BRADDOCK, Pa. — A local restaurant owner appeared to be mocking the person who is leading the state’s fight against coronavirus on social media.
Robert Portogallo is the owner of Peppers N’at in Braddock.
It's super popular in our region, but Portagallo is coming under fire for recent Facebook comments that he posted on his personal page -- comments that some say are transphobic.
In one of the Facebook posts, Portogallo is wearing a wig, glasses and pearls, appearing to mimic the look of Pennsylvania Secretary of Health, Dr. Rachel Levine, who is a transgender woman.
Another post shows Portogallo appearing to impersonate Levine holding a news conference around rolls of toilet paper with the caption “Now we know who hoarded all the toilet paper.”
While Portogallo said his intent was to be funny, members of the LGBTQ community aren’t laughing.

What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is THAT?
Your “Health Secretary” is mentally ill.
Get him one of those pilgrim hats and a comb, and he could be the subject of one of those Dutch Master paintings.
Pennsylvania Secretary of Health, Dr. Rachel Levine, who is a transgender woman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No he is not, he is a man pretending to be a woman.
Celebrate Perversity!
I’d lick a truck stop toilet seat before I’d take medical advise from that.
Which is funny because he looks like that is exactly what he’d advise you to do.
This woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and thought “I would look better as a woman”?
I need eye bleach.
One of the history channels uses one of these freakazoids as an historical expert.
I have to change the channel.
There is no such thing as transgender
Welcome to the freak show that is PA state government. Only to be surpassed by the city governments in Philly and da Burgh.
So Pennsylvania is allowing someone who can’t accept the basic physical reality of its sex make public health decisions in the physical reality of the state.
Way to go Pennsylvania!
I see no way that “thing” has any credibility in the real world ... looks like a left over prop from a low budget horror movie.
She sure looks like someone I’d take health advice from. /s
I just watched this “thing” today on TV at a client’s house. A “Rachel” he’s NOT.
That is funny, because I said the same thing out loud: “WTF is that!” Then I read your post...
Doesn’t sound like he is making any derogatory marks about Dr Levine, who I have little regard for. Dr Levine clearly talks too much. The image of the TP behind the good doctor is funny, whether it would be Trump or Pelosi or Tom (I’m so important, I am saving lives) Wolf.
Lighten Up, Francis.....or Francine.
