Sen. John Fetterman’s latest high-profile vote backing Donald Trump angered Democrats, who lambasted him as “shameful” and a “traitor.”

On Wednesday, Fetterman again voted to block another war powers resolution to constrain Trump’s authority to wage war on Iran without congressional approval.

It was the seventh time Democrats have attempted to rein in Trump’s power.

This time, however, Fetterman was the deciding vote after three Republican senators — Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Rand Paul — supported it.

    The idea that they need to have party lines is dumb on both sides. Open this system up, and allow for the voters to hold the rep accountable for misleading them, this whole political speech is ok to be just full on lies when you represent those people it outrageous. Americans should demand better.
