Pennsylvania State Sen. Camera Bartolotta said she always tries to be respectful online.
That is until “someone throws crap in my face, and I push back,” she told The Inquirer Wednesday. “That’s how I’ve always been.”
When Bartolotta (R., Washington) saw Libs of TikTok, a far-right social media account whose inflammatory posts have often resulted in real-life consequences, repost a xenophobic YouTube video about Haitian immigrants in Charleroi, a small Western Pennsylvania borough that Bartolotta represents, the GOP state senator fought back against the account that she follows and often retweets.
In a response on X, Bartolotta refuted the falsehoods in Libs of TikTok’s post, including the account’s unfounded estimates that 90% of the workforce in Charleroi is composed of Haitians and that Vice President Kamala Harris “imported 2,000 Haitians” to the town that are now “taking American jobs.” The account also said there is an “operation” in Charleroi where “Haitians are being bussed to and from food factories operated by Fourth Street Foods,” a food manufacturer.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Weird picture of being under an underpass, what is that supposed to mean?
She is probably a Liz Cheney fan with her stance and outfit.

Perhaps she could answer why the FedGov decided to dump total cultural and racial aliens in Charleroi instead of say Birmingham. Or better, why they couldn’t be delivered to a French speaking African country like Senegal or Cote d’Ivoire.
But nope, she has to do the knee jerk virtue signaling.

Charleroi’s GOP state senator is defending the Haitian hordes.
She needs professional help for her disturbing signs of “migrant worship.”
She’s under the overpass on her way to worship at the refugee shrine.

A town of 6000 before 2000 Haitians arrived.
What could go wrong?

She is not a Republican but a Democrat who calls herself a Repbublican. We have so many of those traitorous types in the Party. That’s why we can’t get anything done.

So… if you read through the propaganda.
The food factory IS using “international” workers that they bus to and from the factory specifically from the borough where Barlotta says the Haitian population there is being warmly welcomed….
Ergo - she’s had a large campaign contribution from the factory owner.

Most of these Rust Belt politicians are begging for immigrants from anywhere … because hardly anyone else wants to live there anymore.
The initial articles on this subject described Charleroi’s population “exploding” to about 4,500 … which is still far less than the 11,000+ who lived there a hundred years ago.

I remember when the Philadelphia Inquirer was a Republican leaning news paper. If the corporate media is going to be so left swing and corporate types are pushing DEI and open borders then it is time to raise their taxes. I used to think that raising the taxes of the rich was just socialism. Now I think the best way to fight socialism is by raising their taxes since the upper classes in this country(if we take them seriously) are the main proponents of socialism.

Really? From her stance and outfit?
Good 'frigging grief.

The Inquirer has never been a Republican-leaning newspaper in my lifetime. They’ve always been a tool of Left-wing propaganda.

“When Bartolotta (R., Washington) saw Libs of TikTok, a far-right social media account”
Libs of TikTok merely reposts videos, created by libs, and posts them on her site with ZERO commentary. How is that far right? If anything it would seem to be far left?
