The PA senator is and always has been a total fraud. He cosplayed as a blue-collar dude and fooled a lot of people, particularly in western PA, en route to his primary win over real Democrat Conor Lamb, who will kick his underdressed ass in the next primary.
The senator's roots in a central PA family fortune were well hidden behind his Home Depot couture and mayorship in dead steel town Braddock. Now, he couldn't get elected dog catcher in the commonwealth. Nor will you see him publicly set foot in the state he claims to represent.
