Establishment GOP PA Senate Candidate David McCormick Hosts Fundraiser With Dominion PR Rep
"David McCormick, the establishment Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, recently hosted a fundraiser with Dominion Voting System’s anti-Trump public relations representative Tony Fratto.
Fratto is a partner at Hamilton Place Strategies, a top PR firm that was hired by Dominion in December 2020.
“None of this is true about Dominion voting machines, not a single word. None of it,” Fratto wrote in a since-deleted tweet the same month the firm was hired.
McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO, was the Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs for the George W. Bush administration. He married Dina Powell, an executive at Goldman Sachs, in 2019.
Of course, McCormick was highly critical of President Trump’s China policy.
McCormick was a supporter of Jeb Bush during the 2016 election. He has praised Biden, saying that he really appreciates his “tone” and previously accused Trump of being “divisive.”"
Salvatore Antonio "Tony" Fratto (born June 27, 1966) was deputy assistant and deputy press secretary to former United States President George W. Bush.
Fratto served as deputy assistant to the president and deputy press secretary to President George W. Bush from September 2006 to January 2009. He was Principal Deputy Press Secretary under Dana Perino's tenure as Press Secretary from 2007 to 2009. In this role Fratto served as the White House's lead spokesman and communications advisor on a broad range policy issues in support of Bush, working directly with the President and senior White House officials, and speaking for the White House to the national press corps from the White House podium and in on-camera interviews.
Fratto represented the Bush Administration on international and domestic economic policy – including international trade; financial markets; tax policy; banking; and international development. He also served as the White House's lead spokesman on legal issues, Supreme Court cases, U.S. intelligence issues, terrorist financing and financial crimes.
Before moving to the White House worked at the U.S. Treasury Department where he initially served as the department's spokesman on domestic and international finance, and international development policy, and later as the assistant secretary for public affairs, responsible for all Treasury issues. Fratto was instrumental in developing the Bush Administration's messaging in dealing with global financial crises, currency policy, counter-terrorist finance, and tax policy. He assisted three Treasury secretaries on activities ranging from preparation for G7 finance ministers meetings to congressional testimony, interviews and speeches. Combining his work at the Treasury and the White House, Fratto directed and participated in communications efforts in visits to more than 60 countries around the world.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Fratto received his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pittsburgh, and attended the university's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs

Excellent digging! u/dty6 u/basedcitizen
So, in essence - are you suggesting that Trump endorsed Oz knowing full well that the game was rigged in favor of McCormick? Explaining how the razor thin votes keep trickling in to give him the "win"?
If so, to what end? PA Senate primary race recount w/ the GOP to keep it under the radar?
It seems that Trump forces them to cheat where he knows they'll rig it to win. McCormick was going to cheat his way to victory if he had to. Trump made sure he had to cheat. Trump also proved how powerful his endorsement is. He took Oz and made him the frontrunner. This pisses off the establishment who keep trying to push that Trump's sway isn't that big (proven lie).
McCormick (and the left who want McCormick as Fetterman's opponent) were never going to allow a real patriot to win the GOP primary. They had to waste a bunch of resources on a race that would have been a cakewalk for McCormick if Trump had not endorsed Oz.
While they're busy fighting tooth and nail to get McCormick through, Mastriano gets a cakewalk to the GOP's governor nominee.
What did it cost Trump? Nothing. He just had to say I endorse Oz. They had to spend tons of assets to rig the race. He made it costly for them.
Well, it looks to me like McCormick is definitely a RINO and will do whatever it takes to win. He's got money, so he can afford whatever he needs in order to do it. He went straight to someone who was involved with Dominion for his PR guy, who knows his way around voting and politics, having also worked for G. W. Bush. Both McCormick and Fratto are from Pittsburgh, which is corrupt and was involved in the 2020 voter fraud. Birds of a feather, and all....
