John Fetterman Spotted With Steve Bannon at Popular MAGA Restaurant
The New Republic ^ | June 10, 2025 | Edith Olmsted

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was spotted Monday night chatting with Steve Bannon, according to Politico Playbook.

Fetterman, who has displayed his own dramatic rightward shift, was reportedly dining at a top MAGA hangout near Capitol Hill with Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle, when the conservative news site’s old director wandered up and spoke to the pair for roughly 20 minutes.

Bannon took over Breitbart in 2012, and directed the site to publish patently pugnacious rhetoric and conspiracy theories cooked up by far-right activists and white supremacists. In 2016, Bannon stepped down to join Trump’s presidential campaign as its CEO, and went on to mastermind the authoritarian MAGA movement.

Fetterman broke with his party yet again on Monday to condemn the anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles. “I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos,” he wrote in a post on X.

“My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement,” he added.

Fetterman is correct,
““My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement,”
but it is worse.
imho, his party loses any connection with morality whatsoever when it and/or its Puppetmeisters or major donors sponsors, enables, finances, organizes, and/or funds setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement (and normal American citizens).

The Satanic forces that seized control of the DemoCommieNazi party central machine and apparatus (at least they did by about 2006 or so) need to be cleaned out.

Fetterman talks. And then votes for every leftist bill.

So much for fair reporting. Discovered that Founded in 1914 by several leaders of the progressive movement, it attempted to find a balance between "a liberalism centered in humanitarian and moral passion and one based in an ethos of scientific analysis".

guess that explains all. Scratch another ”progressive” publication off the list….

John Fetterman is the “voice of reason” in the Democrat party. Unfortunately he is crying out in the wilderness, as nobody there is listening, Maybe he is angling for nomination as the presidential candidate for the Democrats in 2028. Fetterman comes across as the “adult in the room”, just another Trojan Horse to get within the gates again.

Was there a time when DC restaurants weren’t segregated by political party?

"John Fetterman is the “voice of reason” in the Democrat party."

That's the same thing RATS said about John McCain.

I could see him declaring himself an independent, but not a Republican. He’s already said he’s going to continue as a democrat, which is ok if it’s just a label, and he doesn’t toe the liberal line no matter what. He’s a work in progress, imho.

Alliteration.

Promotes poster presently pondering pleasant poetic plunge.

Until he votes against the leftist bills it’s just all triangulation. Don’t mean nothing, not a thing.
