Fetterman's wife: 'Historically, swimming in America is very racist'
2022-11-01
[TheBlaze] She claimed that when her husband was first sworn in as lieutenant governor in 2019, she did not want to move her family into the mansion designated for the commonwealth's second family but instead wanted to repurpose the mansion pool so that the public could use it.

"And while we did not want the mansion, that mansion came with a pool I wanted," Fetterman told podcast co-hosts Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi.

Per Wiki "Gisele Barreto Fetterman": Fetterman was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When she was seven years old, Fetterman came to the United States as an undocumented child immigrant with her mother and younger brother, taking up residence in a one-room apartment in New York City. They left Brazil due to violent crime in their community. In New York, the family lived in poverty, and furnished their apartment with furniture they found on the street. Fetterman said that her family often depended on food banks and thrift stores. Her mother, who had a PhD degree from a Brazilian university and had worked as a nutritionist and educator, took jobs cleaning hotels and houses, and was often denied pay due to her status as an undocumented immigrant.

Fetterman did not speak English when she arrived in the United States, and enrolled in an English as a second language program at her school in Queens. The family later moved to Newark, New Jersey. She studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Fetterman received her green card in 2004 and became a citizen of the United States in 2009.

#10  Roger L. Simon, in fine form:

“As attentive readers will have noticed, the word “democracy” is appealed to whenever it looks as though Democrats might lose.

One sign that this is about to happen is the promiscuous deployment of the phrase “our democracy.”

They really mean it. It’s not your democracy, peon.

If you voted for a Republican, you voted “against our democracy.”

As I have put it elsewhere, what “democracy” means to them is “rule by Democrats.”

It’s worth pausing to ponder the evolution of this novel meaning of “democracy.”

Originally, of course, “democracy” meant “rule by the demos,” the people.

But as Orwell showed in his novel “Animal Farm,” there’s a moral or political entropy at work in human affairs that, unchecked, regularly perverts “the people” into “some people.”

All animals are equal, you see, but some are more equal than others.

#8  She should then return to her native Brazil, where the warm waters of the Amazon are most egalitarian for swimming in.

#7  I suppose if Democrats didn't have the race card they'd have to concoct some other lie.
