Americans hated President Joe Biden’s loose borders, Pennsylvania’s Sen. John Fetterman said on Wednesday as he suggested he would confirm Sen. Markwayne Mullin to the homeland security post. “Americans don’t like chaos,” Fetterman said to Mullin, adding: America definitely didn’t like the kinds of chaos during the Biden administration at the border. As a Democrat, I was alarmed that there were up to 300,000 encounters at our border once a month… That’s not sustainable, and that’s not manageable, and it’s making it impossible for us to assimilate [migrants]. “My experience with you has been consistent kindness and professionalism,” Fetterman told...

WASHINGTON — Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is trashing “ignorant” far-left New York City Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her “tone-deaf” approach to Israel — and predicted she won’t challenge Big Apple Dem Sen. Chuck Schumer in 2028. “To accuse Israel [of] genocide, and you’re sitting in Germany, like, can you talk about tone deaf and just ignorant to the history?” Fetterman told podcast host Sean Hannity, referring to AOC’s disastrous gaffe-prone foreign-policy outing in Munich last month. “I mean, more than 6 million Jews [were massacred] — you know the Holocaust — and now to accuse Israel during that just war...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called the SAVE America Act “one of the most despicable pieces of legislation” he has seen ahead of the bill being brought to the floor for a vote this week. Speaking to reporters on a Sunday phone call, Schumer claimed that President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are attempting to “disenfranchise millions of Americans and undermine democracy by pushing this despicable SAVE Act,” also called the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act. He also called the election integrity bill “one of the most despicable pieces of legislation I’ve come across in the many years I’ve...

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is the most anomalous politician in America today. Often willing to buck his fellow Democrats, he appears to be a one of a kind on Capitol Hill, even though his ideas are shared by the majority of Americans, including a lot of Democrats. It is not entirely clear how Fetterman went from being a progressive, and failed, candidate for Senate in 2016 to winning in 2022 and becoming the moderate thorn in the side of the ever-left lurching Democrats. Some believe his medical issues changed him, but the answer might be far more simple. In fact,...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) said that “the core of that message” Host Jen Psaki asked, “[Y]ou took part in a video message to members of the military…kind of reminding them that they can refuse to obey illegal orders. As you’re watching what is happening now, how does that message apply to what you think the men and women who are being asked to serve — people from the best military in the world are being asked to serve for a war that this administration really hasn’t explained, how does it apply to...

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Wednesday over why he was the only Senate Democrat who did not sign a letter pressing for an investigation into the strike on an elementary school in Iran. Fetterman joined The Source to discuss the ongoing U.S. military operation and his view of the war as it continues through its second week. Reporting on Monday claimed that the U.S. campaign in Iran was responsible for a strike on a girls’ elementary school that killed 175 people, most of whom were children. In a letter addressed to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth,...

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania on Wednesday dismissed the SAVE America Act, the controversial elections bill being pushed by the Trump administration and some Republican lawmakers, criticizing what he sees as the GOP's about-face on mail-in voting. "I don't support it…in its current state," Fetterman told CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett in an interview Wednesday. "The president is constantly critical on mail-in voting, and that's ridiculous," Fetterman said. "It's safe. Some of the best examples in the country are from red states like Ohio and Florida."

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. John Fetterman MIC DROPS the pro-Palestine left who RELENTESSLY demanded a "ceasefire" after Oct. 7th "The Democrats since 10-7 have been WRONG! 'Ceasefire, ceasefire!' IMAGINE if Israel was pushed to a ceasefire in Summer '24. Hamas would still be intact, Hezbollah would be intact, and Iran could very much could have acquired a nuclear weapon by that point!" "But Netanyahu was able to push through that, broke and destroyed Hamas, same with Hezbollah, and was able to go after Iran and break them down." "And then I was the only Democrat that supported President Trump striking...

Senate Republicans voted down an effort Wednesday to halt President Donald Trump’s war against Iran, demonstrating early support for a conflict that has rapidly spread across the Middle East with no clear U.S. exit strategy. The legislation, known as a war powers resolution, failed on a 47-53 vote tally. The vote fell mostly along party lines, though Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted in favor and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted against. The war powers resolution gave lawmakers an opportunity to demand congressional approval before any further attacks are carried out. The vote forced them to take...

(WHTM) – U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is reacting Saturday morning to the United States and Israel’s attack on Iran. The attack, which reportedly appeared to target the compound home to Iran’s 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in downtown Tehran, comes as President Donald Trump claimed Iran has continued to develop its nuclear program and plans to develop missiles to reach the U.S. “President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region,” said Fetterman on social media. “God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.”

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) spoke out against a deal with Iran, referring to the Islamic Republic as a “cancer". His comments came in an interview with Fox News, amid tensions between the US and Iran. “How could you allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb? Now, people have always said that. Well, you know, [President Donald Trump] actually did something to actually prevent Iran from doing that," said Fetterman. “If they have 900 pounds of near weapons-grade uranium why wouldn't you strike that? Why wouldn't you hold them accountable that way? And now here we are again, and now we've...

On Monday’s CNN This Morning, the “Group Chat” sounded less like analysis and more like a Democratic messaging session. Discussing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s claim that the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0,” CNN senior reporter Zach Wolf wasn’t troubled by the incendiary historical comparison. Instead, he fretted that Democratic Senator John Fetterman had gone “off message” by refusing to echo it. Is the CNN motto still "Facts First"? Or is it "Keeping the Democrats On Message"? Fetterman said: “I would never refer to the SAVE Act as Jim Crow 2.0 I don't call people names or imply that...

The House this week is set to take up the SAVE America Act (the SAVE Act 2.0), an election-integrity measure that some Senate Republicans can’t seem to get behind even though the vast majority of Americans already have. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s office confirms the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register and photo identification to vote in federal elections, will hit the floor on Tuesday. While Democrats will spend hours making a mockery of truth and reality in opposing it, the legislation is expected to pass mostly along party lines — as the...

At least among Republicans and conservatives, the general consensus is that the Democrat Party is one hot mess. The events in Minnesota and Democrats' reaction to it really tell it all. They learned nothing from the 2024 election and still think that their messaging — not bad candidates or what the message actually is — is the problem. It seems that they have concluded that if they just drift further left, that will get them wins in 2026 and 2028. And in some cases, they are weeding out those who cannot or will not pass their purity test. BREAKING: Senator...

Sen. John Fetterman broke with Democrats on Sunday, siding with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham as he accused members of his party of embracing antisemitic rhetoric after a deadly terror attack during a Hanukkah celebration in Australia over the weekend.

"Whether it's France or Australia or any of these nations, our Western allies now calling for...

Washington — Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has been hospitalized after a fall near his home, which caused minor injuries to his face, his spokesman said in a statement posted on social media. Fetterman fell to the ground after feeling light-headed, which was due to a ventricular fibrillation flare-up, the statement said. Ventricular fibrillation is a type of irregular heartbeat. Fetterman is remaining at the hospital for observation so doctors can "fine-tune" his medications.
