PHILADELPHIA — Jenna Ellis, the senior legal adviser to Doug Mastriano's Republican bid for Pennsylvania, serves in that role primarily to stir his deeply conservative base and to agitate controversy on social media.
Ellis was at it again Friday afternoon, tweeting criticism of a Washington Post story that focused on the Jewish faith of the Democratic nominee, state Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
"Josh Shapiro is at best a secular Jew in the same way Joe Biden is a secular Catholic," tweeted Ellis to her 887,000 followers, calling both Democrats "extremists" on abortion and transgender issues.
