'Hatred is taught': Pennsylvania's second lady films a woman's racist attack at the grocery store

While she waited in line, she said, a woman recognized her as the wife of Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) and began yelling insults at her, including racist slurs.

“She said, ‘There’s that n-word that Fetterman married. You don’t belong here. No one wants you here. You don’t belong here,’ ” Fetterman, who was born in Brazil, said in an interview with The Washington Post.

Upset and shaken, Fetterman managed to film the woman accosting her again outside her car. She posted a video of the abuse to Twitter Sunday night, along with a description of what happened.

Fetterman, 38, said she has been threatened and insulted before, but never in person. “The fact that she was so comfortable and bold to just do it to my face with an audience … that was really scary,” Fetterman said.

racist heckler isn't exactly a wasp so who is she to call anyone the n-word? In fact, she looks like she could be from Brazil herself.

Giselle Fetterman is a wonderful woman who has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of the people of Braddock where her husband had served as mayor.

I am truly offended at what was done to Giselle Fetterman.

This shit has to end.

In other words, she will likely be a particularly expensive drain on the American social and healthcare system for decades while contributing almost nothing of any value whatsoever.

This "real American" woman is likely upset because immigrants and brown people "takin' are money" are allowed to use the same bathrooms and water fountains as someone like herself.
