Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said that he knows and loves individuals who voted for President Donald Trump, noting that "they are not fascists" or "Nazis."
"I'm the only Democrat in my family. I grew up in a conservative part of Pennsylvania," he noted during a NewsNation Town Hall while wearing a hoodie.
"I would never compare anybody, anybody to Hitler, and those things," Fetterman declared.
Such "extreme rhetoric" will make it "more likely" that there will be "extreme outcomes and political violence," he suggested.

I won't link to Fox, but he said it. Search for it if you must, the video is there.

Your family doesn't have any Democrats, and you are a fugging tool.

(18,163 posts)3. Fetterman has been a real disappointment,
I agree that everyone who voted for Been A Dick Donald isn't a Nazi or a fascist, but they are responsible for the mess the US is in right now because of those votes for a fascist.

Just starved for attention. After all, his physical appearance and usual manner of dressing make it SO hard to pick him out in a crowd .

Fetterman will flip.
