5. It's a warning shot at the GOP swing district Reps
Tue Oct 17, 2023, 10:11 AM
Oct 2023

I.e., directed for those representing purple districts like PA-1 outside of Philly, which has the only GOP Rep. in SE PA, where the county that makes up the entirety of that District voted for Biden.

I.e., Brian Fitzpatrick. He's only there because his brother (Mike Fitzpatrick) used to have that seat and that family was "popular".

When Democrats went out on the steps of the Capitol to commemorate the anniversary of J6, Brian Fitzpatrick was the only Republican standing out there with them.
