Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA) caucuses with the Democratic Party. He is one of three independent Senate members in the 119th Session. He was elected as a Democrat.
At one time, the progressives were excited that he ran for the U.S. Senate. I was strongly against it. He was the tattooed, hoodie wearing, heavily cussing everyman. He won the Democratic primary against preferred challenger Connor Lamb.
Then president Donald J. Trump endorsed Mehmet Oz, a reality television and author.1
Oz was a flawed candidate and Republicans believed Trump’s chef kiss doomed him.
Fetterman was flawed too. He ended up having a mild stroke before the primary. He was uninsured despite being then a state lieutenant governor. He was literally broke.
Giselle and their sons feared he may never recover.
Fetterman did recover and managed to get back in his feet.
Fetterman ended up becoming the senator. Since 2023, Fetterman drifted into the room where Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin smoked. He puffed on that cigar and said "Damn, I like this shit."
Manchin and Sinema introduced Fetterman to their AIPAC handler. He told him that he can offer him millions in fundraising, campaign coffers and everything he wanted.
All he had to do is basically support the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.
Now all this had made Fetterman a walking talking bigot.
I guess all that hate does a number on that heart.
Had they listened to Black women, we wouldn't be stuck with this fool.
The controversial senator sweating. His support for Israel, his treatment of his wife and his big mouth gets him in trouble.
His former aides are telling.
Israel has a dossier on members of Congress. If they follow the line, they will be rewarded. If they step out of line, Israel will make their lives miserable.
Fettterman exposed as a total hack. Like we didn’t know that already.

Fetterman's office said the Pennsylvania senator is under "routine observation" in a Pittsburgh hospital after he fell during an early morning walk Thursday near his home in Braddock, Pennsylvania.
"It was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries," a statement from his office said.
"If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!" Fetterman said, according to the statement.
Fetterman opted to stay in the hospital so doctors can "fine-tune his medication regimen," the statement said.
Ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm, according to the American Heart Association. It can be extremely dangerous and lead to sudden cardiac death. Without treatment, it can be fatal within minutes.
Typically, medical professionals do not use the term “ventricular fibrillation flare-up” as the condition is a life-threatening one. Ventricular fibrillation typically requires shock therapy -- either through an automated external defibrillator or a previously implanted defibrillation device in the chest.
Fetterman suffered a stroke in May 2022 during the Democratic primary for the state's open Senate seat. Despite his condition limiting his campaigning, he won the Democratic nomination and later defeated Dr. Mehmet Oz, now President Donald Trump's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator, in the general election.
"I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long," Fetterman said in a statement at the time.
The following February, Fetterman was hospitalized for several days of observation after feeling lightheaded, though his aides said testing ruled out seizures or another stroke.
Weeks later, Fetterman checked himself into a Washington hospital for treatment of depression.
"While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks," Adam Jentleson, his chief of staff, said at the time.
