Shades of those X videos of instant karma for the would-be bully!
On Friday’s CNN This Morning, Group Chat member Luke Thomas, an MMA analyst with an imposing presence who doubles as a left-wing pundit, initially sounded ready for battle.
After more than a hundred House Democrats voted to block billions in military aid to Israel, Sen. John Fetterman drew his red line, saying that he would leave the Democratic Party if it went officially anti-Israel.
Thomas’s tough-guy response?
“Good riddance. I’ll help him pack his bags.”
Macho stuff, Luke!
But Thomas's bravado didn’t last. Fellow panelist Elliot Williams, a scholarly, buttoned-down former Obama Justice Department official, and no conservative partisan, calmly asked Thomas a straightforward question:
"Would you still be content with Fetterman leaving the Democratic Party if it meant Republicans kept the Senate majority?"
Thomas, who had just been so full of fight, promptly backed down:
“I mean, these are complex questions about how power is shared, and I, I have to, I’d have to think more about it.”
Sounding kinda wimpy there, bro!

Not wimpy, he just thought for a moment, previously believing this macho bravado is all that he needs to be like Trump, and then discovering that the madness needs method.
“Good riddance” to Fetterman, because he wants the DNC to be officially hostile to Israel. But not grab power?! NOOOO!
