Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania proves yet again to be the voice of sanity and reason in the Democratic Party, criticizing them in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. He has called on his party to stop calling President Trump "Hitler" and an "autocrat."
On Wednesday, before it was confirmed that Charlie had died from the shot, Fetterman noted to CNN's Manu Raju that just a day before the assassination, people were protesting President Trump and calling him the "Hitler of our time." Senator Fetterman condemned the characterization and said that the Democrats must "turn the temperature down."
"I think you just don’t ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler and those kinds of extreme things," Fetterman said. "Now, look what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, you know, the man was shot. Now, we have to turn the temperature down. We can’t compare people to these kinds of figures in history. And this is not an autocrat. This is a product of a democratic election."
"So you don’t think that Trump is at all shattering any of the norms of democracy in any way?" Raju asked the Senator.
"I’m saying he’s definitely different, but that’s what America voted for," Fetterman argued. "Again, I don’t agree with many of these things, but that does not make him an autocrat."
Democrat Senator John Fetterman says people need to stop referring to President Trump as an "autocrat" when it's just not accurate.

Senator Fetterman assured CNN that despite his criticism of the Democratic Party, and that they have "lost the argument," he will not be changing his party designation anytime soon.
"Right now, I think it’s entirely appropriate to really be honest and just figure out why exactly have we effectively lost two out of the last three cycles and of a lot of things," Fetterman said. "We’ve really kind of lost our connection with American voters in ways. And I think we can‘t just be ‘well, Trump is always wrong’ or that ‘we‘re going to set the country on fire’ or whatever. That‘s just not true either, of course."
"But, you know, when I represent a state like Pennsylvania, that keeps you honest. You always can‘t forget that a lot of Americans happen to disagree with you. That does not mean that they are fascists, or now they want to shred the Constitution," Fetterman continued.
Meanwhile, most Democrats don't practice any level of humility, as they continue to liken twice democratically elected President, Donald Trump, to a dictator. Representative Jasmine Crocket of Texas, and wannabe progressive star, like many Democrats in the wake of Charlie's assassination, defended the name-calling of Republicans and the President. On "The Breakfast Club," saying "Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know, ‘wannabe Hitler,’ all those things are like, not necessarily saying, 'Go out and hurt somebody,’ But when you're literally telling people at rallies, 'Yeah, beat them up' and that kind of stuff, you are promoting a culture of violence."

Many of today’s Democrats are
TOO COMMITTED to the Homosexual Agenda
and other radical causes to listen
Actually I’ve noticed Fetterman doesn’t like anyone’s rhetoric. The guy is a hulking paradox.
He’s not an Autopen, either...
Another good statement from Fetterman.
I sincerely hope he is protected by a good security detail.
There. Fixed that. Money is the oxygen feeding American politics.
Remeber when Obozo told us “if they show up with a knife we show up with a gun.”
THEN
Remember when Biduhn told us to “lower the temperature.”
Reap the whirlwind.

Remember when we all thought Fetterman was a nut job? 😏
He was. His treatment seems to have helped.
Come on, Fetterman, you can do it! Better a RINO than a DINO
Thanks, John, but I prefer them to be honest. Why should they hide their opinion that we’re the source of all evil in the world? Everybody should know exactly what these freaks are thinking. Best that they, themselves, tell us.
He is a nutjob. And John F Kennedy was a major league "liberal".
But Fetterman seems sane, at times. Kennedy would be "right of center" these days. The main-stream of the democRAT Party have become shrieking, foaming-at-the-mouth communists, islamists, and sodomites.
We are beyond dialing back anything.
👍👍
Fetterman voting record is a typical & reliable lefty Senator for the democrat coalition.
Where he differs with his party, is on support for Israel and “over the top” rhetoric against Trump and MAGA
Fetterman has a lot of MAGA types in Pennsylvania and he doesn’t want to alienate them, he wants to remain a Senator for more than one term.
“”Remember when we all thought Fetterman was a nut job? 😏””
Oh, he is much more sensible now (less of a typical Democrat)... seems more intelligent... and is even better looking (less of that neanderthal/caveman look). Perhaps everyone in politics should consider having a debilitating and “almost fatal” stroke.

He’s seen the Marxist Dems up close and he got slapped awake.

Exposure to Democrats cured him.
