ELECTION/GOP/PENNSYLVANIA/RACISM/TRUMP PEOPLE: “A Republican congressional candidate in Pennsylvania is trying to distance himself from his friend and former radio co-host Carl Higbie, who resigned from the Trump administration earlier this year after CNN’s KFile uncovered anti-gay, anti-Muslim, racist and sexist remarks he made on his radio program. Guy Reschenthaler was Higbie’s co-host on the radio program ‘Sound of Freedom’ and the author of the foreword for Higbie’s 2012 self-published book. Now, in the midst of a primary against Rick Saccone for Pennsylvania’s newly drawn 14th Congressional District, Reschenthaler told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in April that he didn’t read his former co-host’s book before writing the foreword. He has also denounced the book’s contents, which as first reported by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters, contain anti-gay, racially-charged, anti-immigrant, and birther comments…In addition to writing the foreword, Reschenthaler also held fundraising events during his successful 2013 run for district judge in Pennsylvania where Higbie sold and signed copies of the book.”
