Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania continued the Democrats’ piling on against Palestinians this past Sunday.
Fetterman asserted to CNN’s Manu Raju: “There’s no ethnic cleansing. It’s not a genocide. This is a just war.”
Asked by Raju if Israel was using “starvation as a weapon,” he claimed: “No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Israel is not deliberately starving people, absolutely.”
He added: “Those conditions are miserable there. And it is hell on earth. Why? Some people blame Israel for that? I blame Hamas and Iran for that thing.”
This continues most Democrats’ failure to recognize the Gaza genocide, even walking back the genocide assertion in the recent case of Congresswoman Katherine Clark, a top leader in the House of Representatives.
What a fucking disappointment. I hope when his term is up, he just crawls back into whatever cave he emerged from. Fucking cave troll-ass
Politicians are always keen on those “Fact-Finding Missions”. Usually they go to expensive cruises or resorts, but maybe you can send him to find some facts in Gaza, personally, and see if this changes his opinion.
I think any kind of brain damage should make you unsuitable for elected office. This tool clearly has had his mind broken.
Whenever Festerman opens his mouth, I assume shit is going to come issuing forth.
And you would be assuming correctly
Can we stop lumping Mr Fetterman in with Democrats? The only thing marking him as a Democrat is a sign on his door, and it’s only blue because he’d already eaten the red Crayola.
Well why not? Have the democrats kicked him out of their party? If not then this behaviour is literally condoned by democrats.
That and being in complete lock step on Israel. Good god, Senator wyden just voted to send more assault rifles to Israel to be handed out to settlers in the West Bank. And he is one of the better ones.
If you want a an issue too differentiate between fetterman and the rest of the democrats, this is not it.
If aiding genocide is our “lesser evil,” we don’t have a lesser evil.
No, we do not. That much is clear
Wtf happened to this guy? I’ll admit I didn’t follow him closely but wasn’t he vaguely progressive and had common sense? I know he had a stroke but does stroking out make you start acting like a total asshole?
No, he was a zionist who had chased a black man through his neighborhood with a shotgun because he assumed the man was robbing people before he was elected. But his primary opponent was also a racist receiving AIPAC money, and he said some vague pro-union things and changed his PFP to a hammer and sickle so everyone either looked the other way and pretended he was more left than he showed, or at least he was the lesser evil.
literal brain damage, yes. it’s not entirely shocking for someone to become a conservative when their brain is no longer working properly. plus it makes one easier to manipulate, which is also a conservative trait.
People are too willing to project all their hopes onto politicians, and always end up disappointed.
It can, yes.
Fetterment is just a nihilistic piece of shit. Although he actually seemed to take pleasure in trolling the people against Israel’s abuse of palestinians. Hurting people that can’t fight back is fun apparently. People like fetterman is how we get Republicans no one is going to turn out and vote for him again
“Literal brain damaged politician makes obviously incorrect statement.”
Let’s not stigmatize stroke victims. Fetterman just sucks and has always sucked, according to locals I’ve heard from. He wore a mask just long enough to get elected to national office.
From what I hear he was a turd before the stroke, too.
He denied the harmful effects of fracking from the get-go. Just ignoring all the people whose Water and Air got permanently poisoned by companies that came in and fracked and then left them poisoned. I knew fetterman was a piece of shit right from the start because of that. There’s no way he could not be.
Just better at filtering / masking it from what I gather.
Fetterman is a zombie.
I just realized I’ve never seen a zombie wearing shorts.
Heard it before, Johnny. It was “just a stroke”.
Fetterman’s brain is scrambled.
Prominent Nazi, John Fetterman (N) PA
Fuck I forgot about this Lyrch looking mother fucking ghoul.
This guy turned out to be such a piece of shit.
