Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro posted on X, calling for real reform to address corruption and excesses in the White House. According to the post, this includes reforming the Court, passing a new Voting Rights Act, and advancing anti-corruption and anti-gerrymandering legislation in Congress. The message from the Pennsylvania governor has prompted numerous reactions online.
In the video, Josh Shapiro speaks during an appearance on the program MS NOW and argues that the country needs to consider additional amendments to the Constitution. He notes that Pennsylvania has held five constitutional conventions and points out that the founders “couldn’t write down every rule” or “forecast every problem” when they passed the original document.
Shapiro adds that the Constitution “has been updated 27 times since then” and calls for keeping “everything on the table” while being bold in addressing what he describes as presidential excesses that even critics never imagined a chief executive engaging in, because past presidents, even those people disagreed with, were expected to be grounded in a love for the country and “we the people.”
He says the current situation calls for real reforms to the courts and openness to reforms of the Constitution itself, as well as congressional action on anti-corruption measures, anti-gerrymandering legislation, and a new voting rights law.
The post text repeats the same statements made in the video. The clip provides no visuals or details of specific incidents of corruption or excesses in the White House, nor does it show any legislative proposals or court-related actions.
Commenters Respond to Shapiro’s Push for Institutional Reforms
Some users directly questioned the claims about corruption and voting rights. One commenter wrote, “What corruption? What voting rights are not there? Reforming the courts we can agree on, but for different reasons. The Courts are politically biased and in the liberals’ favor. They need to be 100% neither. In a nutshell, you are just talkin out of your *expletive*. You need to be removed from office in a set of cuffs.”
Others focused on Pennsylvania-specific issues and urged the governor to address problems at home. Comments included, “Reform in PA first, wipe out the 9 years of misery under Dems” and “Pennsylvania is a mess, out of control utility bills, high taxes, poor roads, and bridges, and all Shapiro thinks about is his President Trump. We can’t afford four more years of Josh Shapiro in any office.”
Several responses interpreted the proposals as ideological or partisan. One user stated, “Reforming the Court???? You are a radical left-winger! You’re literally not even trying to hide your true colors. You no longer represent the values of the Citizens of the Commonwealth.”
Another added, “Josh Shapiro has gone too far. His mean, nasty attacks questioning our President’s love of country and the American people ring staged and phony. Enough.”
Shapiro’s post adds another voice to the broader national debate over institutional reforms and checks on executive power. The exchange highlights divisions that are likely to continue shaping political discussion in the months ahead.
