Joanne Rogers, 92, is the wife of the late Fred Rogers, host of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, a popular children's show which aired for 31 seasons on TV
While her husband was famously apolitical throughout his career, Joanne Rogers felt compelled to speak out about President Trump
She slammed the president as a 'horrible person' and called him 'pathologically ill' on same day he held a rally in her late husband's hometown near Pittsburgh
Rogers said Trump's Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, reminded her of her late husband because of his kindness
She said Biden's outreach to a young boy with a stuttering problem is similar to her late husband's relationship with a quadriplegic who appeared on his show.
