Democrats once hailed Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) as the party’s poster child: A plain-spoken, hoodie-wearing populist who appealed not just to those in his party but to independents and even some Republicans.
Lately, though, some Democrats say he’s appealing to Republicans and turning his back on his party with remarks defending Trump and attacking his party over their criticisms of the White House.
As the Pennsylvania senator increasingly clashes with progressives and breaks with his fellow Democrats on a string of issues, some in the party are comparing him to former Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), another Democrat who some in the party say boosted Republicans while hurting his side.
Can someone just kill this stroke ridden bastsrd already?

Pretty sure he has been doing this since the day he took office.
Can they stop putting D next to his name, he is clearing a republican
It’s telling that the defining event in his political transformation was a serious neurological injury. We’re all apparently one brain bleed away from right-wing authoritarianism. Also, nobody seems surprised that somebody diminished from their former selves will naturally move to the right. Its almost as if that worldview is more suited to people who aren’t accustomed to thinking.
I don’t like using labels like DINO and RINO, but if anyone deserved to be called a DINO, it’s Fetterman.
In a Wednesday appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, Fetterman [attempted to] cut into Democratic attacks on Trump’s remarks that he is not focused on the financial situations of Americans while negotiating with the Iranian government, arguing Trump’s comments were “clipped.”
Fuck the Hill for making me add that, moving on,
“He said something that got clipped … saying, ‘I’m not thinking about American people financially,’ but what he really was saying — he did say — is, ‘I’m really thinking that we can’t ever let Iran building a bomb,’” Fetterman told Hannity.
A) He really did say “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” He did not ever say “I’m really thinking that we can’t etc.” or any other more polished statement you wished he did say. B) If you’re really so concerned about putting Trump’s comments into full context, Trump said Iran’s ability to build a bomb was already “totally obliterated” last year. But you’re not, you’re not even cherry picking stuff, you’re just straight making shit up to make Trump look good because you’re a scumbag like that.
KICK HIM OUT
