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?“

I believe the correct term is ‘trannypotamus’.

I think I read somewhere that Richard Levine had his “wedding tackle” cut off.

Wikipedia:

Levine is a native of Boston, Massachusetts.[3] She was previously married, and has 2 children. She made the decision to transition in 2011. Levine and her wife divorced in 2013, following her transition, but remain “good friends”. When she transitioned, she chose the name Rachel in honor of her mother,[failed verification] as her mother had planned to name her Rachel, had she been born female.[2]

Mr. Levine is a great voice for social distancing. This is just the kind of person you don’t want to get within 6 feet (or more) of.

“...members of the LGBTQ community aren’t laughing.” Well no shit, there is no humor section in the liberal library. Now ask 100 lesbians whether they find “Rachel” attractive...

LOL!

First time I saw "her" I thought "They must have hired that guy's sister".

Ugly men make ugly women when they play dress up.
