WHICH ONE OF THE SIX SCHOOL BOMBING STRIKES IN IRAN, FETTERMAN? WHICH FUCKING ONE DOESN'T DESERVE INVESTIGATION?
His appearance corresponds with his moral and intellectual levels. He would be a great villain in some comedy. LMAO.
Can the Democrats sanction and eject this senator? He seems to be a Trumper in disguise.
~~in disguise~~
No, he's just an honest Democrat.
This man is among the worst.
When it comes to Fetterman, I wonder how many people get brain damage and suddenly become more progressive instead of regressive?
I know some people say this is who they suspect he always was, but....
He had a helluva PR campaign to reform his image. I believed it at first until i finally found a video of someone giving a rundown of his background and his actions began making a lot more sense. Suffice to say i've found him to be an extreme disappointment but because i wasn't in his district and therefore voting for him I never dug into his history or background.
The headline is misquoting him, the full quote is:
“Well, because we all agree that it’s a tragedy having the school hit, and we all agree now for an investigation,” Fetterman said. “What I don’t agree with the rest of my colleagues in the House is that it’s a war of choice, or it’s dumb, or all the things my colleagues have described, you know, this operation. I think it’s a good thing, and I support that.”
Still glaringly stupid, but the headline makes it seem like he's in denial it happened. He didn't say the words "leftist" or "craze"
Appreciate this.
Trump's political supporters say and do enough batshit, immoral things that we don't need to be lying just to make our points.
He did say the word "leftist". He doesn't say crazed, but he does say:
"The Leftist media seem more angry and talking about the deaths of these dead school girls than they were about Iran killing tens of thousands of their own young people a couple of weeks ago"
The clip is here: https://x.com/Acyn/status/2031906677365358825
All I did was search the rest of the article for the term "leftist" notice it was used, then goto the link the New Republic provided. The question the interviewer is posing is why did all the Senate Democrats signed a letter condemning the US action in Iran except for John Fetterman.
"We only murdered a little over a hundred school-children in this one attack when their regime murdered over 10,000. I think it’s a good thing, and I support that.”
bad vibes to John Fetterman but also bad vibes to the journalist who misquoted the title
What game are they trying to play here 🤔?
New Republic is definitely left leaning but they are typically factual (citation). This is not their typical fare.

They don't want to give the full quote where he does use the term "leftist" (but not craze) - PROBABLY because they don't want to platform Fetterman's idea that the media should be doing criticism of other countries actions as much as the American governments actions.
...a point that doesn't really make sense, because the fourth estate in democractic countries are supposed to cover criticism of their own governments more than others.
This is 100% a click-bait post.
Here's the full interview:

Skip the comments, though, unless you enjoy reading bots and spam.
Fetterman gets off to dead kids.
I heard he's in the Epstein Files. Release them if you want to try and change my mind.
Motherfucker should have just been a Trumper. He's as stupid as everyone else in the administration and would fit right in.
Looking back, it's like what the fuck, it was this guy or Dr Oz? Like did Pennsylvania even actually have a choice?
He was a lot less insufferable before the stroke.
Brain injuries absolutely DO change people.
Unfortunately he wasn't. He was a dick before the stroke he just had an incredible campaign/PR team that managed to successfully spin him as a progressive. I learned about him summarized in this video
23 minutes in i get Ahmaud Arbery vibes when he pulled a gun on a complete stranger.
There's a fan theory about the show King of the Hill.
I think it was season 2 that Peggy Hill went sky diving. The parachute doesn't open, and she seeminly falls to her death. Except then you find out that she survived, and is now in a full body cast.
Fans noticed that before those events she wasn't very aggressive, or stuborn, or stupid. But after the fall, those are the traits that would define her character going forward.
The theory is, the brain damage from the fall changed her. And thats a good in show way of saying "the writers hadn't found her personality yet".
They blame the stroke he had just before the 2024 primary for his personality change, but there were clues that this was really him all along. Another excuse I've seen which I find slightly more believable (but only because the groundwork for it was already there) is that he became highly dependent upon social media - and thereby more radicalized - after his stroke prevented him from communicating normally.
His "brain injury" was indeed caused by a stroke. It was the stroke of a pen, signing off on that big, fat check that someone gave him in exchange for his vote.
Shame that stroke didn’t finish the job
Looking like Mike Myers in a cross between Dr. Evil and Fat Bastard there
Lol 🤣😅🤣🤣
fuck this guy
Why does the headline claim he said something that he didn't in fact say?
Yeah what he actually said is worse
I have come to the conclusion, after this being the 3rd thing I've seen about the man within the last 30 minutes, that Fetterman is a piece of shit.
Just a piece? Not a hunk or a load? Or a pile?
I never thought I’d hate a senator more than Manchin.
Sinema giving side-eye
Had a friend get a bottle cracked across his head, then robbed. Suffered brain damage but survived.
He was a totally different person after. Left his wife and kids he loved for asian femboys to marry. Started substance abuse and total lost all his drive. Dude was highly respected in his field, graduated from Michigan and made damn good money.
All erased after the injury. So I can believe Fettermen changing his whole mindset after the damage. Can't wait till he is out of government
He was this person before.
This argues that a number of Democrats are being coerced by Netanyahu's "Israel"'s "kompromat" intel.

I think it's spot-on.

I think Maher is just a tech Zionist POS tbh.
Let’s prove it is a leftist craze by investigating it. /s
Fuck off fetid man, go be useless on a podcast with rogen or something.
What a fuckin 180 this douche canoe did. Must have been that cameo in the Christian bale movie.
I choose to blame the stroke.
Actual, factual brain damage is no joke, and there was a reason he won the election he was in. He was genuinely not insane/traitorous before his stroke.
The more cynical option is that he was always like this and merely wanted to screw over the leftists of Pennsylvania by running under a D ticket, but frankly I think brain damage from stroke leading to sudden onset fascist sympathies is both more likely (brain damage can have really fucking weird effects) and way funnier in a certain context
I've seen comments claiming to be from his local area saying he was always a bit like this. I don't think he ran a particularly leftist campaign, though, he just looked leftist compared to Dr. Oz.
I don't think Fetterman was a full bait and switch like that snake Kyrsten Sinema.
Pure accident that he changed to a Israel flag waving douche after getting his golden pager after a hospital visit.
This is an extremely poignant comment and it's too bad trying to upvoter it gives me a 500 error.
John WHO?
