The Republic Brief ^ | 7/1/24 | Alisha Rodriguez

Senator John Fetterman (D‑PA) diverged from his party recently by acknowledging that the breakdown of the southern border is really a “crisis.”

“There’s a crisis at the border,” Fetterman told reporters on Friday. “And I don’t know how anybody could pretend that there isn’t.”

Fetterman has often voiced his disapproval of his party’s stance on the border issue during the past few weeks.

“I’m not a progressive,” Fetterman told NBC News. “I just think I’m a Democrat that is very committed to choice and other things. But with Israel, I’m going to be on the right side of that. And immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well.”

Amidst a surge in illegal alien crossings into the United States, House Republicans have remained steadfast in their insistence for enhanced border security, as the possibility of a government shutdown approaches. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) recently visited the southern border with a small group of his colleagues to assess the situation following a record-breaking 3.2 million interactions with illegal aliens in the fiscal year 2023.

He's rebooted since his crash, and it's even more entertaining.

The stroke must have damaged his brain’s lying center.

IT men are working intensively to repair his posterior fabrication center, but his frontal lobe keeps interfering.

Glad he’s wised up. All the Dems need to have strokes....at least the ones that aren’t entirely brain dead yet.

This guy is an enigma. It’s possible he identifies as an old school democrat, but he’s a rat all the same.

His own wife was an illegal alien! Amazing. Reminds me of that woman who had a stroke and started speaking foreign languages.

Fetterman might be a lot smarter than he looks. In fact, the stroke might have been a ruse to throw those on the radical Left off his trail.

And he might have (must have?) benefactors who have helped him on his way but remain out of sight.

I'll take it. JFK would be appalled at what's happening to our nation.

This makes him more of a conservative than Cheney, Kinzinger and a host of others

Nope. Fetterman just wants his union constituents in what's left of coal and steel country to think he's protecting Pennsylvania jobs from crimmigrants before he totally destroys their industries on the altar of Gaia.

Well, his parents are supposedly conservative Republicans. Is some of their influence creeping back in?

Maybe Fetterman is gone and his body-double is a conservative. Wouldn’t that be something!

It’s a miracle. He actually makes sense when he talks recently.

Fetterman should make a stand at the William Penn house that is being torn down.

They’d call Hubert Humphrey a MAGA extremist.

JFK by today’s standards would be considered a raging hard right Republican.

Biden says it’s a crisis too but blames republicans . Every politician for decades have said the southern border is a mess but none of them really wanted to do anything . Trump was the first one to really try and his own party threw a hissy fit
This attempt to “fix” fetterman after that embarrassing “hoodie to work” debacle is boring.

You may be closer to the truth than you realize. Whoever it is that is playing Fetterman isn’t the real Fetterman. I suspect his body is on ice somewhere.
