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.

“If my humor was in poor taste I apologize because they’re offended by it,” Portogallo said.

Never ever, ever, ever, ever, apologize!!!

So you’re saying God is using coronavirus to kill thousands of perfectly innocent, decent people, like my son’s father-in-law, to punish a few perverts?

Sorry, no. It’s exactly that kind of reasoning that causes many people to reject Christ & Christianity.

Look at those two cucked men standing behind it, pretending that is a normal person. They should be embarrassed, but they are neutered as much as the pervert at the podium.

If you Google images of him as a male he isn’t that bad looking. As a woman just horrid.

The alphabet people aren’t the laughing sort. Is PA Health Secretary an elected or an appointed position? If appointed, who appointed him? In all of PA is there no one more qualified?

Oh please, that silly ass of a spectacle BEGS to be mocked. The sadness of that person is almost overridden the ludicrousness of “her”look.

I have no idea who God is punishing or why but the point here would be that God is punishing a nation not because perverts exist but rather because the Culture has abandoned Him to embrace and promote perversion and deviance.

Tiny Tim was making fun of Rachel Levine 40 years ago and didn’t know it.
