Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) spoke out against a deal with Iran, referring to the Islamic Republic as a “cancer".
His comments came in an interview with Fox News, amid tensions between the US and Iran.
“How could you allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb? Now, people have always said that. Well, you know, [President Donald Trump] actually did something to actually prevent Iran from doing that," said Fetterman.
“If they have 900 pounds of near weapons-grade uranium why wouldn't you strike that? Why wouldn't you hold them accountable that way? And now here we are again, and now we've demonstrated that's the only thing Iran ever responds to is strength and power," he continued.
Fetterman opined that the US would likely have to hit Iran again “because I don't think you can't really trust and negotiate with them. You can't negotiate with cancer. You have to attack it and go right at it with superior force."

I’m liking him more and more. Islam IS cancer.
A semi-rational Democrat.
Everyone will see what the Democratic Party has devolved to, just by watching how they destroy Fetterman.
I can’t say I have agreed with all his stances, but I do with many of them and he seems to hold his own.
He’ll tack to starboard now, to forestall his cancelation. But it will come. They are already working on it.
Islam is a cancer of peace!
They should all have debilitating strokes and then recover. It did him some good. It might work for them, too.
Very good comment...
Fetterman doesn’t seem to be a “politician”...He seems a more “normal” person...
And yet I haven't heard him advocating getting that cancer out of the US.
Minneapolis might be a place to start.
True dat.
I got a kick out of the Senate having to change their dress code to accommodate his hoodies! That took gumption no one else in the Senate has.
Frankly, I am tired of getting screwed by suit wearing pompous asses. If you’re going to screw me in the Senate at least look like it!
LOL!!!
So true on the hoodie wearing....
Maybe he’s got her locked up in the basement and chained to the wall. Iron is supposed to be anathema to hellspawn.
Generally speaking, I would trust someone wearing a hoodie more than someone wearing a suit.
He’s been a pleasant surprise.
Yes, and so is the “democratic socialist party of America.”
His parents are long time Republicans. His wife is the Dem. He might wind up on the couch soon.
It’s a snake pit, but the snakes are well-dressed - and they went to Law School!
