At 2 a.m., when his family was inside, the residence of Governor Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania was burnt down on Passover.
PITTSBURGH Post-Gazette reported “A incendiary set fire to the residence of the Governor of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg last night while Governor Josh Shapiro and his family slept inside, the state police announced on Sunday.”
Gov. Shapiro posted on X:
Last night, around 2 am, my family and I woke up with a fringe at the Pennsylvania police door after a incendiary fire burnt down the governor’s residence in Harrisburg.
The Bureau of Harrisburg was on the scene and while they worked to turn off the fire, we were evacuated from the residence safely by the Pennsylvania state police and assisted by the Capitol police. Thank God, no one was injured and the fire died.
Every day, we hold on to the police and the first speakers who run towards a danger to protect our communities. Last night, they did it for our family – and Lori and I are forever grateful to have kept us safe.
Pastatepolice is on the scene at the top of this investigation and will hold the public to the public.
Shapiro is Jewish, and that does not seem to be a coincidence that someone tried to burn the governor’s manor with the governor and his family inside.
This seems to be the kind of potential hatred crime against a Jewish family who deserves an answer from a president and an administration who claim to worry so much about anti -Semitism and domestic terrorism, but instead, the president has not said anything.
Something tells me that the White House’s response would be different if the governor was republican or Tesla.
