John Fetterman breaks with Kamala Harris: Democratic Senator slams VP for saying Israel will face 'consequences' for a Rafah ground offensive and says Netanyahu should be allowed to finish Hamas

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday after she indicated Israel should face 'consequences' if they launched a major ground offensive in Rafah.

Both Biden and Harris have warned Israeli Prime Benjamin Bibi Netanyahu not to invade Rafah as part of Israel's military goal of rooting out Hamas terrorists in the region and freeing the hostages held in captivity after the October 7 attacks.

When Harris was asked by ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott on Sunday whether she would rule out considering 'consequences' for Israel if they invaded Rafah, Harris replied, 'I am ruling out nothing.'

'Hard disagree,' Fetterman replied on social media, featuring an image of a news headline generated by the interview. 'Israel has the right to prosecute Hamas to surrender or to be eliminated.'

Harris reiterated the administration's position on Israel's decision to invade Rafah.

'We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,' she said in her ABC interview on Sunday.

Fetterman has emerged as a Democratic figure staunchly in support of Israel after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.

'Hamas owns every innocent death for their cowardice hiding behind Palestinian lives,' he continued on social media.

Fetterman also shared an image of a story of Israel's plans to attack Rafah, backing the effort.

Only because you listened to idiot talking by points out of the RNC and their flappy lipped goons like Hannity et Al, about this guy, rather than folks who actually knew anything about him.

He’s a Democrat make no mistake, but the lies trying to portray him as some whackadoo off the rails leftist goon, were never true.

Lord how I got lambasted for telling the truth about this guy to the rubes here in the 2022 cycle.

I can only hope people are less gullible in the future, and will actually listen to folks on the ground over paid punditry who lie to them in the future, but in sadly doubt it.

As someone who’s actually met Mr Fetterman multiple times and watched his career for nearly 2 decades, if you think he’ll be intimidated into following a preferred path if he doesn’t agree with it, well I will once again go on record saying you clearly don’t know this guys

The Dems can certainly punish him if they want for not cowtowing their preferred line, remove him from committees, marginalize his influence in the party, etc.. but if you think he’ll bend the knee to something he doesn’t believe, you truly don’t know this guy at all.

Yes he’s a democrat, but he is not now, nor never been a the whackadoo, unhinged leftist goon that the RNC tried to sell him as.

I don’t agree with his politics at all, but those that keep trying to box him into some right wing predefined box of who and what he is, based on sweeping generalizations and RNC propaganda will continue to be proven wrong.

I’m liking the brain damaged Fetterman. He’s likely to get my vote over Biden’s.

So much better than that Islamic Turk turd that the GOP tried to foist on us.

With what I know about Fetterman now, I'll probably vote for him over Oz if I lived in PA.

Many thanks for taking time to provide your personal insight. Your words have altered my opinion of him ... a bit, anyway.
Cheers!

“but I am confident I’m not.”

You’re absolutely right. That’s why we shouldn’t make much about this.
