Leaks to media about Fetterman are a coordinated smear campaign, Hill colleagues say
Fox News ^ | May 9, 2025 | Charles Creitz

The media’s pile-on of Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., reached the point where both Republicans and Democrats were lamenting the rhetorical blows landing on the hulking Pittsburgh-area lawmaker by Friday.

"This is so blatantly coordinated," remarked media observer and Fox News contributor Joe Concha, who shared a link in his X post to a Politico report claiming an internal Democratic poll found Fetterman’s popularity faltering in his part of the Keystone State.

The report claimed Fetterman had now fallen below 50% in Democratic voter support in the Steel City, just a few miles west of Braddock, where he was previously mayor.

"I know a hit piece when I see one," added Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y.

"The only reason for the coordinated campaign against Senator John Fetterman is his unapologetic pro-Israel politics," wrote Torres, a Bronx Democrat who also bucks his party on Israel, but is also considered a high-profile progressive.

That trend continued Friday when Sen. David McCormick, R-Pa., stuck up for Fetterman, saying in a statement that "it’s time to put politics aside and stop these vicious, personal attacks against Senator Fetterman, his wife, and his health."

"While we have many differences, we are both committed to working together to achieve results for the people of Pennsylvania and make their lives better," McCormick wrote.

Philadelphia radio host Nick Kayal remarked on X that he’s seen more reports critical of Fetterman’s health in four days than were seen in the press about former President Joe Biden in four years.

"Wonder why," he asked rhetorically.

"If you’re a Democrat and oppose the woke mob, you’re enemy #1 of the legacy media," wrote Eyal Yakoby, who also posted a previous photo he took with Fetterman.

Keep in mind that Fetterman is 100% on board with every Democrat policy except two:

  1. Hating Jooze
  2. Importing illegal gangbangers and letting them stay indefinitely.

    Tells you all you need to know about the DNC and their minions.

Dems have no objection to cognitive impairment. Only when it inconveniences their agenda.

I am well aware of the tiny disagreement between Fetterman and American Standard Jim Jones Democrats.

It illuminates and accentuates the required Jim Jones component in every Democrat.

They'll turn on, and kill each other in any way there is for the slightest failure to obey the pecking order.

Fetterman is liberal, but he also supports Israel and he supports Jews, and that is NOT allowed in the Dem party, the Dem party stands with Hamas, stands with Jew hatred, that is why they want Fetterman gone by any means necessary..they want him replaced with a Pro Hamas lover, someone who thinks like them

and Fetterman didnt even vote for some of Trumps picks, which is fine, he had every right to vote against them..but Fetterman supports Israel and he stands up for Jews everywhere against the blatant Jew hatred we see going on and for that what the commies are doing to him are absolutely disgusting, but not surprising..that is why Schmucky Schumer wont even utter the name Israel or anything to do with Jews, when Bibas family came home after being slaughtered, it took Schmucky THREE DAYS to give out an X statement and it was half ass, out of fear that he would get trashed by the Pro Hamas base

Are the leaks true… probably

So even if the media is out to get Fetterman - what Republican is ready to replace him?

The libs are going to chase Big John out of the Dem Party, like a crowd of townspeople, holding blazing torches, as they chase (a misunderstood) Frankenstein out of their little village. He will probably ‘temporarily’ sign up with the Independent Party. They never say ‘No’ to partisan refugees.

John Fetterman is probably the only Democrat who's "masculine".

Everyone else? I can't really say that. Not in 2025, anyway.

Yes, the Democrats may be nasty enough to motivate Fetterman to go Independent.

Independents won't try to kill him.

Pennsylvania republicans need to vote for him in his next primary, even if they have to switch party registration. If republican does not win then at least Fetterman is somewhat moderate.
