The officeās āmajor staff turnover,ā as one team Fetterman veteran put it, comes amid a tough hiring environment for Democratic staffers in Washington.
āI donāt find this as a surprise,ā said the former Fetterman campaign staffer, who requested anonymity to protect their livelihood. āI think the staff is probably frustrated that working in the Fetterman office means youāre just working on Israel all the time.ā
Since the October 7 attack, Fettermanās office has ignored most of the issues he campaigned on, instead turning almost all his focus toward the IsraelāPalestine conflict, according to people familiar with his office. At the same time, Fetterman has added a number of Republican donors to his roster, The Intercept reported.
Since Trump took office last month, Fetterman has become a sometime Republican ally. He was one of 12 Democrats in the Senate to support the GOPās draconian new immigration law. At times, Fetterman has been Trumpās sole ally across the aisle. He was the only Democrat to vote to confirm Pam Bondi, Trumpās nominee for attorney general who helped spread the lie that Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
Fetterman needs his brain examined. Literally. And recalled. Heās not the person PA voted for.
Yup. I voted for this guy and am so beyond disappointed.
This reads like an Onion headline.
His phone: Iāll come back okay? Iām going to the bathroom.
Maybe
Youāve heard and known the single-issue voter. Now introducing the single-issue senator.
Now just make him a single term senator.
Dudes downfall is tragic. Hero to villain speed run, and it could potentially be blamed on his stroke, although I didnāt follow him closely enough in the beginning to see if there were signs
Nathan Robinson from Current Affairs had Fetterman pegged from the start. I remember people gave Robinson a lot of shit at the time sounding the warning bell early, but he has been thoroughly vindicated in my opinion.
I would like to believe in John Fetterman. But he needs to take his political cues from Bernie Sanders, who obviously cares about using the power of elected office to try to change lives. I am not convinced from Fettermanās current campaign that he cares enough about his substantive agenda. If he does, heās allowing himself to become distracted and bogged down in immature mudslinging. He should stop.
Iām from Pittsburgh and fr fuck this guy. His stance on Israel has been consistent, it just took major events for him to double down. He has done some real questionable shit in the past, like chase down a black jogger with a shotgun then cite āanxietyā for the reason.
The āissuesā heās ignoring that he campaigned on were like āepic hoody man legalizes weedā. It just sucks our choices were between him and fucking dr. Oz
LOL
It wasnāt his stroke. He just did what Democrats always do, say really fun, progressive things during a campaign, and then rule as conservatives once theyāre in office.
