Fetterman — who is Pennsylvania's current lieutenant governor and the former mayor of Braddock, an eastern suburb of Pittsburgh — has been criticized for a 2013 incident in which he pulled a gun on a Black jogger. He reportedly followed the man, who he suspected of committing a crime, in a pickup truck with a shotgun and detained him until police arrived. The jogger was eventually found innocent and released.
"He was a white man with a gun chasing a Black man," Fawn Walker-Montgomery, a former city council member of a jurisdiction near Braddock, told NBC News in April. "I used to be on the council in McKeesport, and if I chased after a person with a gun, I would still be in jail. He’s showing he’s not aware of his white privilege."
Rev. Mark Kelly Tyler, a Democratic organizer in Philadelphia, added that anybody who thinks the incident won't have an impact on Black voters' decision is "living in fantasy land."
Michael Nutter, the last Black mayor of Philadelphia, told NBC News that Fetterman should "just ‘fess up" and apologize.
