Two more staffers quit John Fetterman's office as the senator carves his own lane with Trump
NBC News ^ | February 19, 2025 | Allan Smith

Two of Sen. John Fetterman’s longest-serving staff members are leaving his team as the senator takes a more open approach to President Donald Trump than many of his Democratic colleagues are.

Charlie Hills, Fetterman’s communications director, and Tré Easton, his legislative director, are set to soon depart the Pennsylvania Democrat’s office.

Both men worked on Fetterman’s 2022 campaign and have been with him during his two-year Senate career.

“Working for John afforded me the opportunity to build a diligent policy team from scratch,” Easton said in a statement to NBC News. “Together we created a legislative body of work that I think is a blueprint for how Democrats should be governing when they have power. I’ll forever be grateful.”

The departures come one month after Carrie Adams left as Fetterman's communications director. She had garnered attention when she was quoted in a Free Press article disagreeing with the senator on Israel and the war in Gaza. That followed Fetterman losing three of his top communications staffers last March, before his chief-of-staff, Adam Jentleson, stepped down.

The senator’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Democrats do not take lightly to anyone leaving the plantation, even slightly. Look what they did to Mayor Adams in NYC.

The DNC is isolating Fetterman.

Fetterman displays an occasional glimpse of reality to them, and they scurry away to protect their faith in the narrative.

Longest serving staffers.. ya, since 2022. That’s 2 years, nor exactly a long term job.

Just looking through the plantation shutters is a big no-no.

He’ll find new staff. There are plenty of people looking for jobs in DC at this very moment and more to come.

Perfect example of the liberal democrat mindset......outside of maybe a few outliers like Fetterman, they have absolutely NO intention of coexisting with Republicans.

Office b***hes can be so jealous.

Fetterman hasn’t hooked up with Trump, he has just flirted a bit.

Fetter man might as well cross the aisle at this point.

After looking at last year’s results...nationwide and in PA...I wonder if he might flip.

Don’t let Fetterman fool you. He is a Fake Moderate, just like Joe Manchin
was a fake moderate.

“Fetterman displays an occasional glimpse of reality....”

Yeah, “occasional”.....a lot like Kanye West that way. Just when you think he’s stable he says or does something that causes them both to fly off the tracks and crash and burn.....which means if you can’t rely on him ALL the time you can’t rely on him ANY time.

Haven’t you figured out left wing politics yet?

You must conform to orthodoxy on all things.. you aren’t allowed to even say anything counter to the accepted view, period.
