Stop Talking About Proportion’: John Fetterman Defends Israel Against Accusations of Genocide In Fiery Speech
mediaite ^

Posted on 01/11/2024 11:01:00 AM PST by MNDude

“Who are we? Who are they really fighting? It’s a group of cowards. They hide in tunnels. They hide behind civilians. They attack, kill, and usually children murder. And they do that. Stop talking about proportion on that. They shot their best shot on October 7th, and they would have taken more lives if they could’ve done that,” Fetterman said in a fiery speech before the group.

“But they couldn’t do it. And now let’s also talk about that. Now we’re talking about genocide. And now South Africa is now bringing that kind of a trial. Maybe South Africa, maybe ought to sit this one out where they’re talking about criticizing, given the history there. Sit it out,” Fetterman added to applause.

He’s more concerned over Israel than the spice. I must admit, against all better judgment, I like this Senator.

I seriously do not get where Fetterman is coming from or what happened to him. This is wild stuff given his supposed political pedigree. it is almost like they (the string pullers in the DNC / élite) planned on him remaining a near braindead puppet that would be presented in small doses and instead he woke up and now they can’t control him.

That's it I think. They thought he was an easy vote. Sit down and shut up and we'll pay you. But looks like he's getting a mind of his own. Too bad if he keeps it up he'll probably have another stroke. Accidental of course.

Now get him to switch parties. It’s clear he’s a liberal, but not a radical.

And I wish them every success.

Oh, for the same thing to happen to PedoJoe and here in PRC (Politically Repressive Canaduh), to Crime Minister Castreau.

Not likely to happen any time soon, unfortunately.

We all like what he is saying now, but lets wait and see how he votes when it comes down to brass tacks. That’s where the rubber meets the road.

This is actually hilarious given how much the Democrats spent stuffing the ballot box to get him elected.

Either he had a wicked awesome Krav Maga instructor or he really loves his "Women of the IDF" calendar.

That’s where the evil known as “party discipline” creeps in.

“Senator Fetterman, we respect your right to voice your own opinions. But if you want Pennsylvania to be included in the next highway bill, here’s the way you gotta vote.”

Biden stole the 2020 election. No doubt about it (see my tagline).

But I think Fetterman won legitimately in 2022. His opponent, Dr Oz, was a terrible candidate who ran a terrible campaign. On the other hand, Fetterman’s team did excellent work.

I know quite a few blue dog Democrats in Pennsylvania who voted for Trump in 2020 and then for Fetterman in 2022.

At this point I would consider him an old school pro-choice conservative.

No I don’t want him to have strokes...but I wouldn’t mind him moving more and more into the light side of Morality!

I tried to tell people back in 2022, that they were being fed a complete line of BS about Fetterman from the national GOP establishment. The attempt to brand him as some lug know nothing with no political support or background, or a weak crowned by the party all hat no cattle democrat was just absolute nonsense to anyone who has actually seen the man.

Yes, he is a democrat, and he is liberal, but he is NOT a whackadoo left wing nutter, and no I don’t agree with the man’s politic’s, but anyone who tells you he is just a lug is an idiot.

Long before the national press knew who he was, I witnessed him in action. The man is a presence, he enters a room and the crowd knows it and responds to him.

The fact he had a stroke is the only reason he didn’t trounce the turd OZ by double digits handily...

This guy, if he is truly regained his ability to communicate which it seems he has, then there is little doubt, like it or not, he’s going to be around for a while.

And let me say this now... So far the field for the Senate for the GOP for PA in 2024 is basically McCormick, who isn’t as big of a turd as OZ, but still an establishment/globalist/hack... There is the possibility that Biden (assuming he actually is the candidate in November) is so bad and hated, that Trumps coattails could drag him into the Senate... but even that is SLIM.

I would love to see a better candidate appear, but odds are, the GOPe of PA is not going to let anyone else be the nominee, no one else has announced yet, but even if they do, its unlikely they would be allowed to beat McCormick.

So get ready for another loss for PA Senate, almost certainly this fall.

That was my thought as well. She also left town for weeks when it looked like he might be on his last legs. I’ll bet home life is like the inside of a fridge!
