Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.), the maverick Democrat who has praised President Trump at times, on Thursday condemned the Trump administration’s decision to bar transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military and called for a reversal of the policy.
“I am unapologetically pro-military — I believe in a strong, lethal military. But I am also unapologetically pro the LGBTQ community,” Fetterman said in a video posted to X.
“I am calling on President Trump to rescind this executive order — to allow and honor the inherent dignity of our service members regardless of what their race is, what their gender is, who they love or how they identify,” he said.
“A military that respects and supports all of its members is fully capable of being lethal and winning wars,” he added.

Sen. John Fetterman - D elusional
Agreed, sorry John, we need our troops to be combat ready/effective.
Transgender patients are permanent patients and in perpetual need of medical and psychiatric care.
Why does anybody listen to this scumbag slob?
He’s obviously controlled opposition. He’s allowed to sound not completely loony every once in a while, but never votes non-loony.
And he’s still a friggen slob commie scumbag.
Fetterman is a Political Survivor.
Now doing what he has to do to keep his Street Cred.
He’ll go with MAGA and our PDJT, The GOAT, when he sees the wind blowing in that direction.
He’ll reclaim his voting bloc with talk like this.
Phony Baloney Plastic Bananna Good Time Rock and Roll.
He’s the new “Maverick” Aisle Crosser.
And he’s a John too.
No. Next question.
“Transgender patients are permanent patients and in perpetual need of medical and psychiatric care.”
This is the PERFECT description...short and sweet.
“Transgender” troops take a lot of medical support, which is very difficult to provide in the field.
People with diabetes, which require insulin shots, are medically retired because of the difficulty of insuring such shots in the field.
It is insanity to keep people who need daily hormone injections in the service.
Sit down and shut up, Keystone Shrek. The military doesn’t need seriously mentally ill gender dysphorics, many of whom are undeployable for medical reasons.
Fetterman reminds me of Kanye west......just when you think he’s on track and stable he flies off the tracks and crash and burns......if you can’t depend on him to do the correct thing everytime you can’t depend on him to do the correct thing ever.
No, Fetterman; we can’t have mentally ill troops.
Simply restore the physical fitness and performance standards of the 60s for all branches. We’ll be amazed at how efficient that will be in ridding ourselves of the dross.
He’s been listening to his Marxist wife again.
Good analogy
Too much of a distraction. It was likely being used to get a DEI rank upgrade
Politically he has to toss the Rats a bone every now and then.. he knows it isn’t going to happen
I agree as well. There are far lesser medical and psychological conditions that already preclude individuals from serving.
Fetterman is a cartoon character.
Yes
