A suspected arsonist on Sunday broke into the residence of Pennsylvania Governor, Josh Shapiro, in the United States and set it on fire.

The fire had forced the governor and his family to flee, according to reports sourced by Persecondnews.

Former President of the United States, Joe Biden, has condemned the attack.

The attack, which has been condemned by various leaders, was the latest in a string of partisan political attacks in the United States.

The governor, while condemning the incident on Monday, said “this kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society”, stating that he doesn’t “give a damn if it’s coming from one particular side or the other.”

Reacting, Joe Biden, in a post on his official Facebook page, said he and his wife, Jill Tracy Biden, are “disgusted by the attack on the Shapiro family and their home during the first night of Passover.”

He, however, said that they are relieved that the governor and his family “are safe and grateful to the first responders.”

“There is no place for this type of evil in America, and as I told the Governor yesterday, we must stand united against hatred and violence,” Biden posted.
