Fetterman to Teachers’ Union Leaders: “If my knees weren’t so bad I would kneel down and lovingly kiss your rear ends now but you’ll have to settle for a tongue kiss on your crepey, withered mouths. I’ll try to remember a breath mint.”

It makes sense. The Teacher’s Unions prepare the next generation of Americans to hate Republicans and vote Democrat. It would be ungrateful for him not to do this.

“..because he’s a brainless idiot...”

He’s the perfect UniParty candidate.
He’ll cause no trouble and vote/go along to get along with the “agenda” while greedily pigging out at the public trough.
What’s not to like? He’s dead ringer for the UniParty.
