Summary

Two senior staffers, Charlie Hills and Tré Easton, are leaving Sen. John Fetterman’s office amid his shift toward a more Trump-friendly stance.

Their departures follow other high-profile resignations, including his chief of staff last year.

Fetterman has evolved from a Bernie Sanders supporter to a vocal pro-Israel Democrat and critic of his party’s anti-Trump approach.

He has backed some Trump policies and nominees but opposed others. Despite this shift, he remains a reliable Democratic vote.

    At this point calling him a pro-Israel Democrat is stupid. This sack of shit is a GOP dick sucker.

      In all fairness he was up against an actual celebrity. He did a 180 pretty quick. Hopefully PA fixes this mistake, as he is not liberal anymore.

    Didn’t this stuff start happening like right after he had that stroke? Or am I misremembering. If so that really tells some things about the Republican Party

    So just throwing this out there, a lot of these shit bag traitors require 24/7 assistance to stay alive. Instead of resigning, STAY ON THE JOB, note everything important, names addresses, numbers, private plane serials, etc. odds are, one of the assistants are getting his medication ready in the morning. That’s a lot of opportunity for a fatal error that could happen with no one at real fault

        I’m just referencing the time period when everyone loved him, but…

        This sure seems different.

        Denouncing Trump as a fascist to saying that Trump’s fascism is no different from Biden seems like at least a bit of a journey.
