Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro addressed reporters following an arson attack on the governor's mansion, denouncing political and religious violence. While the motive remains undetermined, Shapiro highlighted the prevalence of such violence in society and its toll on marginalized communities, particularly regarding anti-Semitism linked to his Jewish identity. He reaffirmed his commitment to celebrate his faith openly, asserting that the attack should not deter him or Pennsylvania residents from their beliefs. Shapiro called for the cessation of violence, regardless of its source or target, emphasizing unity and resilience against intimidation.
This type of violence is not okay. This kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society. It is not okay and it has to stop.
If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community... hear me on this: We celebrated our faith last night proudly.
