How does deleting his Gab account help? He's clearly doing it for optics. It doesn't change the fact that he had a Gab account. Was he wrong to have that account? Is he going to denounce Gab and apologize for associating with conservatives?
If he just cared about appearances the best course of action would be to simply stop posting on the Gab account, and if asked about it say "I keep social media accounts everywhere. It's a way to put my message out. I don't endorse any particular platform or their policies."
Where did openly supporting Torba come into the discussion? Am I openly supporting Zuck if I have a FB account?
I haven't followed the details of this story, but the only way this actually looks reasonable is if he said "Hey guys follow me on Truth Social, that will be my ONLY social media account going forward."

It hurts him actively.
He should never have made an account there in the first place.
You don't realize how difficult it is to win this race.
Mastriano has less money than Shapiro, the media is all in the tank for Shapiro and being tied to Torba is electoral poison.
I would say PA governorship is the most important single race in this election cycle.
I cannot believe our own guys are attacking Mastriano right now.
With allies like this, we will never win anything.
Mastriano is playing the optics game to win.
He cannot openly support Torba and win.
It is that simple.
Shapiro winning would be a disaster.
Do you want expansion of mail in ballots and same day voter registration? That is what Josh Shapiro has promised to implement.
If we want to end election fraud in PA, then you better hope that Mastriano wins this race.
Don't make it easier for Shapiro by attacking our guy!
It really pissed me off so much to see this post because I cannot believe our people are so short-sighted about electoral politics.
I'm not attacking Mastriano.

This is what his statement was

Andrew Torba doesn't hide his power level about them.
Mastriano recently got 8.5 million from Pennsylvania Commonewealth Partners who wanted this to be said.
This needed to be done and the topic creator is attacking him for it.
I am not mad at you specifically. I am mad at everyone making this a big deal.
We need to win this race and people are caring about Torba of all people? Get the fuck out of here.
