You call our First Lady trash. You seem very triggered by me pushing back on your garbage. You also say you’ve ’done your research’ on me but clearly you haven’t bothered. The first roof over my head was a floating cabin in Alaska owned by the logging co my lumberjack dad worked for. He was 20, my mom was 18 and my sister was 17 months old when I was born. We moved to Las Vegas within months. My dad left us two years later and my mom worked 3 jobs. As a hotel maid, waitress and switchboard operator. She collected coke bottles on the side of the desert highway to redeem for grocery money. I know what poor feels like. Do you? I made more than my first husband when we met in 1984 and gave up everything I knew to move to SWPA. We saved every penny for years and worked hard. You think he was rich? And they took away a 39 year pension from Bill DeWeese… 36 years from the legislature and 3 from the Marine Corps he had put with it. You think he was rich? Some research you did Montco Karen. I survived a bipolar mother and very abusive childhood and I don’t tolerate bullies. Nothing scares me, ask anyone. You are barking up the wrong tree.

Yesterday, my friend took this pic of the embarrassing PA exhibit at the America 250 State Fair. This is what Shapiro thinks of us. He was too busy raising campaign $ for himself to get sponsors for PA to shine at the state fair. His petty political posturing was more important than showcasing the birthplace of independence at the nation’s 250 celebration. But @SenMcCormickPA & @SenFettermanPA stepped up to save the day! Thank you, my friends, for putting politics aside and working for the people. 🇺🇸
Proud to partner with @SenFettermanPA, @SecRollins and a host of Pennsylvania organizations to showcase the very best of PA at the Great American State Fair 🇺🇸

The out of state money your are talking about - Defeat Communism- for one, are funneling money into my OPPONENT’S campaign and paying outsiders to go door to door and creating mailers. CAP and Pace O Matic are spending millions to try to flip the PA senate BLUE. They are using financially compromised candidates who will do anything for $$ to do so.
