I just have a short diary tonight. As many of you know, I’ve been living in Los Angeles since 2007 but I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and graduated from Temple University. I was a Film & Media Arts Major and I knew after graduation I would either be going to New York or Los Angeles to work in the industry. Temple has a great internship program in Los Angeles and I’ve been there ever since. Democratic politicians from inside and outside the state come and visit for fundraising events. Tonight’s event featured the one and only, Lt. Governor John Fetterman (D. PA), who was invited to speak to all of us Pennsylvania transplants. It was a small event in Beverly Hills with drinks and a nice spread. His wife, Gisele, the Second Lady of Pennsylvania, was also there along with some of their friends. Both John and Gisele are terrific and took the time to speak with a lot of us and take photos.
Fetterman spoke to us all about fighting back against the Pennsylvania GOP’s Big Lie bull shit and their cult-like devotion to Donald Trump. He amused us with stories about busting Republicans for committing voter fraud including a story about a guy who tried to go in and vote twice with a disguise. Fetterman channeled his Homer Simpson impression to talk about this doofus. He emphasized his support for Build Back Better, voting rights, Roe v. Wade, immigration, eliminating the filibuster and reminding voters that he will never be a Joe Manchin in the Senate because to quote him, “I don’t think I’m all that important or special to try and fuck with President Biden or the party’s agenda.” He also acknowledged how California was way ahead of Pennsylvania in ending the war on drugs but also gave us a little shit for giving Pennsylvania Dr. Oz and how two of the other GOP candidates don’t even live in Pennsylvania. He talked about going to every county in Pennsylvania, even the deep red ones, to emphasize how purple the state is. He also mentioned he was campaigning in Pennsylvania yesterday in 17 degree temperature so I can’t blame him for wanting to come out here for a day for some warmer weather.
John and Gisele are exactly who they are and I cannot emphasize how important it is to help Fetterman win both his primary on May 17th and the general election. The Pennsylvania Democratic Party has a new initiative out to register 2 million voters:
