"Fetterman's getting a lot of complaints for avoiding events"

"For Black community leaders, Fetterman's absence from a public forum meant they didn’t get to ask about a 2013 incident in which he held a Black jogger at gunpoint."
Rev. Waller, the Enon Tabernacle pastor, said “The ones that wanted to be there were there,” he said. “My father used to tell me 80 percent of ‘can’t do’ is ‘don’t want to.’”

Rev. Mark Tyler of Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church said he personally appealed to Mr. Fetterman’s campaign to reconsider attending the clergy event, adding that the 2013 incident was something several people wanted to hear about.
“You can’t win Pennsylvania as a Democrat without significant turnout from Black people in Pennsylvania,”

Mr. Fetterman’s campaign also canceled on a December forum organized by the group Indivisible Narberth and Beyond, which said his campaign hasn’t responded to requests to reschedule. “We’ve reached out several times and it does not appear he’s available,” said Stacey Vernallis, a co-lead of Progress PA.
