John Fetterman (D-PA) responded to the news that Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht is leaving the Democratic Party over rising antisemitism, stating that the party needs to “confront its own rising antisemitism problem.”

In a post on X, Fetterman shared a photo of an article from Politico regarding Wecht announcing that he was leaving the Democratic Party and becoming an independent. Fetterman noted that while he is not switching his party affiliation, he understood Wecht’s “personal choice.”

“I know David and his legendary father, Cyril,” Fetterman said. “As I’ve affirmed, I’m not changing my party—but I fully understand David’s personal choice. The Democratic Party must confront its own rising antisemitism problem.”

If the Dems take Fetterman's warnings to heart, they might actually reform themselves and survive. I'd rather they continue to self destruct.

The rats also want to kick Fetterman out of their Marxist party as sometimes he doesn’t comply, however another RINO in the GOPe would not be welcome.

Plus the MSM and the dems (even some conservative podcasters) are all worked up about the Iran standoff and the elections this fall and the despicable sellouts in the Senate (Thune & Co) can’t pass the SAVE Act anyway. To hell with them and the GOPe, they will lose anyway for lack of turnout. Then again Fetterman would fit right in with this pack of RINOs.

Ask Fetterman if he’s MAGA.

Senator Fetterman, take a clue. They don’t want you bro.

They are sick of you and want you gone. Getting rid of dissenters and those who don’t comply is the Democrat party’s version of “reform.”

Doesn’t matter if you previously toed the line or not. Just ask Congressman Fang Fang.

I wonder if the Democrats have collectively decided that the entire MAGA Movement are a bunch of skinheads, so they are trying to imitate their antisemitism because they think that is their power. Or they are just antisemitic by nature.

They won’t take his advice.

And they will sadly survive.

They are antisemitic because of envy (which is Tucker’s problem) and they hate God. Those that hate God, hate Jews.

The only way for it to survive is to purge the professorate at teachers' colleges.

At this point the commies are unable to reform. The party has hardcore communists in the lead. The base has been totally indoctrinated by the education system and the media. They’ve all but cancelled Fetterman for his heresy.

The party of slavery, the ku klux klan, and infanticide is going to “correct” its antisemitism????? I don’t think so.

Who thought John Fetterman who be the most sane Democrat when he was running? He surprised me...

Good for Fetterman for calling out his own party on this. The dog that isn’t barking is Schumer. What a disgrace he is. He made one speech about rising antisemitism in the Democratic Party and then shut up about it. He’s such a tool.

One huge mistake of the Israel boosters was conflating the Israel critical movement with anti-semitism. There are, no doubt, Jew haters but most earnest types only want the "Isreal lobby" and Israel first elitists out of our government, media... even CHURCHES.

Also, amongst Israel criticals, most don't want bad things to happen to Israel or, particularly, Jews. They're just disgusted, along with countless JEWS, by what they see in Gaza, Lebanaon etc. The Netanyahu/Givr/Fine wing, has brought more hell on their cause than any Muzloid or Nazi could dream. They've made alot of mistake - and a lot of enemies.

Lastly, to your point, those voting against "anti-semitism" are a distinct minority. I would guess the number of races determined by it , in either party, will be close to zero. In fact, the tide seems to be turning *against the "Israel lobby. It's now more likely to be a liability than asset.

I think Fetterman is talking like he has “national” intentions.

For the DNC elite it’s a good thing Iowa is no longer the first state in its nomination process.

Fetterman could easily win the “old” style Iowa caucuses.

Remember in 2020 Mayor Pete beat the autopen guy.

The current DNC system is entirely rigged and Kingfish Clyburn crowns the nominee.

You understand South Carolina doncha, a Red State where a majority of Democrast are 13 per centers.

78% of Black voters in South Carolina are registered as Democrats, according to Pew Research Center data from 2020 cited in a 2023 Syracuse University honors thesis. African Americans make up a significant portion of the state’s Democratic electorate, comprising approximately 60% of Democratic primary voters as of 2020, and have historically been a dominant force in the party’s primary process in the state.

Folk laugh at Komrade Kammy taking a second go around, but I’d say she has the FIRST state in the process in the bag as Kingfish Clyburn is not going to pick white boys like Newscum and Prickster over his tribe.

Silly boy. Anti-Semitism is the new cool, man. Carlson, Owens, Piker, Plattner, Fuentes, and from olden times - Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan, etc.

All the hip, new Democrats are falling into line. “Fight, don’t fold” is the word. Get with it, bro.

You assume you know the substance of Fetterman’s remarks, which are in reaction to Judge Wecht’s quitting the Democrat Party, and go into the usual crap. Save the boiler-plate “rebuttal” and address some specifics.

I’d rather the GOP had a worthy opponent. They’re getting pathetic. The Federalists, the Whigs, the Bull Moose parties all ended. The Democrats are resembling their former mascot more and more, ambling around, occasionally exploding.

All we need now is some renegade Democrat to address the bigger elephant in the room, i.e. the Democrat's long-standing anti-white bigotry and anti-white policies.

Just like the people who complain about anti-Israel protests on elite college campuses often have little to say about the same universities having curricula devoted to attacking "white privilege" (i.e. attacking white people for the crime of existing).

I’d love a real choice, too.

Maybe an actual, small l, libertarian party, that wants to cut spending for real, instead of whatever the hell the Libertarian party is, that isn’t just a selectively isolationist party against doing anything that might indirectly help Israel.

But it’s not going to happen.
