What Kind of Politician Is John Fetterman?

Many people thought that Democrat voters were crazy to send John Fetterman to Washington DC to represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate. Fetterman was not physically or mentally capable of serving as a U.S. Senator when he was elected. He was suffering from brain damage and was not capable of carrying on a conversation. 

Now it is possible that Fetterman is the only Democrat senator that is not crazy, and his party is openly calling for his resignation because he criticized the Democrat’s refusal to reopen the government. According to Lorenzo Prieto in an article published at The Daily Signal, Fetterman said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Democrats “really need to own the shutdown.” 

“Fundamentally, I’m deeply distressing that 42 million Americans are going to lose their SNAP benefits. And now that’s one of the big reasons why I refuse to shut our government down,” Fetterman said.

Fetterman acknowledged that Democrats want to address the importance of the Obamacare tax credits, but called their current “tactic wrong,” as it will “put 42 million Americans in the kinds of food insecurity.”

“So, it’s not something I support of, and I don’t want to be involved,” Fetterman added. “We can find a way forward. We need to find a way forward and we really can achieve these kinds of tax credits, and this is something I support, but it’s the wrong tactic. It was wrong when the Republicans did it. It’s wrong now that we seem to be driving it.” …

Fetterman has also recently called out the hypocrisy of his own party and distanced himself from colleagues who openly refer to Republican lawmakers as Nazis.

“I am not just representing Democrats. I’m representing 13 million Pennsylvanians, and I refuse to call members of the other team as fascists or Nazis, or those other kinds of thing. Because if you do, then that implies that the people that vote for them must be the same. And that’s absolutely not true,” Fetterman said last Wednesday on Fox News.

“I know and love many of people that voted for the president, and they’re not fascists. They’re not Nazis. They’re not here to destroy our democracy. [They] have different values and different views on what they think is the American way of life. And that’s why I refuse to engage in those things.”
