Fetterman Flips On His Own Party In Surprising Sudden Move
The Republic Brief ^ | 7/1/24 | Alisha Rodriguez

Posted on 01/08/2024 2:10:00 PM PST by Eleutheria5

Senator John Fetterman (D‑PA) diverged from his party recently by acknowledging that the breakdown of the southern border is really a “crisis.”

“There’s a crisis at the border,” Fetterman told reporters on Friday. “And I don’t know how anybody could pretend that there isn’t.”

Fetterman has often voiced his disapproval of his party’s stance on the border issue during the past few weeks.

“I’m not a progressive,” Fetterman told NBC News. “I just think I’m a Democrat that is very committed to choice and other things. But with Israel, I’m going to be on the right side of that. And immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well.”

Amidst a surge in illegal alien crossings into the United States, House Republicans have remained steadfast in their insistence for enhanced border security, as the possibility of a government shutdown approaches. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) recently visited the southern border with a small group of his colleagues to assess the situation following a record-breaking 3.2 million interactions with illegal aliens in the fiscal year 2023.

So he flipped on the Democrat party? Interesting. What was the vote where he voted against them? Or did he just say something?

Democrats are always free to say things. The only thing that matters is his vote. Give me a call when he votes against the Democrat party.

Does this mean he’s in favor of shutting the government down unless the border gets closed? Lol just kidding. It’s all bullshit, he hasn’t changed a bit. He’s acting like he cares, but he won’t lift a finger to stop it. And he would never join with the Republicans to help stop it.

He is trying to replace Manchin as the Senate's chief lying dog-faced pony soldier.

JFK by today's standards would be considered a raging hard right Republican.

Without question. We let this happen by not pushing back each time the MMs (moronic Marxists) tried to alter public opinion. We lost almost 300,000 lives in Vietnam, another 36,500 in Korea, and more in the Cold wars with the USSR, in the fight against the assault to personal freedom and self-determinism that Marxism is. Literally 100s of millions have lost their lives to Marxism world-wide. But we still have 'academic' morons pushing for Marxism. These are seriously stupid people.

Talk is just talk.

See if he votes for actual, enforceable border security.

I would be very surprised if he votes good.

As with all Politicians, its what they do and how they vote which matters.
What they say is only Theater.

He is still a Democrat.

I wish I could attach myself to a strong cable in order to pull my self back to reality and then explore a Marxist mind. Even my imagination can’t go there.

We haven’t seen his wife in quite some time. She used to be where ever there was a camera.

He might be a robot, and Elon Musk is behind it all. A Terminator with a sense of humor, trolling libs into giving him a Senate seat.

He's been bailin' as fast as his disabled ass can, but he's just trying to save that very same ass from political oblivion.
