On Government Reform: Supported lawsuits, alternate electors after 2020 election

In Pennsylvania, Mastriano supported a barrage of lawsuits and a bid to appoint special electors. On November 25th, he hosted a theatrical hearing in Gettysburg, featuring Rudy Giuliani as a faux prosecutor. That afternoon, Mastriano and his son drove from Gettysburg to the White House at the President's invitation. (Mastriano tested positive for COVID-19 and was reportedly ushered out of the meeting with Trump.)

On Principles & Values: Prayed that God would influence Capitol election protest

He urged his followers to attend the rally at the Capitol that led to the riots, saying, "I'm really praying that God will pour His Spirit upon Washington, D.C., like we've never seen before." He has come to embody a set of beliefs characterized as Christian nationalism, which center on the idea that God intended America to be a Christian nation, and which, when mingled with conspiracy theory and white nationalism, helped to fuel the insurrection.
