'Can't believe I ever liked this dude.'

Summary

Sen. John Fetterman faced backlash from progressives after his first post on Truth Social calling the hush-money case against Trump “bullshit” and suggested pardons for both Trump and Hunter Biden.

Fetterman reiterated his stance from recent interviews, arguing such cases erode public trust in institutions.

The response has been divisive, with Trump supporters and progressives both criticizing him.

Fetterman’s broader shifts, including support for Israel and mocking climate activists, have alienated some Democratic supporters while gaining him favor among conservatives.

    Congrats to Fetterman on being the New Joe Manchin. He’ll never have to make another fundraising call again-- must feel good.

    I imagine he has a bright future as the Dem or republican frontrunner in a future presidential election.

        because Dems are just going to cut their losses and focus their money on more winnable races

        Fettermans got AIPAC backing. He’s in a heavily jewish district, which is why he talks so much about Israel. Dems wouldnt DARE to cut their losses with Fetterman, he’s a made man.
