The wife of Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman claimed “swimming in America is very racist” — as she likened her husband’s use of closed captioning to turning up the brightness on a smartphone.
“Historically, swimming in America is very racist, and usually when you look at drowning statistics, it usually affects children of color, because of lack of access,” Gisele Fetterman said on the iGen politics podcast on Thursday.
Gisele made the comments while discussing how she and her husband, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, had decided not to move into the state-owned mansion in Harrisburg but made the pool accessible to the public.
The couple live in a converted loft in Braddock, which Fetterman’s Republican challenger Dr. Mehmet Oz’s campaign has claimed he bought for $1.
“And while we did not want the mansion, that mansion came with a pool I wanted,” Gisele told Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi on the show.
“And the dream was to make this a public pool and turn it into the people’s pool and ensure that young people across Pennsylvania could learn how to swim and water safety and kind of work to right some of the wrongs,” she added.
Democrats can go to another country to live since it is THEY that are the RACISTS !!!!
i paid $60000 for my pool and now i have to feel guilty about using it. i think ill fill it in and put up a basketball court.
👎😬
Maybe 50 years ago minorities didn’t have access to pools, but I thought Jake made the Wicomico safe to swim in again.
As a former lifeguard trainer I think it’s a shame that people could die of drowning in a 1st world country. We teach all these things in school that people will never use, but it’s almost inevitable that everyone will end up in water at some point in their lives. It should be mandatory in all public schools.
And people will consider voting for this clown?
basketball, welfare and ebt cards are racist too
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION & NAACP ARE > RACIST < !!!!!! REMEMBER THAT !!!!!
Not sure about anyone else but I learned to swim in a pond. You don’t find too many of them in the city. I didn’t need lessons just an adult to take the time to teach me. There are certain things that you find in the city and certain things you find in the country. It doesn’t make it racist.
She’s as loopy as her husband without the benefit of a doctor’s to cover the crazy!
