Fetterman: 'Iran must be so excited by the American media and the Democratic Party'

[durablend]

https://www.abc27.com/pennsylvania/fetterman-iran-must-be-so-excited-by-the-american-media-and-the-democratic-party/

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is criticizing fellow Democrats and the media for not showing more support for military operations against Iran, quipping that “Iran must be so excited” that the Democratic Party and leading media outlets are putting pressure on President Trump to cease hostilities as soon as possible.

“It’s almost as if, you know, we’ve forgotten on the Democratic side that the real enemy, the real threat, the real danger is Iran and … proxies too,” Fetterman told Fox News in an interview Wednesday evening.

He said constant Democratic criticism of Trump’s military operations against Iran is giving the Iranian regime hope that if it can withstand missile strikes and a U.S. naval blockade of its ports for a few more weeks, Trump will be forced by political pressure to pull back.

“You know, Iran must be so excited by the American media and the Democratic Party the way they, it’s like, as long as we can hang on for 60 days, more and more people continue to vote against, you know, the Trump administration to end the Iranian regime,” he said. (continues)


Another day ending in -y for him licking Trump's shoes.

[JBTaurus83]

1. UGH!

Dems need to start hitting him back very publicly.

[Chasstev365]

2. His mind is gone...

[mucifer]

7. I doubt it. But I'm cynical.

[Chasstev365]

15. Fetterman embracing Trump and MAGA at this point is like a rat swiming towards the Titanic

[themaguffin]

92. This is who he is. We shouldn't make excuses as if something is obstructing otherwise normal thought.

[wcmagumba]

3. Dumbass Dino GTFO then...go where your heart lies...Republican faker....

[displacedvermoter]

4. Big stupid head full of mush

[Celerity]

5. His stroke has so perma-wrecked his brain. He is a hot mess who needs to be stopped at the polls in the 2028 Dem primary

[Boo1]

54. He was a loon well before

the stroke.

Holding a jogger at gunpoint for instance.

[Celerity]

69. No he was not, and the jogger involved in the 2013 gun incident, Christopher Miyares,

(who was in prison serving an 18- to 36-month sentence after being convicted in 2019 of kidnapping, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint, etc) said in a letter to The Philadelphia Inquirer he hoped Fetterman would win the 2022 US Senate race.

The bottom line is that pre-stroke Fetterman was profoundly different (a claim backed up by so many surrounding him in his personal, professional, and political life) from the post- stroke Fetterman. He is perma-changed and perma-damaged in my (and countless others') opinion.

Man John Fetterman confronted with a shotgun says that should not stymie his Senate bid

https://archive.ph/dd339

CHRIS BRENNAN
Philadelphia Inquirer / / STAFF WRITER

A man confronted in 2013 by a shotgun-wielding John Fetterman — then mayor of Braddock, now lieutenant governor and running for the U.S. Senate — claims Mr. Fetterman has "lied about everything" that happened that day. But Christopher Miyares, writing from a state prison in Somerset County, also told The Inquirer that incident should not stop Mr. Fetterman from becoming a senator. "Even with everything I said, it is inhumane to believe one mistake should define a man's life," Miyares wrote in one of two letters sent to The Inquirer. "I hope he gets to be a Senator." (That last line was underlined three times.)

The shotgun incident long has been discussed in political circles as Mr. Fetterman's career soared. But it has drawn new attention amid the racial reckoning stoked after the police killing of George Floyd and as Mr. Fetterman, a favorite of progressives, emerged as the early Democratic front-runner in a race next year that could determine control of the Senate.
Mr. Fetterman and Miyares tell very different versions about that January day from eight years back. Mr. Fetterman's story: He heard gunfire near his home in Braddock and saw a man wearing a mask running away, so he called 911, chased him down in his truck, and approached him with a shotgun in hand. Mr. Fetterman, who is white, has repeatedly denied knowing Miyares was Black or pointing the shotgun at him.

Miyares lived in Braddock at the time and said he liked Mr. Fetterman, but disputed his account. "He lied about everything," Miyares wrote. He has previously said he was jogging in the neighborhood when he heard fireworks, just before Mr. Fetterman confronted him. "He knew my race. The gun was aimed at my chest while he loaded five red shells into the tube of the 12-gauge TAC shotgun," Miyares wrote. "Once he finished, he aimed it at my face out of the Ford F-150 Truck." But in a second letter to The Inquirer, postmarked on the same day last month, Miyares said Mr. Fetterman could face a political backlash now if the Senate candidate revised his account. "Telling the truth on an incident 10 years ago could cause him more harm than good," Miyares wrote. "Mr. Fetterman and his family have done far more good than that one bad act or action and, as such, should not be defined by it." He signed that letter: "Gooo Fetterman."

The accounts of both men match a description in a 2013 incident report filed by Braddock police, who said Miyares was unarmed. The officer who responded to the 911 call said two people in the area stopped him to say "they heard several shots" before he got to Mr. Fetterman and Miyares. The officer wrote that Miyares, 36, was wearing "running clothing" and headphones and was "very cooperative, but was upset that Fetterman pulled a shotgun on him." Miyares' letters were in response to a letter from The Inquirer, seeking his version of the incident. He is serving an 18- to 36-month sentence after being convicted in 2019 of kidnapping, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint, and other crimes against a woman who hired him for a ride to work. Miyares contended in his letter that he is "in prison for a crime I didn't commit."

[Boo1]

88. Did you even read what you posted?

Fetterman was holding an unarmed black jogger at the end of a shotgun, after chasing him down in his truck.

Are you trying to say that since he was in prison for something totally unrelated a decade later that it makes it ok?

[Celerity]

100. I never said it made it ok. It is background from the article. I absolutely stand by my claim that the stroke massively

changed him and not for the better.

[Boo1]

103. The only thing that changed

Was his platform. More eyes on him to see how big of a shithead he always was.

[Celerity]

105. Disagree and I will leave it as agree to disagree. nt

[travelingthrulife]

90. That's a long time for him to cause everybody pain.

[DavidDvorkin]

6. He's still saying "Democratic"

When he switches to "Democrat" as the adjective, that will complete his transition.

[walkingman]

8. Not a Pennsylvanian so someone help me, please. How on earth did this guy get elected as a Dem?

Being from Texas, not judging the State for having elected a dipshit for Senator because we have some real jewels (Cornyn and Cruz) but just can't see how he ever got the support of Dems?

[lame54]

12. He beat Oz...

It's been downhill from there

[JBTaurus83]

17. He ran as a populist

Against a more qualified candidate. The primary voters wanted to pin any magical wishes and hopes on Fetterman’s campaign which was light on details. Apparently all he had to do was travel around looking like a slob. He then had a stroke during the campaign and only won because his competition was Oz who actually lives in Jersey.

[walkingman]

39. I remember the stroke and a growth on his neck or something. Glad he beat Oz but wow,

I always thought of Pa. as a pretty progressive place. I guess it depends on what district like in Texas. Here almost every Texas city is blue but everywhere else is deep red....which I find very weird. I happen to live in rural Texas and it is about as not-progressive as you could possibly imagine.

[JBTaurus83]

47. Philly and Pittsburgh are progressive

The rest of the state is basically Kentucky. It’s always a battle for turnout.

[LeftInTX]

95. PA went for Trump in 2016 and 2024. Therefore, it certainly isn't that progressive.

I think the stroke turned him red

[MyOwnPeace]

36. As Lt. Gov. of PA he actually.......

led public hearings on the legalization of weed!
I'd love to hear his stance on that now.....

[walkingman]

46. I find the attitude about weed kind of strange. I've never thought of pot as a big deal

but admittedly never tried any of the more modern versions that are supposed to be much stronger - wish Texas would legalize.

[Skittles]

51. all I know is

I've never found pot smokers to be scary in any way

[walkingman]

41. That's interesting - never thought about something like that changing your ideology.

55. SIDEWAYS with a CHOLLA CACTUS -also called the JUMPING CACTUS! If you've ever seen one of these &

It not only has spines, those spines are BARBED like porcupine spines are, which work their way deeper as you move. So you can see how much animus I have for that broken headed Lurch traitor. Can he be recalled?

[Cha]

10. The Fucking REAL enemy is the PEDO NAZI

in the fukcing WH.

You're being Stupid Fettterman. Do you Ever call out fucking PEDO?

[lame54]

11. Trump and Republicans must be excited about Fetterman

[MIButterfly]

101. They are

My aunt once asked me if I knew who was a rising star in the "Democrat" party. Oh, do tell who you think is a rising star in the DEMOCRATIC party. "John Fetterman. He wrote a book called Unfettered." Well, that certainly nails it.

She probably got that bit of wisdom from my ultra-conservative, Rush Limbaugh worshipping uncle. She doesn't have a single opinion that didn't come flying out of my uncle's ass.

I never talk politics with these people. It's an exercise in futility.

[lame54]

115. Many if us were fooled. He was a fighter...

Now, he's an enabler

[dalton99a]

13. Pennsylvania Democrats were scammed good.

[Cha]

22. Unfortunately so was DU... I should know..

I was for Conor Lamb, and I got told that Fetterman was a real "progressive" and Lamb was a "centrist".

[Emile]

31. and we ended up getting a worthless centrist anyways.

[Cha]

33. Fetterman isn't a "centrist"... he

supports and votes for the Fascist wing.

And, Conor Lamb is not "worthless". "AOC has apologized to him".

[Emile]

34. One thing for certain, Fetterman is not progressive.

[Nixie]

72. Fetterman was promoted by "progressives" which just means

Bernie’s approval in these contexts.

[Emile]

73. Fetterman was endorsed by Schumer too.

Bernie endorsed Mamdani, Schumer didn't. Schumer's approval in these contexts.

[Nixie]

74. Bernie's candidate Fetterman wound up being

endorsed which was the constant demand from Bernie fans — endorse Bernie’s “progressives.”

[Emile]

75. Schumer's candidate Fetterman, with the one million dollars

that he transferred in campaign funds to his effort, done more for his victory than Bernie's endorsement. Endorsements from the
Minority Leader of the United States Senate carries more weight than a single senator from Vermont.

[Nixie]

77. Bernie's candidate Fetterman was eventually helped by

the party after he won the primary. Bernie’s candidate Fetterman ran against centrist Conor Lamb. Using AI won’t change the facts that “progressives” wanted Bernie’s candidate Fetterman endorsed and supported by the party leaders.

[Emile]

78. LOL

Have a good day Nixie.

[Nixie]

79. LOL

Yes, trying to change history to keep from taking responsibility is very funny stuff.

108. Aloha Nixie.. Please see Post # 107

[Nixie]

130. Thanks Cha...how can we forget that Fetterman was such

a big win here for Bernie and progressives.

Thanks for the article as a reminder.

[Cha]

131. YOu're Very Welcome, Nixie..

I sure didn't forget.

Interesting how Sanders' influence is being minimized.

💔💙 ☮️🌻🕯️🕊️💜

[tritsofme]

80. This is a super bizarre take. Schumer supported Fetterman after he became the Democratic nominee

Schumer supporting Fetterman after he became the Democratic nominee isn’t some special signal—it’s literally his job as leader to back the party’s candidate in a battleground race.

If you want to talk about “ownership,” Bernie endorsed and pushed Fetterman during the primary, when there were actually alternative choices like Conor Lamb. That’s when support matters.

Calling him “Schumer’s candidate” is just silly. Bernie has more claim to this mess than Schumer ever did.

As Nixie mentioned above, this is a pretty sad attempt at dodging accountability.

[MichMan]

82. So he was unilaterally supported by many

[Emile]

84. Exactly

It's all about him and always was. Time for PA to send him back to whatever bum fuck town he crawled out of.

[Emile]

71. AI overview of Fetterman, is Fetternan a centrist?

AI Overview

Senator John Fetterman is increasingly considered a centrist or center-left Democrat, having shifted away from his initial progressive branding. He frequently breaks with his party on key issues, including strong support for Israel, strict border policies, and criticizing left-wing viewpoints, leading to popularity gains among Republicans and tensions with progressive constituents.

Voted to confirm Trump appointees Kristi Noem, Eric Turner, and Lee Zeldin. All grossly unqualified.

Supports Trump's Gaza scheme, including sending US troops. I guess Gaza Palestinians should just cease to exist.

Supports the current debacle with Iran that's pointless, an abject failure, and has made the ME even more unstable.

Refuses to even say that Trump's policies are destructive to the country.

What the F does it actually take for you to recognize reality? Are you related to the conman or something? Do you actually agree with Fetterman on those issues? Don't point fingers are me. Look at yourself.

[Emile]

134. We both agree Fetterman is a pos.

Accusing me of being related to the conman is weird and judgemental.

139. No it doesn't. Look back at what you posted. And what I did.

I'm merely stating Fetterman ran on what he's not. He lied. He's a con. He's not centrist, he's opportunist. Whether you chose to believe that or not is on you. I'm just stating the facts on the ground.

[Emile]

140. I agree he lied when he ran for office.

John Fetterman votes with his party 91% of the time, indicating he breaks ranks with Democrats about 9% of the time.

According to AI he's a centrist. Now you can disagree with that, I really don't care. But don't scold me for having my own opinion.

[Violet_Crumble]

132. I have a suspicion it may be more accurate and less biased than some posts in this thread...

Here I am again with no dog in this fight, but I did ask Claude about which Democrats endorsed Fetterman and it gave me what looks like a reasonably credible answer. It didn't put the word progressives in dit-dits or call Fetterman 'Bernie's candidate', so it appears to be less biased than some comments in this thread. Isn't it pretty clear that Fetterman's stroke has had an impact on him? Accusing people of supporting him pre-stroke and before his behaviour became so horrible is pretty silly and desperate imo. I thought he was pretty cool when he started as a Senator. Am I going to be blamed for that and labelled a 'progressive?' The most acccurate description of my politics is socialist, which I suspect would cause a few heads to explode lol

We're taught at work to use AI as a tool to draft or seek information, but always double check what it gives you as it can be flat out wrong or slanted in some weird direction . I was told by Co-pilot that I only had to water my Jade plant once a month and only give it 2ml of water. It died. Screw you, copilot! I dumped you for Claude!

Anyway, I get confused about the US political spectrum, so I asked Claude. Bottom line, is the US Left is generally more to the centre than the Left in other countries and that's because of factors like first past the post voting, and non-compulsory voting. The US only has two parties and the Democratic Party is made up of a wide range of factions that would belong to separate parties in other countries. It's why I see so much contempt from some liberal Americans towards others who are further to the left or the right on the spectrum to them. I think they're all wasting their time and energy and should come together to fight the real evil, which is Trump and the Republicans.

[paleotn]

[Cosmocat]

49. I liked Lamb a lot

But Fetterman looked like the real deal.

[Cha]

52. Good to know, CosmoCat...

Are you in PA?

[Cosmocat]

91. Yep

I got interested in Fetterman when he was running for LT Governor.

Saw him do a campaign stop at a local bookstore, good turnout for something like that, 50 or so people.

He stayed after to talk to anyone who talked to him, I saw because I waited to the end, took about an hour.

He was humble, was running with Tom Wolf as Govenor and said if there was a choice he would gladly lose to make sure Wolf won - his referencing super wing nut in the house, Mastronio, who was telling people that if he won Governor he would not validate any Ds who won a state level election.

He was right on all our issues - straightforward and unapologetically. He also was direct about his criticisms of Rs. One of his appeals was that he really went at them. When he won LT governor he hung a pride flag from the window of his office, which drove them nuts. As LT Gov, he was kind of a tie breaker for the Senate and had other roles with the Senate - he did his homework and figured out ways to throw wrenches at them, which again, drove the nuts.

He openly pushed, and I think successfully, some prison reforms that fell under his jurisdiction and also marijuana reforms, which I don't think made it.

I liked Lamb a lot, he was the solid slight blue doggish type, but he seems like a quality guy and would have had a good appeal in PA. But I met with Fetterman a few times, he was a politician, no doubt, but he was the kind of firebrand progressive that we so desperately needed.

Not sure that happened, even before his stroke it was clear his ego was getting the best of him once he got elected to the Senate, and was liking hearing himself talk. But, he just is not the same guy at all since the stroke.

[Cha]

114. Wow... That's a 180 degree turn!

TY for that interesting synopsis of Fetterman before he was this Fetterman.

One for the books!

14. Fetterman's wife Gisele was undocumented when she came to the US

I'm wondering whether Trump has threatened to send her back to Brazil. Could be one reason why Fetterman is so cozy with the Republicans.

20. Fettean never served for the military we love

And apparently he hates so fuck him.

We support our troops and want them home. Iran's leaders are awful, but they're in no way worse due to this war. Meanwhile we lost half our offensive strike capability and there no end in sight for our people in harms way.

Congress, or consult with our NATO allies, but went ahead unilaterally attacked them THREE different times in the middle of negotiations with Iran, then has a hissy fit because our allies didn’t support him, and even before the attacks was bashing NATO and our allies constantly.

48. My Republican sister in law was trying to impress me...

…by sharing that she had seen Fetterman on Faux News and was actually impressed that a Democrat could make so much sense. I flatly told her what I thought of Fetterman—and it wasn’t good. She was a bit defensive that she was only trying to tell me she liked at least one Democrat. I wish I’d thought to tell her if he actually embraced the values of the party, he wouldn’t be on interviewed on Faux News, but I also wanted to diffuse the conversation quickly so I could get her out of my house.

Conor Lamb.

Democrats are trying to figure out what to do about John Fetterman. One of them is stepping up

ENOLA, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania isn’t even up for reelection until 2028, but already a one-time primary foe, former U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, is crisscrossing Pennsylvania and social media, looking and sounding like he’s preparing to challenge Fetterman again.

At town hall after town hall across Pennsylvania, Democrats and allied progressive groups aren’t hearing from Fetterman in person — or Republicans who control Washington, for that matter.

But they are hearing from Lamb, a living reminder of the Democrat they could have elected instead of Fetterman. The former congressman has emerged as an in-demand town hall headliner, sometimes as a stand-in for Fetterman — who just might bash Fetterman.

Democrats are frustrated with Fetterman
Lamb’s reemergence comes at an in-between moment, roughly halfway through Fetterman’s six-year term, and is helping define the struggle facing Democrats in swing-state Pennsylvania.

70. The word for today is "lick-spittle."

Can you say "lick-spittle?" I know you can.

76. Stroke changed him? Doubtful. I know it has

happened to others, but his change? I think he was hit with the age old threat/reward offer. Prolly more threat than reward.

83. I knew he was a phony

When I saw the hoodie and shorts.

85. To be a Democrat is to understand that there are no absolutes in the world.

Instead, you use the same litmus tests based on concepts of human decency and fairness. What could be called a balanced morality test. The reality is that Trump is using this distraction from bringing attention to the fact he's a pedophile. The fact is that Iran was not about to attack before Trump started this mess. The fact is that we have a loon in the Oval Office and the Republican led Congress if failing to take their obligations seriously.

86. I don't think he's too old to resign and join the military. Flufferman should show the world that he supports

the military more than anyone else.

110. He is, and he's quite ill.

[Autumn]

[mr715]

There is nothing that outweighs the bigotry and evil of Iran's Islamic Republic regime. Any time they appear in a discussion of the lesser of two evils, the Islamic Republic is always the greater. They're murderous, theocratic, patriarchal, homophobic bigots. It's just a fact. They hang women.

It would mystify me that any liberal or progressive would believe they have reason to dispute that simple, obvious moral fact. Such a position is completely against our charter. Completely.

104. Six years is a long time to elect someone

who does not represent. A mean trick on people.

121. I never fully trusted the big doofus.

I was glad he beat Oz, but his about face doesn’t surprise me. I call him Fettermanchin.

122. How do you keep from gagging when your face is near Trump's rump Fetterman?

[Doodley]

126. Why hasn't he already been expelled from the party?

138. This asshole will be unemployed soon

and his new republican friends will not help him out. I see this shmuck on public assistance in the near future.
