Schumer May Boot Him From the Party Over This
In a candid discussion with entrepreneur, businessman, and angel investor David Friedberg on the All-In Podcast, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) provided a frank critique of the leadership within his own party, or rather, the absence of it. Fetterman isn’t one to shy away from supporting policies that go against the grain of his party and its leaders. Notably, he stands by Israel, voted in favor of the Laken Riley Act, backs Operation Epic Fury, and even goes so far as to assert that he doesn’t see President Donald Trump as Hitler.
What really chaps his you-know-what is the disconnect between past Democratic positions and rhetoric versus current responses. “What’s strange to me [is] that every single Democrat that’s run for president, uh, and anyone that I know in Congress says we must never allow [Iran] to acquire a nuclear bomb,” he noted. “When that happens, why not celebrate that or acknowledge that?”

Rather, Fetterman says the responses from nearly everyone else in his party are to automatically oppose whatever Trump is for.
“I have only witnessed just criticism and these kinds of these kinds of attack[s],” he said, adding that political tribalism is overriding common sense. “Yeah, you don’t have to agree on every single thing, but when a good thing happens, just because it comes from a, uh, the different party, um, that, that tells me that you’re choosing the demand of the, the base or the party over country or what, what’s really a — I think appropriate in that circumstances.”

Although Fetterman’s evaluation of his own party isn’t particularly surprising to me, it carries significant weight when a Democrat openly acknowledges what we’ve been pointing out for years.
