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.

Such mockery is well-deserved. And corrupt politicians need to feel it, daily.

If he thought that, then he's dead wrong. Trust me, I would look better as a woman and I'm a manly looking guy with broad shoulders, an obvious Adam's apple, tall and a "package" which requires baggy pants to fully conceal, LOL!

The dipshit reporter is outdoors, on camera— no one else nearby— and wearing a mask.
These people are idiots and must be mocked. It is essential to the future of this country.

So the LGBTQ folks don’t like it that the restaurant owner dresses in drag? I’m confused.

God help us all.
What have we come to, when we elect an obviously mentally ill person as Secretary of Health?

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. Portogallo seems like my kind of guy. The fat, ugly trans freak couldn't care less whether Portogallo and hundreds of thousands of other people lose their businesses and livelihoods. This is what happens when mental cases (aka Democrats) assume positions of power.
