Fetterman on pager attack in Lebanon: 'If anything, I love it' [View all]

[tritsofme]

Sen. John Fetterman said he supports Israel’s recent pager attack on Hezbollah, adding that “if anything,” he loves it.

“I want to be very clear, I thought what Israel chose to do about blowing up the pagers and walkie talkies and after targeting and eliminating membership and leadership of Hezbollah, I absolutely support that,” Fetterman (D-Pa.) said. “In fact, if anything, I love it.”

Israel detonated Hezbollah walkie talkies and pagers last week in remote attacks that killed at least 32 people and injured more than 3,000. Hezbollah on Sunday launched dozens of rockets at an Israeli airbase. U.S. officials said the pager attacks were likely to escalate tensions — and could even cause an all-out war.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has been a strong critic of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the war in Gaza, recently said of the attacks on the Senate floor that Netanyahu was sabotaging a cease-fire deal with the pager attack….

When asked if he agreed with anything the Vermont senator said in the clip, Fetterman said, “No, not at all.”

Fetterman has quickly become my favorite senator over the last few years!

Incredibly proud to have his voice in the Senate.

He also happens to be 100% correct here, no surprise.
