Gisele Barreto Fetterman, who is married to Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, told CNN the incident happened Sunday evening. In a two-second video Fetterman posted on her Twitter account, a White woman is seen lowering her mask and saying, "You're a n****r" through Fetterman's open car window and then walking away. Fetterman was born in Brazil.

Both Fetterman and the state's governor pointed to the incident as an example of the increasing divisions in the US, particularly as the country continue to grapple with racism and xenophobia after a summer of escalated tensions regarding the deaths of Black Americans in the US.

CNN has not identified the woman in the video, but Fetterman told CNN that she had run into the store to pick up some golden kiwis when the woman started harassing her while she was waiting in line to pay.

"A woman walks past me and stops and looks at me, and then says, 'Ugh, there's that n-word that Fetterman married. And, she said you don't belong here, and she called me a thief, and uttered some other ramblings. And, (she) kept walking, went to the other aisle, came back, said a few more things," Fetterman said.

[Barbara2423]

4. Karen is everywhere.

[whistler162]

10. So the woman's name is Karen?

6. Somebody is about to find out the power of being discovered by the internet.

She may have felt bold and brazen when she was harassing the woman but just wait. She hasn’t even begun to know half the fun she has brought on herself.

7. What do you mean...?

She'll probably be guest of honor at the next Trump rally there. "Hey, at least she wasn't 'politically correct'!"

8. The internet does have it's own, how shall we say, brand of justice.

What do you want to bet she will soon forthcoming with some lame non-apology.

In large quantities.

11. What the heck! You can't even buy golden kiwis safely? Hope Gisele will be able to identity her &

press charges so that this white hateful nut doesn't continue her bullying racism with others...

14. She'll be outed this morning if not already. Have fun lady............

15. surviving in society after going viral for being a racist

will be extremely oppressive for anybody no matter how much money or friends they have.

[malthaussen]

18. I would never venture to offend John Fetterman...

... that is one tough dude. But probably too polite to hit a woman.
