(Jewish Group) Maryland delegate says driver yelled 'Heil Hitler' at her while campaigning
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)Maryland Del. Shelly Hettleman said a man yelled “Heil Hitler!” at her from his car while she was campaigning in Baltimore County on Monday.
Hettleman, a Democrat from Baltimore County, said the incident happened about 7:30 a.m. across from Green Spring Station shopping center. A man stopped his car about five feet away from her, stuck his head out the window and shouted “Heil Hitler! You don't represent us!” along with several expletives, she said.
“He screamed with an anger that was so palpable on a scale of 0 to 100, he started with 100,” she said.
Hettleman, who is Jewish, stood stunned with her husband, Jeff Hettleman, and campaign manager Matt Peterson.
Peterson, 24, called it “surreal” and the first time he had experienced anti-Semitism first-hand as a Jewish person growing up in Baltimore County.
