Sen. Fetterman breaks ranks, admits the truth about Democrats' radical position on the anti-ICE riots



Numerous Democratic politicians have in recent days returned to their summer 2020 strategy of characterizing violent leftist riots as peaceful protest and President Donald Trump's desire to restore order as both escalatory and authoritarian.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, among the standouts in his party who previously refused to join progressives in attacking Israel in the wake of the 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks, proved willing once again to call out his colleagues for their radical approach.

The trend

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed a number of lawful operations last week in California. Democrats were quick to demonize the federal agents and frame their operations as illegitimate.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, for instance, accused ICE agents of sowing "terror" and stressed that the city would "not stand for this."

California U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla followed suit, stating that the "ICE raids across Los Angeles today are a continuation of a disturbing pattern of extreme and cruel immigration enforcement operations across the country" and demanding "accountability for today's actions."

'This is a wake up call for many Democrats.'

While Democrats vilified ICE, similarly minded radicals took to the streets, attacking police and federal agents, blockading major thoroughfares, setting fires across the city, and looting downtown businesses.

At the outset, Fetterman's comrades were largely silent on the matter, even as police were being brutalized by foreign flag-waving radicals. However, when President Donald Trump called up the National Guard on Saturday and deemed the rioters "troublemakers and insurrectionists," Democrats decided chaos was, actually, a problem — but a problem attributable primarily to Trump.

Bass, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Massachusetts Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey were among the Democrats who blamed Trump and his administration for the violence and unrest.

The exception

Fetterman suggested in a message on Monday that Democrats' failure to condemn the violent and destructive acts committed by the rioters in Los Angeles was not only immoral but a self-own.

"I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration — but this is not that," wrote Fetterman in a message accompanying a photograph of a rioter standing atop a destroyed car and waving a Mexican flag while nearby other wrecks burned. "This is anarchy and true chaos."

"My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement," added Fetterman.

While poorly received by unhinged partisans like podcaster Keith Olbermann, Republicans welcomed the insight.

"Well said," responded Alabama Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R).

Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wrote, "It's hard to preach hard truths to your own side. I respect this."

Elon Musk responded with an American flag emoji.

Deputy White House chief of staff Taylor Budowich seized upon Fetterman's tweet as a strong indicator to similarly sensible Democrats that their party may have left them behind.

"This is a wake up call for many Democrats: there is no room for you in the party of @GavinNewsom and @KamalaHarris," wrote Budowich. "Their self-obsessed pursuits of power are blind to you and your concerns. They defend chaos, reject biology, and are unbothered by the invasion of our nation."

Critics lay into Fetterman for attacking Pennsylvanians who didn't vote Democrat



Days after he unwittingly nudged Joe Rogan farther toward an endorsement of President-elect Donald Trump, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) found a group of constituents to scapegoat for the consequential defeat of one of his fellow Democrats.

Rather than admit the weakness of his comrades' pitch to Americans or acknowledge that Republicans simply did a better job overall, Fetterman belittled Green Party voters for fulfilling their civic duty.

Fetterman jumped on X to complain after Republican David McCormick successfully ousted Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, giving the GOP an even greater majority in the U.S. Senate with at least 53 seats.

First, he took aim at the Associated Press for calling the race for McCormick, writing, "@AP_Politics shouldn't make a call in this race until every Pennsylvanian has their vote counted."

As it became clear that the Associated Press was not budging and the race might not fall within recount territory, Fetterman lashed out at those who would dare upset the Democrats' political ambitions.

"Pennsylvania is going to count every last vote," tweeted Fetterman. "That's not controversial — that's the law. Also, Green dips***s' votes helping elect the GOP."

'Probably not the smartest choice.'

Accompanying the senator's tweet was an image highlighting the number of votes Green Party candidate Leila Hazou received. At the time of writing, the Associated Press indicated that with 98% of the votes counted, Hazou, a Palestinian activist with an apparent problem with white men, netted 64,127 votes, amounting to 0.9% of the total. John Thomas, the Libertarian candidate whom Fetterman apparently overlooked, secured 1.3% of the vote.

Fetterman evidently figured that without Hazou in the race, those votes would necessarily have gone to Casey, who lost by roughly 0.5%.

Fetterman's tweet served as yet another reminder of how little Democrats think of Americans who support parties other than their own.

Back in 2008, Barack Obama suggested that working-class voters in Pennsylvania and the Midwest who were ambivalent about supporting him in his first bid for the presidency were "bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment." Years later, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called her 2016 opponent's supporters "irredeemable" "deplorables." Weeks ago, President Joe Biden called Trump supporters "garbage."

The Democratic senator's "dips****" comment this week was not well received.

Elon Musk wrote, "Calling Green voters 'dips****' is not a great way to win them over."

Scott Presler, the conservative activist who worked diligently in recent months to turn out the vote for Trump in the Keystone State, responded, "I think Green Party voters are going to remember you calling them names when you're running for re-election. Probably not the smartest choice. We'll be sure to remind them."

"Cope Fetterlump," wrote one X user."

YouTuber David Freiheit, known under his online pseudonym "Viva Frei," noted, "What a f***ing idiot. Instead of understanding why Dems are losing, they call the people whose support then want 'dips****.' Hey dumb***, maybe don't adopt the rhetoric of the very same Tim Walz dips*** who just caused your demonic party to suffer the most devastating defeat since Mondale. Dips***."

While keen to blame Green Party voters, Fetterman may have done more political damage overall with his pre-election interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience," where he struggled to provide satisfactory answers to the host's questions about Democrats' exploitation of the border crisis.

After his win, McCormick indicated that he was "honored and excited to represent EVERY Pennsylvanian."

The Associated Press indicated when calling the race that even if Casey carried six out of 10 of the remaining votes, he still would not win. Nevertheless, Casey has yet to concede his defeat.

The defeated Democrat said in a statement Thursday evening, "We must allow that process to play out and ensure that every vote that is eligible to be counted will be counted. That is what Pennsylvania deserves."

Joe Rogan questions Sen. Fetterman about scheme to use illegal aliens to 'rig' swing states for Democrats



Tens of millions of illegal aliens have stolen into the U.S. since January 2021, killing citizens, tracking in lethal drugs and once-controlled diseases, siphoning taxpayer-funded welfare benefits, displacing schoolchildren, and in some cases, threatening the integrity of American elections.

Rather than take ownership for the deadly crisis, border czar Kamala Harris has repeatedly blamed President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers for the failure of the so-called "bipartisan" border bill, which Democrats have memorialized as a kind of would-be panacea.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) did his best to amplify this narrative on the Saturday episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," but the titular host made clear he wasn't buying what the senator was selling. Rogan suggested that Democrats aren't looking for a solution to the border crisis but are instead using the border crisis to solve their problem of incomplete political control.

'You're rigging the system.'

When discussing the matter of immigration, Fetterman told Rogan, "Democrats are saying, 'Hey though, we need a secure border, we — you know — it's a significant issue.' And if I thought there was any kinds of issues and I've been very vigilant throughout, I've been actively involved in those kinds of things, and I've never witnessed those kinds of a thing."

"What do you mean by 'issues?'" said Rogan. "Like, what kind of issues are you talking about? You're talking about people letting people in, in order to get votes?"

"Well, it's not, there's not that level kinds. I don't think there's that level of kinds of organization," responded the senator.

Rogan balked at the suggestion that the crisis underway is not courtesy of some coordinated efforts, stating:

But there is a [level of] organization that's moving these people to swing states. There is a significant number of these people that are illegal immigrants that have made their way to swing states. And then there's been calls for amnesty. There's been calls for allowing these people to have a pathway to citizenship and allow them to vote. The fear that a lot of people have is that this is a coordinated effort to take these people that you're allowing to come into the country, then you're providing them with all sorts of services like food stamps and housing and setting them up, and then providing a pathway to amnesty. And then you would have voters that would be significantly voting towards the Democrats because they're the people that enabled them to come into the country in the first place, first place and provided them with those services.

"This is a big fear that people have," added Rogan, "that you're rigging the system and that this will turn all these states into essentially locked-blue like California is."

This fear was recently expressed by Elon Musk, who noted on his social media platform, "The Dems have imported massive numbers of illegals to swing states. Triple digit increases over the past 4 years! Their STATED plan is to give them citizenship as soon as possible, turning all swing states Dem. America would then become a one-party, deep blue socialist state."

Musk was referencing data that suggested the Biden-Harris administration was flooding red states with inadmissible migrants under the Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela program.

'The apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College among the states is based on total population — not citizenship or legal status.'

Rogan's suggestion left Fetterman stammering. After re-centering himself with the defeatist suggestion, "Immigration is always going to be a tough issue in our nation," the senator proceeded to recycle Harris' suggestion that the "bipartisan" border bill was a step in the right direction but was ultimately tripped up by Trump.

"They had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border, bipartisan [bill] and that went down because Trump, he declared that, that, that's, that's a bad deal after it was negotiated with the other side," said Fetterman, glossing over Democrats' rejection of the robust Secure the Border Act of 2023 from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) just months earlier.

Having evidently looked into the specifics of the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, H. R. 815, Rogan responded, "But didn't that deal also involve amnesty? And didn't that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year? I think it was 2 million people."

Blaze News previously reported that the bill included emergency authority provisions that would enable the federal government to shut down the border if the average number of illegal alien encounters reached between 4,000 and 5,000 per day for seven consecutive days. Over 1.4 million illegal aliens could therefore steal into the country without triggering a clamp down.

"So it was still the same sort of situation," continued Rogan. "Their fear is exactly what I talked about: that these people will be moved to swing states and that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever."

When Fetterman attempted to dive back into empty rhetoric, Rogan intimated that it only took Republicans tens of thousands of votes across several counties to win certain states in 2016, so tens of millions of illegal aliens, strategically placed then rendered loyal to Democrats with handouts and amnesty, could "rig those states undeniably."

Steven Camarota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, noted in a recent op-ed that illegal aliens don't necessarily have to vote to impact American elections.

The apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College among the states is based on total population — not citizenship or legal status. The Census Bureau is clear that naturalized citizens, as well as non-citizens such as green card holders, foreign students, guestworkers and illegal immigrants are captured in the census every 10 years.

Accordingly, political operatives playing the long game need only deluge blue states with illegal aliens to increase their representation in Congress and the Electoral College.

Because the legal and illegal immigrant population is so large and unevenly distributed across the country, it causes some states to gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and Electoral College at the expense of others.

A Center for Immigration Studies investigation revealed last week that the inclusion of legal and illegal immigrants in the 2020 census shifted 17 House seats.

Fetterman told Rogan, "Immigration is changing our nation," stressing that it is "generally for a good thing."

DeSantis says Biden 'not cognitively capable' of executing presidential duties



Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has suggested that President Joe Biden is not mentally fit to carry out the duties of the presidency.

"Biden's painful debate performance left an indelible mark with voters: it is clear that he is not cognitively capable of discharging the duties of the presidential office," DeSantis declared in a post on X. "The media knew this and so the cries to replace Biden now are not because of a principled objection to a cognitively-impaired president but simply because they know he will lose the election."

Earlier this year, after a lackluster performance in the Republican Iowa caucuses, DeSantis dropped out of the Republican presidential primary and endorsed former President Donald Trump.

GOP Rep. Chip Roy of Texas has put forward a resolution pressing for Vice President Kamala Harris to seek to use the 25th Amendment to have Biden declared incapable of executing the duties of the presidency.

Even the New York Times editorial board has indicated that Biden should bow out of the race.

But Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has continued to unflinchingly support Biden's re-election bid in the wake of the president's widely-panned debate performance against former President Donald Trump.

"I refuse to join the Democratic vultures on Biden's shoulder after the debate. No one knows more than me that a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record," Fetterman tweeted.

"Republicans are eager to campaign with a convicted felon without hesitation. But some Democrats are 'freaking out' over one rough debate, fueling a bulls[***] narrative. I've been proud to campaign with Biden then + I’m proud to keep doing it," he declared in another post.

Senate Democrats rally behind Biden in spite of disastrous debate performance



Shortly before her death, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) asked, "Where am I going?" as she was wheeled back into the Senate. Even though her handlers had to audibly instruct the nonagenarian left partially paralyzed by a bad case of shingles to "just say aye" during votes, Feinstein's colleagues appeared unconcerned about the ethics of carting her around to advance their agenda.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), for instance, said that with Feinstein back, "Anything we do in the Senate that requires a majority is now within reach."

Just as Democratic senators were happy to squeeze a sickly old woman in a compromised mental state for her remaining votes, they are ostensibly trying to keep President Joe Biden's campaign alive in hopes of political advantage.

Besides their understanding that Biden cannot be replaced on the Democratic ticket ahead of the election unless he decides to step down, Senate Democrats appear to be trying to prop up the ruins of his campaign because he still might be their best shot at holding on to power. Vice President Kamala Harris is, for instance, even more disliked than Biden. Besides, a competitive open convention could further tear the Democratic Party apart, tipping the election more for Republicans.

In the aftermath of the first presidential debate — while the liberal mainstream media was hurriedly acknowledging the decrepitude they had suggested for years was an invention of the right — Democrats like Sen. Ben Cardin (Md.) began spinning Biden as a viable candidate, reported the Hill.

"Joe Biden might have had a bad evening, but we don't want four bad years under Donald Trump," Cardin told reporters in Washington, D.C., Friday. "Obviously we were all looking forward to a more — I guess — energetic approach."

'Chill the f*** out.'

"But from the substance, I think the American people recognize they have a choice between a person who understands the importance of our democratic system, understands the importance of the issues that he has pursued over the last four years, his record … versus a person on the other side who continues to make things up and wouldn’t respond to simple questions," added Cardin. "To me it's a clear choice that we need to make sure President Biden is re-elected as president of the United States."

While the debate made clear to many Americans that Biden's cognitive faculties are potentially disqualifying, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) drew a different conclusion, writing, "Tonight's debate made the choice clear: Four more years of progress, or four more years of attacks on our fundamental rights and our democracy. We've got to get out the vote for @JoeBiden, @KamalaHarris, and a Democratic Senate and House!"

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) compared his post-stroke debate performance with Biden's post-youth debate performance, stressing on X that "a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record."

Fetterman noted further that he had been written off following the debate but came back to win by a comfortable margin. "Chill the f*** out," he instructed his fellow Democrats.

When asked Sunday by NBC News' "Meet the Press" whether Biden should drop out of the race, Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock said, "Absolutely not," intimating that he himself had bungled enough sermons as a preacher to warrant cutting Biden some slack.

"Bad debates happen, as President Obama has said. And this was 90 minutes," said Warnock.

Unwilling to admit Biden's decline, Warnock opted instead to paint the president as a paragon of virtue and stress the need to keep former President Donald Trump out of the White House.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) echoed his Democratic peers, stating, "This is election is about more than one night's debate performance."

Blumenthal claimed that while in France, he observed the president to be "strong and eloquent." He also downplayed the possibility of another Democratic candidate, emphasizing, "I continue to support Joe Biden over Donald Trump without any reservation, and I think that's the choice for the American people."

The Hill noted that Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.) made clear that he and his Democratic colleagues, who will all serve as superdelegates at the Democratic National Convention, will back Biden unless he calls it quits.

"I thought President Biden started off not with the enthusiasm, etc., necessary but it's a difference between a bad initial debate and a very bad presidency, which Donald Trump can claim — and also a much worse presidency going forward," said Reed.

Sen. John Fetterman says he and his wife are doing well after vehicle accident



Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and his wife Gisele Barreto Fetterman were involved in an auto accident on Sunday but are doing well, the lawmaker noted.

"You might have heard G and I were in a car accident yesterday. Thank you all for the well wishes. Not the best way to spend our 16th wedding anniversary but we're doing well and happy to be back home in Braddock with the family," the senator noted in a post on X.

'You got an F for this anniversary.'

In a video, Fetterman noted that he was using frozen peas and Tylenol.

"You got an F for this anniversary," Gisele tweeted in response to the senator's post, adding an upside-down smiley face emoji.

Reports indicate that according to Maryland State Police, Fetterman was driving a Chevrolet Traverse that hit a Chevrolet Impala.

Fetterman "was treated for a bruised shoulder," a spokesperson for his office told KDKA-TV.

Fetterman suffered a stroke in 2022 shortly before winning a Democratic U.S. Senate primary.

Last year, the senator checked into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to undergo treatment for clinical depression — he was discharged more than a month later.

The senator has been outspoken in supporting Israel and condemning Hamas in the wake of the October 7 attack during which terrorists committed atrocities.

"Stop pretending Hamas has any interest in true peace. I remain standing with Israel in its right to eradicate Hamas and strongly reject any international pressure, interference, or commentary," he declared in a tweet earlier this month.

Whoopi Goldberg’s latest Trump tirade is, well, embarrassing



“The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg should’ve stuck to acting and left the political commentary to those with common sense.

“Play a scene from ‘Sister Act,’” Jaco Booyens tells Sara Gonzales. “That was her best moment, and then it went downhill from there.”

But Sara thinks Goldberg’s latest Trump tirade is worth watching (even if only for giggles).

On a recent episode of “The View,” which Jaco says was “written by the Democratic Party,” Goldberg went on an embarrassing tirade about all the horrible things Donald Trump — “the dictator” — would inevitably do should he win the 2024 election.

“People's faith in the country is waning; that's the thing that's pissing me off,” she began, ignorantly adding that Joe Biden is “running for democracy,” which is “really what's at stake.”

However, “if the other guy becomes president,” she continued in reference to Donald Trump, people will have to worry about being put in “some camp somewhere.”

“That's his promise to us — he's going to force people to do his bidding. That’s what he said; ‘I’m gonna be good on day one, and then I’m gonna turn into some other person.”’

Of course, her words are ludicrous, as Trump has never uttered such a ridiculous statement.

But Goldberg wasn’t finished. She also had some things to say about our immigration problem.

Illegal immigrants are “coming here for a reason because they're living in a place that's not good for their families. If you're okay with that and you understand that, then fight for us to find a better way to make immigration work ... Don't fight for keeping everybody out because then we all have to leave,” she ranted.

To clarify, Biden is pro-democracy, Trump is going to put people he doesn’t like in camps, and if we don’t support open borders, then we’re all going to be forced to leave America.

“She’s talking about rounding people up in camps,” laughs Sara. “Your guy is the guy who's weaponized the entire FBI and DOJ against half of the country. You've got the FBI ... putting families at gunpoint because a pro-life ...You're throwing people in prison for decades because they waved an American flag in the capital and walked out and left non-violently.”

Sen. John Fetterman says he's 'not a progressive'



Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has said that he is "not a progressive," according to NBC News.

"I just think I'm a Democrat that is very committed to choice and other things. But with Israel, I'm going to be on the right side of that. And immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well," he said, according to the outlet.

Fetterman has expressed support for Israel's right to eliminate Hamas. "For peace & a 2-state solution, Hamas must be destroyed & I fully support Israel's right to do that," he has noted.

— (@)

According to Politico, Fetterman has said, "I hope Democrats can understand that it isn’t xenophobic to be concerned about the border."

He has also been calling for Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey to be expelled from office.

Last year, when NBC News' Dasha Burns asked Fetterman if he is a progressive, the candidate answered, "No," describing himself as a Democrat who runs on that which thinks and knows is true. He added that six years prior, it would have been viewed as progressive, but now it's "just where the party is."

— (@)

But in a 2020 tweet, Fetterman described himself as a "progressive Democrat."

In a video posted on Monday, Fetterman declared that he would do everything within his power to block the planned sale of U.S. Steel to a foreign company. "Steel is always about security," he said, noting that he will "fight for the steelworkers and their union way of life."

Fetterman suffered a stroke last year while running for Senate. He took office in January of this year and later sought treatment for clinical depression.

Fetterman reportedly calls September border encounters figure 'astonishing,' says concern about border is not xenophobic



As large numbers of migrants inundate America's southern border and Republicans are demanding to address the issue as a condition for approving a package that includes Ukraine and Israel aid and more, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has reportedly opined that it is not xenophobic to have concern about the border.

"I hope Democrats can understand that it isn't xenophobic to be concerned about the border,” Fetterman said, according to Politico. "It's a reasonable conversation, and Democrats should engage."

The senator noted the almost 270,000 southwest land border encounters for September reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, according to the outlet. "Honestly, it's astonishing. And this isn't a Fox News kind of statistic. This is the government's," he noted. "You essentially have Pittsburgh showing up there at the border." The statistic came in just shy of 241,000 for the month of October.

Fetterman described himself as "perhaps the most pro-immigration member of the Senate," according to the outlet.

"I haven't met anyone that can have a really crisp, cogent solution or easy solution on, 'Well, what do you do when you have roughly a city similar in size of Pittsburgh coming up to the border?'" he said, according to Politico.

Fetterman has been outspoken in supporting Israel's right to destroy Hamas.

"For peace & a 2-state solution, Hamas must be destroyed & I fully support Israel's right to do that. It has been proven that Hamas used the hospital as part of their terror network, this blood is on their hands. Hamas is anathema for the peace, Palestinians deserve better," he noted in a tweet last month.

'Hamas is anathema for the peace': Fetterman says he supports Israel's right to destroy the terror group



Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has indicated that he stands firmly behind Israel's right to destroy Hamas and that doing so is requisite for achieving peace.

"For peace & a 2-state solution, Hamas must be destroyed & I fully support Israel's right to do that. It has been proven that Hamas used the hospital as part of their terror network, this blood is on their hands. Hamas is anathema for the peace, Palestinians deserve better," Fetterman noted in a Monday tweet. "Hamas must release the hostages now. We need more humanitarian aid in Gaza to meet the substantial need. We need to minimize the suffering and the tragic loss of civilian life. We do not need any conditions on military aid to Israel," he also noted.

— (@)

Hamas perpetrated unspeakable atrocities in the Jewish state last month, slaughering, killing, and raping. Israel has declared that it aims to eliminate Hamas.

"I grieve for every innocent person and brave Israeli soldier killed since Hamas started this war. If not for the horrific attacks by Hamas terrorists, thousands of innocent Israelis and Palestinians would still be alive today," Fetterman said in a statement last month. "Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in their efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women, and children. Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized."

The senator has been displaying posters at his office to highlight the individuals taken captive by Hamas terrorists. "They will stay up until every single person is safely returned home," he has noted.
