Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) told a reporter that Mamdani’s nomination was “Christmas in July for the GOP.”
Fuck John Fetterman
“It seems like as soon as he went to Mar-a-Lago, things changed,” said Patty Lengel, who traveled from Lebanon Pa. to take part in a Harrisburg protest. “He went down to kiss the ring.”
Fetterman is the only Democratic Senator to travel to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump at his home, as Fetterman did last month. And by some reckonings, since that time Fetterman has been the most pro-Trump Democrat in the Senate.
He is, for example, the only Democrat voting in favor of several Trump cabinet appointments, including attorney general Pam Bondi, who falsely insisted that Trump had won Fetterman’s home state in 2020, and to this day refuses to say that Joe Biden fairly won the 2020 election. He was among a group of Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley anti-immigration bill — even though it didn’t contain protections for immigrants brought to the country as children, who he had pledged to protect. And Fetterman has said that Trump’s recent proposals to take over Greenland and to expel Palestinians from their homeland in Gaza — a proposal he called “provocative” — are foreign-policy ideas worth discussing.
