BETHLEHEM, Pa. — For her Republican opponents, Pennsylvania Rep. Susan Wild’s personal Facebook account is the gift that keeps on giving.

Resurfaced screenshots show the Dem congresswoman cheered on the publication of then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s address during the federal government shutdown in January 2019.

Then a first term rep, Wild made two comments under Facebook user Paul Lichty’s post sharing McConnell’s home address in Washington, D.C., suggesting it be emblazoned on a billboard, presumably to direct protesters to McConnell’s home.

Wild wrote that somebody should put the address on a billboard.

“Someone should take out a billboard,” Wild replied to Lichty’s post.

“Indeed!” Lichty shot back.

The exchange continued with Wild implying that federal workers impacted by the shutdown should “visit” McConnell’s residence “in the suburbs of DC where many of those workers live.”

Lichty then replied that “a few (thousands) would show up for a chat” with McConnell.

Wild, who represents Pennsylvania’s competitive 7th congressional district, is no stranger to making disparaging statements.

Earlier this summer, Wild was forced to lock her Facebook account after being called out for a bizarre comment she made on the platform calling a veteran she encountered at a Memorial Day parade homophobic.

Previously, the House Ethics Committee ranking member questioned the intelligence of Carbon County voters by saying she needed to “school them” on their strong support for former President Donald Trump.

The rural area had just been added to Wild’s district at the time of her comments in 2022, thus reddening the district.

Wild doubled down on her comments last January, saying on a Zoom call that she was “dismayed” when Carbon County became part of her district because its residents had “drunk the Trump Kool-Aid.”

Wild is seeking a fourth term against GOP state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, who wasted no time in ripping the incumbent’s comments Monday.

“Despite her claims that she is ‘moderate and bipartisan’, Susan Wild has earned a reputation for making offensive statements about the people she is elected to represent,” Mackenzie said.

“Unfortunately, reckless and threatening comments like the ones in today’s story take her political rhetoric to a dangerous new level — one that has no place in the Lehigh Valley,” Mackenzie added, referring to the geographic region of his eastern Pennsylvania district.
