West Virginia is right wing. And Manchin is an attention whore. Fetterman was always pro Israel but the other things have more to do with how his state voted.

Gabbard was known to be right wing and anti gay. She switched to Democrat becsuse that's the only way she could win.

Sinema had a history of switching parties.

All of this was known. There is nothing secret or needing additional vetting with this.

More concerning is how people continued and even now continue to push Gabbard and her fucking conspiracy theories about the democratic party.
