CNN reports that our Pennsylvania Second Lady, Gisele Fetterman, was harassed while grocery shopping in suburban Pittsburgh.

Trumpism is so far in the open that people think they can give her grief because she wanted groceries. I’ve met John and Gisele during campaign activities. They are two of the nicest people I’ve met in many years. Gisele has a special place here in Lebanon County when she coordinated opening the swimming pool at the Lt. Gov’s mansion (yes, we have one of those at Fort Indiantown Gap) for use by area youth groups (at least pre-COVID).
The Lt. Gov. does not live at the mansion, saving the Commonwealth a bunch of money. But Gisele found that the pool expenses would continue regardless, so she came up with the idea to let youth groups use it in a county where several community swimming pools are closing. (full disclosure- I represent one of the local swimming pool redevelopment groups)
I can’t believe that anyone who knows Gisele Fetterman would attack her like this. I can’t believe that Trumpism allows people to publicly behave like this. Michelle Obama says we “go high” in situations like this. I hope that we can drag some others to stop this nonsense as we win next month.
I know our Second Lady went out without her security detail. She had a false sense of security that she would not have a problem buying food at the local Aldi. But she has to be more careful. Credit to Aldi for acknowledging this issue and excluding the harasser from their stores.
I hope that, someday, we can be a better people.
