott Perry[22] called out Wolf’s reckless actions, though senator Bob Casey, Jr. and representatives Brendan Boyle, Dwight Evans, Madeleine Dean, Mary Gay Scanlon, Chrissy Houlahan, Susan Wild, Matt Cartwright, Conor Lamb, and Michael F. Doyle remained silent on the matter.[23] The Justice Department in late August 2020 sent letters to Democrat governors including Wolf requesting data over the reckless orders that led to the thousands of nursing home deaths.[24]
Wolf admitted in early October 2020 that him wearing a mask in public was about “political theater”.[25a, b]
Pennsylvania Sens. Pat Toomey and Bob Casey, Jr. introduced a bill to protect nursing homes due to high COVID-19 deaths in such facilities.[26]
Wolf mandated in mid-November 2020 that residents in the state wear face masks in their own houses.[27] His administration also announced the implementation of additional strict restrictions amidst upcoming Thanksgiving.[28]
