Speaking to the Pennsylvanian delegation at the statehouse in Boston, Heinz Kerry delivered an impassioned plea against hate politics:

"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics."
"I remember a time when people in political parties in Pennsylvania talked to one another and actually got things done. We have to go back to those days when we can do things properly, for the people need it."
"My prayers for you, for me, for the country, for the world, are that we keep this at a high level, with dignity, with respect and with a great idealism and courage that took our forefathers to build this great nation."

According to multiple sources who attended the event, Heinz Kerry upon finishing the speech pushed her way through the Secret Service to get to Pittsburgh Tribune Review reporter, Colin McNickle. Upon getting to Mcnickle, Heinz Kerry asks, <font color=blue>'Are you from the Tribune Review'<font color=black> Mcnickle says, <font color=blue>'Yes, I am.' <font color=black>
At this point and in an irritated fashion Heinz Kerry says, <font color=blue>'Of course, understandable. You said something I didnt say. Now Shove it!'<font color=black>
Tape of the incident is being edited to air on Pittsburgh's WTAE-TV, and, according to a media source, ABC NEWS is set to run with it thereafter.
A witness of the incident said reporters were <font color=blue>"stunned"<font color=black> by Heinz Kerry's outburst, especially in light of the speech she had just given.
