At 2am while his family was inside, Pennsylvania’s home was set on fire by Passover.
Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported, “Arsonists set fire to the Pennsylvania governor’s residence in Harrisburg last night as Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family were sleeping inside last night,” state police said Sunday. ”
Shapiro Gov. Shapiro posted on X:
At about 2am last night, my family and I woke up to the door from Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist fired a shot at the governor’s residence in Harrisburg.
While the Harrisburg Fire Department was on the scene and they worked to put out the fire, we were safely evacuated from the residence by the Pennsylvania Police and supported by Capitol Police. Thank God, no one was injured, so the fire went out.
Every day we stand up to law enforcement and first responders who run towards danger to protect our community. Last night they did that for our family – and Lori and I will forever thank them for keeping us safe.

Shapiro is Jewish and it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that he and his family tried to burn the governor’s mansion.
This seems like a potential hate crime against a Jewish family. This deserves a response from the president and the administration who claim to be very concerned about anti-Semitism and domestic terrorism, but instead the president has nothing to say.
It tells us that if the governor is a Republican or Tesla, the White House responds differently.
