John Fetterman Rips Democrats for Making Trump 'Look More Presidential'

[TheProle]

Reacting to House Democrats' behavior on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday, Fetterman said, "A sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance. It only makes Trump look more presidential and restrained. We're becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to—and it may not be the winning message."

Fetterman's remarks came as the Republican-controlled House moved forward with plans to censure Green for disrupting the president's speech. A vote on the censure is expected on Thursday.

Green was not the only member of his party to launch a visible protest during Trump's address, with a significant number of Democratic lawmakers either boycotting the event or walking out of it while Trump was speaking.

David Axelrod, Democratic strategist who played a key role in former President Barack Obama's presidency, said that he thought "what Al Green did was despicable" during a CNN appearance shortly after the speech ended on Tuesday

1. OMG!! (*&&*()__+(*%$#$% Make It

Stop!!

Yeah, it's All the "Dems fault" No worries, JF.... Mump couldn't "look presidential" if his GD life deepened on it.

2. Man, why can't Dems keep this shit private?

Zero benefit to airing this bullshit in public. Both the center and the left needs to shut the fuck up with the nitpicking, why give the media more material to hit us with? Focus on the damn Republicans.

Downside of the big tent and not being authoritarians I guess. But just ONCE in my lifetime, it'd be a fun change of pace for Dems to all be on the same damn page.

16. Because rightwing corporate media is sure to find someone to backstab Democrats...

...and will happily boost them to push their narratives.

Now that Manchin is gone, Fetterman looks to be the rightwing corporate media's new go-to.

[Think. Again.]

17. I suspect fetterman is no longer center-Left nor far-Left.

I believe he has left the Left.

[58Sunliner]

3. I don't think he is the one to lecture anyone.

[Hope22]

4. Dear John

T fired off lie after lie last night. I’m not surprised you could see him looking so Presidential. That man demeaned President Biden and Democrats throughout the one hundred minutes. I knew something would displease you tonight but I thought it might be that he never once mentioned veterans or our troops.

5. Insightful replies appear in this previous thread about the Senator's remarks:

6. Bullshit. I sure don't remember any of these critics hurling words of "despicable" toward those republicans who called

President Obama, President Biden, VP Harris, and Hillary every foul name in the book.

Shame on these jackasses who want to pretend that we are dealing with someone normal, not someone who incited an insurrection against the country, is a pathological liar, a racist, sexist, and bigot.

Please spare me your hair pulling anguish against those Democrats RIGHTFULLY criticizing this deplorable deviant who is trying to destroy our democracy. YOU MAKE ME SICK.

You are Neville Chamberlan's who prefer to ignore the very real danger the country faces. Shame on you.

7. "I certainly didn't have John Fetterman as the decorum leader for the Democrats, but here we are."

A conservative strategist said this, however I find it hilarious...

[msongs]

8. so calling warren pocohantas is presidential? nt

[ellise]

9. What a Disappointment

Why can’t he just go away or at least dress like a MAN!!

[BigmanPigman]

10. Bill Maher thinks Fetterman walks on water..

at least that what he presented to his audience last Fri night.

Every damn time I am stupid enough to give Maher "one more chance" he blows it. What an asshole! Two of his guests were actually good, too bad Bill's such an incredible loser that his good guests get lost in his single minded, "both sides" BS ranting and raving. His rating suck and he still won't concede that he is asshole and needs to shut up.

11. i don't watch that trash can anymore - havent in over a year

he's gotten old. he became the old grumpy grandpa he used to talk shit about when he was younger


has been

[BigmanPigman]

12. I know, me too.

He only pisses me off. I'm a moron. I saw a clip of his 2 guests that are actually sane and gave it a listen. After 15 minutes I had the urge to throw up. That says it all!

He always says he is not "both sides" but that is BS. I stopped looking for his show over 4 years ago. Go with your gut instincts....when I forget to do this I always regret it.

And his eyeglasses are always crooked and he looks like he walked into a wall. I worked for an eye doctor and I could adjust his glasses better than whoever he has hired. His eye doctor must hate him as much as we do since he looks like an old fool.

22. Bill the bigot thinks a lot of Fetterman, can't imagine why.

13. Probably referring to the Dems not standing

& some not clapping for the 13 yr old small black boy who had 11 brain operations for cancer and wants to be a policeman.

I think it was a big mistake for Dems not to acknowledge this kid. It’s all over social media and it’s not a good look.

14. "Making Trump look presidential" is like making a two toed sloth look like an Olympic track gymnast

Maybe it has been tried before somewhere, but never successfully.

[North Shore Chicago]

18. Fetterman

is turning into a predictable bore.

[FHRRK]

19. So, it is OK for a Dem to rip Dems, but we can't hit back?

I will remember that next time I get a Jury review for Fetterman

[malaise]

20. Meh

Go back to MAGAt Largo

[Johonny]

21. Al Green feels the pain that I feel

I love that man.

[Passages]

23. David Axelrod and the geniuses at CNN.

24. At times like this it's always comforting to know who has your back and who

will slip a knife into your back.
