Pa. GOP candidate says he'll bring 'strong men' to intimidate pro-mask school boards
A Republican political hopeful from the Lehigh Valley has threatened to bring “20 strong men” into school board meetings and demand that elected officials who back mask mandates either “leave or…be removed.”
Steve Lynch, a personal trainer who is running for Northampton County executive, made the threat during a rally in Harrisburg on Sunday night.
The rally included a smattering of causes, from anti-vaccine and anti-mask sentiments and right-wing militias to still-loyal supporters of former President Donald Trump.
In a portion of his speech noted by two independent journalists, Lynch told the crowd of roughly 200 people that he needed men to come “when we walk into those school boards” that approved mask mandates.
