Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said that he knows and loves individuals who voted for President Donald Trump, noting that "they are not fascists" or "Nazis."
"I'm the only Democrat in my family. I grew up in a conservative part of Pennsylvania," he noted during a NewsNation Town Hall while wearing a hoodie.
"I would never compare anybody, anybody to Hitler, and those things," Fetterman declared.
Such "extreme rhetoric" will make it "more likely" that there will be "extreme … outcomes and political violence," he suggested.
Pointing to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Fetterman said, "let people grieve, give people the space. I'm not gonna use that terrible thing … to make my argument and try to put out my views. It's like, my God, you know, he's a father that had his neck blown out by a bullet."
The senator also pointed to the near-assassination of Trump in Pennsylvania last year.
"We really gotta turn the temperature down," he said.
Trump has floated the prospect of potentially supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, and Fetterman indicated he would strongly support such a move.
"I enthusiastically support this. President Trump could help end this war and bring peace to Ukraine. Ending two awful wars is what the Nobel Peace Prize was designed for," the senator noted in a post on X, which also included the Ukrainian and Israeli flag emojis.

“”I’m the only Democrat in my family.”””
I’m the only RETARD in my family, he meant.
He’s going to be primaried so fast it’ll make his head spin.
Weird: Man Becomes More Conservative As He Regains Brain Function

Just do it John. There’s plenty of room for you in the Republican Party.
And he remains a retarded Democrat
He’s negotiating.
Then why are you still a Democrat?
No way the Democrats will allow him to run again in 2028.
They've kicked out Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema from the party even though all they did was to vote against dismantling the filibuster in 2022.
Well gee John, aren’t you smart enough by now to give up on the communist democrat party? Or is it the legalizing marajauna issue that’s getting in the way?
I wish more Democrats would say what Fetterman does.
I remember, in my childhood, when the Democrats would march into their convention singing, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”, and would pray to the same God we would.
It is as though the party has become demon-possessed.
You make it sound like there is any other kind.
Fetterman is what Democrats used to be like.
I wonder if “family” includes his wife?
The Democrats of today are not the Democrats of Truman; Johnson was the beginning of their destruction.
You know it is bad if Fetterman is the voice of reason for an entire party.
They seem totally unhinged. Like a person drowning in debt or blackmailed into their position, they are completely irrational.
To be honest, I think the Uniparty Republicans were not much better. Does anyone argue that Mitch McConnell is “normal”? He acts as though controlled by demonic forces.
To some extent, the entire Federal Government is corrupted by Greed. Trump is the only one who won’t take his salary.
The whole government is run by old age geriatrics.
I like the cut of Fetterman’s jib.
“The Democrats of today are not the Democrats of Truman; Johnson was the beginning of their destruction.”
Yes, by the tail-end of LBJ’s term and the time of the 1968 Dem convention, there were the first salvos of open warfare in a battle for control of the Democrat party, with the old Southern establishment Dems and the blue-collar union-based Dems lined up on one side versus a new coalition of race hustlers, left-wing hippies, abortionists and homosexual activists. From that point, the war raged for two or three decades but eventually the latter coalition prevailed, achieving total victory.
