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, Theres that n-word that Fetterman married. You dont belong here. No one wants you here. You dont 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.

(28,344 posts)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.
