Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is offering a warning about the rise of a “dirtbag left” within the Democratic Party, a reference to candidates on the left who have run and won primaries while identifying themselves as democratic socialists.
Two such candidates, community activist Darializa Avila Chevalier and New York State Assembly member Claire Valdez, emerged victorious on Tuesday night in New York Democratic House primaries. Both candidates are democratic socialists who were backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Chevalier defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.), the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, while Valdez beat progressive candidate and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, who was backed by retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.).
“Yeah, no, I mean, these — the kind of people they are trying to run out of office, they are just good, traditional kinds of Democrats you would expect in New York City now,” Fetterman told Fox News’s Sean Hannity.
“And now this has just become — really, it’s just been the dancing days of the dirtbag left. You know, some of these candidates are outrageous. You have candidates, they’re ‘abolish ICE,’ ‘abolish the police,’ ‘abolish the border.'”
The term “dirtbag left” refers to left-wing political critics who are generally supportive of progressive and democratic socialist causes and openly critical of mainstream Democrats. Writer Amber A’Lee Frost, one of the co-hosts of the “dirtbag left” podcast “Chapo Trap House,” is credited with coining the term.
Fetterman, who rode on a wave popular support to defeat former Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) in 2022, has become a vocal critic of the growing left-wing movement within the Democratic Party in recent years. He accused these candidates of being a “pro-Hamas wing … just declaring a war on just regular Democrats.”

Clearly a dirtbag/douchbag....
Fetterman could really shake things up if he went Independent, and other more traditional Dems appalled by their party’s now-obvious descent into madness might just follow him.
Fetterman can join the Republican party like his fellow dems Thune, Murkowski, Collins, Tillis, Casey and a few others.
I have a hunch he’d rather be independent of that bunch, too.
Commies, Nazis, Illegals, criminals, sexual predators... the NEW democrat party.
Solid hunch.

Yeah, John... I just call them the “commie left”.... because compared to what they are, dirtbag is several zillion steps UP.
You DemonRATS helped, and encouraged those dirtbag lefties.
I hope the grown ups come out to vote in November.
“Casey and a few others.”
Casey who?
GFY. That’s who.
