Sen. John Fetterman rips Sen. Bernie Sanders over endorsements for El-Sayed, Planter
The Washington Times ^ | July 19, 2026 | Jeff Mordock

Sen. John Fetterman blasted Sen. Bernard Sanders over his endorsements of Graham Platner and Abdul El-Sayed.

The Pennsylvania Democrat’s remarks came late Saturday following a rally held by Mr. Sanders, Vermont independent, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, for Mr. El-Sayed, who is running to be the U.S. senator from Michigan.

Mr. El-Sayed has come under fire for his anti-Israel comments, including calling it a “rogue state” during a CNN interview.

“You know, humble yourself, Bernie. You know, you just pushed an accused rapist and imploded up in Maine and now you’re pushing, you know, essentially a pro-Hamas candidate that’s been anti-American and deeply anti-Israel,” Mr. Fetterman said in a Fox News interview.

Mr. Fetterman was referring to the failed campaign of Mr. Platner, who ran to be the U.S. senator from Maine. Mr. Platner dropped out of the race after multiple women accused him of sexual assault and misconduct. One woman alleged that Mr. Platner raped her in 2021, an allegation he has denied.

Bernie Sanders has been a burr on the American saddle of politics. It’s too bad that heart trouble he had back in 2016 hadn’t done the job of sidelining his career.

If and when the commies take over, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Fetterman in the same re-education camp that I’m in.

I hope he can play chess. It would be a good way to pass the time.

As someone said, in the comments of a YT video, “give power to a coward and get a bully.”

“””I’m not going to a camp. WOLVERINES!!!!!!!! IYKYK...””””

I’m behind enemy lines in Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan. I live in constant fear of being sent to re-education camp for using the wrong pronoun on some crossdressing mutant. Or if they find out I’m a Republican.

You will hear about me on the news. He was a quiet guy until......

WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. If Fetterman was the deciding vote on the save act he would vote with the rats. Bank it.

Bernie has always hated the Jews, just because he got married in a Kibbutz doesn’t mean anything. He is a Jew hater to the core. If he could he would hand over Israel to Iran today

Sanders has been a consistent anti- American operative for so many years it defies counting.

It’s truly remarkable that apparently the only voice of sanity and reason in the Democrat Party is Fetterman!

**************************

Sanders is one of the worst out there, which is saying a lot in this day & age.

His policies would be an economic & political disaster.
