Fetterman officially endorses Elise Stefanik for UN Ambassador

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman on Wednesday officially endorsed New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.).

President-elect Donald Trump nominated Stefanik for the post last month, which would require her to resign her House seat, but she still needs to be confirmed by the Senate. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley held the post in Trump's first term.

Fetterman said that he always planned to confirm Stefanik, but appeared even more confident after the pair had a discussion on Capitol Hill. Trump's nominees have been meeting with senators this month to help ease the confirmation process.

"Always was a hard YES for [Stefanik], but it was a pleasure to have a conversation," he posted on X. "I support defunding UNRWA for its documented Hamas infiltration and fully look forward to her holding the [U.N.] accountable for its endemic antisemitism and blatant anti-Israel views."

Tried to tell folks that bought into the RNC lies and BS about Fetterman in 2022 that Fetterman is not remotely what Mitch, the RNC and their talking point parrots were telling you he is.

Yes he’s a democrat, but he has never been what they lied and told folks he was.

Caught hell from everyone because I called out OZ as the worthless POS that he was...

I disagree with Fetterman on a lot, but nothing about his behavior since winning office has been anything outside what I expected of him. Those surprised by his behavior are those who bought into lies and nonsense.

“Fetterman, the almost MAGA Democrat”

I have to agree with you on that. We shall see what the future brings.

“’You take your support where you find it.””

I think he’s been all over the place so it’s hard to pin him down on one issue - for/against - you can’t tell but hopefully, he was misjudged and will come through doing the right thing.

I think Fetterman got his ‘religion’ on October 7, 2023.

Some folks will say that Fetterman is a deep plant. His classical liberal behavior is just an act.

I disagree with them, and agree with you. From the very start Fetterman relentlessly attacked a fellow Democrat, the corrupt Senator Bob Menendez. Fetterman mocked Menendez every chance he could.

That is not the behavior of a “progressive” plant. It is the behavior of a classical liberal.

That doesn’t mean Fetterman won’t vote with his fellow Democrats most of the time. He will. It does mean he’s in a whole different category than AOC, Elizabeth Warren, etc.

Gives him cover to vote against others that actually count. Also, she’ll get 100% of the Republican vote. Let’s see him vote for Hegseth or Patel.

Yep, the rest of the RAT Senators are stupid drones that do what Chuckie tells them to do.

I’m opposed to risking the Republican House majority to put Elise in a house packed with anti-American jackals.
