Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) broke with the Democratic Party and condemned the anti-ICE riots that broke out in Los Angeles, pointing out that it is “anarchy and true chaos.”

In a post on X, Fetterman explained that he “unapologetically” stands for “free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration.”

Hong Elizabeth Weibel9 Jun 2025310 2:34 Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) broke with the Democratic Party and condemned the anti-ICE riots that broke out in Los Angeles, pointing out that it is “anarchy and true chaos.”

In a post on X, Fetterman explained that he “unapologetically” stands for “free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration.”

He pointed out that the riots in Los Angeles, in which people have thrown rocks at law enforcement officials and their vehicles, shot fireworks at police officers on horseback, set fire to and vandalized Waymo’s self-driving vehicles, looted businesses, and waved foreign flags, are “not that.”

“I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that,” Fetterman wrote. “This is anarchy and true chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.”

He’s different, but he’s right on this!

Oh my, another instance of wondering what Dr. Oz would have said.

I would have bet big money against Fetterman having coherent thoughts when he was elected.

Turns out, Fetterman is one of the most reasonable Democrats in Washington D.C. Fetterman is, in fact, courageous.

He'd probably suggest some quack homeopathic remedy (mineral water dilutions) as the cure for our social as well as medical ills. Fetterman holds what would have been a Republican seat had the Republicans not run a clown against him.

As for Fetterman, the fact that he's an outlier in his own party tells you how low the Democrats have sunk. It's hard to believe that less than 30 years ago most Clinton Democrats were pushing the Crime Bill (with harsher sentences for criminals) and in favor of letting Border Patrol do its job.

Democrats are foreign enemies of the United States

They were intalled by foreign governments to destroy us

...and there are almost enough imbociles in the US willing to unwittingly side with them to ruin this nation

That he is. For one thing, he won’t accept the pro-Hamas crap that most Democrats are spouting. Fetterman fully backs Israel’s right to defend itself. And he’s not shy about showing it.

That’s got to upset the DNC bosses. Will they try to primary Fetterman in 2028?

I’d actually start liking Fetterman a little bit if he wasn’t such a reliable vote for Schumer.

Fetterman has had a stroke but he is now in recovery and is not blind to current events.

Anarchy and chaos, is an accurate description.

Stranger things have happened. There are cases of seemingly ordinary people who suddenly became mathematical geniuses or piano virtuosos after a concussion or a stroke!

Hoping to trade Paul and Massie for Fetterman and a draft choice to be announced
