Senator John Fetterman has signaled that he could reach a breaking point with the Democratic Party if Senator Chris Van Hollen is elected to Senate majority leader.
Fetterman, who has repeatedly clashed with members of his own party over Israel, suggested that Van Hollen’s potential leadership appointment would be troubling because of his criticism of the Israeli government.
Asked by Kayleigh McEnany during a Fox News interview on Saturday whether Van Hollen becoming majority leader would represent a red line that could prompt him to leave the Democratic Party, Fetterman responded: “Yeah, absolutely, it would be troubling if my caucus elects someone like Van Hollen, that has really made his name being very…hostile to Israel.”
Edit: I tell you this has been a bit of a difficult thread to have posted. Because every time there’s a reply I click my inbox and it feels like I’m being abused before I take a second to remember oh they’re talking to fetterman not me.
Sounds like an endorsement for Van Hollen. You get Van Hollen AND Fetterman leaves the party.
In other news, Fetterman remains in stable condition after being hit in the buttocks by a closing door.
Fuck you, you irrelevant piece of shit.
Party traitor announces he’s reallllyyyy gunna start being a traitor if dems kick out their controlled opposition leader.
You are awesome!
(Saw your edit OP)
Get the fuck out of my party, you braindead, ugly piece of shit! Too bad the stroke didn’t kill you!
Fuck off Fetterman.
Troubling? It’s one of the only good things I can think of. Also, get fucked Traitor.
Do it to force him to leave the Democratic Party so the Democrats can run a real Democratic candidate in 2028. I guarantee you if Democrats had only won 51 seats then Fetterman would have flipped so the Senate was 50-50 and Vance served as the deciding vote, handing Republicans control. Even if he doesn’t leave, he should absolutely have a primary challenger.
Lookin’ really feral with that beard
If you haven’t watched Jon Stewart’s interview with Fetterman you should.
The man is a husk with no thoughts piloted by an AIPAC representative.
Hey Fetterman get fucked you republican ass pollup. Get fucked as hard as you possibly can you stupid mother fucker.
The rules needs to change for these cloaked asswipes. If you consistently vote against your party and the people who voted for you, the person should lose their seat. If you switch parties in office, get fucked, that should be an immediate dismissal.
If a Republican senator started voting with everything you agree with, would you feel the same way?
It’s just the nature of a republic.
He could be removed from the party at any time.
It’s up to the voters to boot him from his seat though. If they do, sweet. If not, their choice.
Parties are a layer on a representative democracy, not democracy itself. I’m against anything that enshrines party power any more than it already implicitly has.
It’s up to the voters to boot him from his seat though.
(Even if they’re dressed in a Democrat costume lol)
Leaving the party and switching parties are completely different things. He can register as an independent while he is in office. I think it actually is an actionable offense if he does actually sign on to the Republican party while being the registered Democratic representative of his state.
As the saying goes “don’t let the door smack you in the ass on your way out”
