Sen. Fetterman will take Dennis Horton, freed after 28 years in prison, to the State of the Union
The Philadelphia Enquirer ^ | 2/6/2023 | Terruso

It will be the first State of the Union address for both of them.

Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) will take Philadelphian Dennis “Freedom” Horton as his guest to President Joe Biden’s address Tuesday night, underlining his commitment to criminal justice reform in his first time attending the nationally watched event.

Fetterman is still establishing himself as a freshman senator, just sworn in last month, and inviting Horton for his first State of the Union sends an early signal that clemency work and second chances remain a major focus for him.

Horton, along with his brother, Lee, served 28 years in prison for a murder conviction that has been heavily criticized as both brothers have maintained their innocence. Fetterman vigorously advocated for their release from prison during his time as chair of the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons, which voted to commute their sentences in December 2020.

I just realized these is little news on this Lurch like political figure. Especially compared to the deluge of it before the election. How is he doing as a Senator? Love to hear from some Pennamites…that is if any conservatives still live there.

I saw a quick shot of each of my embarrassing Senators, last night. Then I saw Fetterman. I felt a little bit better.

It’d be ironic if he shanked someone in the parking lot.

Wrong, but ironic.

Pennsylvania's other senator is Bob Casey Jr., a pioneer in the election strategy of hiding from the media (Casey was elected on the strength of his dead father's name. Casey's dad was popular with PA seniors. Junior was smart enough to avoid the media and let them stay confused).

Let's just say we are conditioned to be accustomed to it.

Sounds like he watched Biden.

Honestly first time in my life I saw someone appear so little in public and won the POTUS.
