Ex-lawmaker to run for lieutenant governor in Pennsylvania

Rick Saccone said Monday that he'll make a formal announcement Sept. 10.

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Editor's note: The above video is from Jan. 7.

A former state lawmaker and two-time congressional candidate from the Pittsburgh area says he'll run for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor next year. 

Rick Saccone said Monday that he'll make a formal announcement Sept. 10. 

Saccone drew attention Jan. 6 when he posted videos online from outside the U.S. Capitol that appeared to support the violent insurrection by supporters of then-President Donald Trump to prevent Congress from confirming Democrat Joe Biden’s victory. 

Saccone said Monday that he hasn't had any run-in with law enforcement over his statements and insisted he knew of no violence at the Capitol until he was at his bus, ready to leave.
