Moderate Democrat Sen. John Fetterman had a small slip during a panel in Austin, Texas where he referred to himself as a “life-long Republican” when asked why he hasn’t abandoned the Democrat Party to position himself as an Independent.
Fetterman’s leftist detractors couldn’t help but to pile on through social media posts after the small slip up.
Fetterman’s additional comments indicated that he could contemplate a party switch after the midterm season has passed and Democrats secure control over the Senate by a single vote. Just 37 days remain until Election Day.

So the GOP finally slipped a moderate into the Democrat party. Not like the democrats have been doing that to the GOP for decades.

I remember reading he said if he were to do a party switch it would be as an Independent and never as a Republican.
Seems to me they’ve been bringing this up for so long. I think he’s never going Republican.
The left is certifiably insane.
Fetterman is a Democrat. But since he won’t say I
Muslims can slaughter Jews he’s the enemy. These people are just crazy
I’d trade plenty of our Rinos for Fetterman, any day.
ol’ leftist RAT Bernie Sanders made a similar mistake while on the campaign trail with the donkey’s butt AOC. Unfortunately, he’s still around creating mayhem.
I wouldn’t. We need more Fetterman’s in the democrat party to keep them sane!
I would vote for fetterman over a moderate republican in PA too!
New!
Of course the left is insane, they are going to nominate Lindsay Clancy for President in 2028, she is their hero
Liberals defended to death BO’s ‘my muslim faith’ supposed slip up with midget Stephenopolis.

He loves his parents but he's too damn big to sleep on the couch.
I didn’t think IInos existed and I believed Dino’s were extinct, it’s a miracle!
His wife is a rabid Dem, there is no way he would switch parties to affect Senate control ala Jeffries.
Agreed.
obama said he was a muslim.

So Fetterman can’t misspeak but obama can? Maybe hussein is a muslim?
OOOOH! NOW it makes sense!
His mother is a very faithful Orthodox Christian.
