John Fetterman Breaks With Democrats To Back Trump’s Bombing Of Iran
'Fetterman being the lone Democrat to buck his party'
On Tuesday, 25 Democratic senators released separate videos parroting the same script slamming President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
In the morning, Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) were mocked by X users for posting videos reciting near-identical lines before Trump's first speech to Congress.
'Who is writing the words that the puppets speak?'
However, as the day unfolded, more than two dozen Democratic senators posted similar videos echoing the same script, including Dick Durbin (Ill.), Chris Coons (Del.), Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Tammy Duckworth (Ill.), Tim Kaine (Va.), Chris Van Hollen (Md.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Peter Welch (Vt.), Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), Martin Heinrich (N.M.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Brian Schatz (Hawaii), Andy Kim (N.J.), Alex Padilla (Calif.), Mark Warner (Va.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Angela Alsobrooks (Md.), Ed Markey (Mass.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.).

The senators' videos matched so closely that many followed the same movements for the introduction: reading the first line before taking a seat to continue reading the remainder of the script.
The video opened with a short clip of Trump vowing to lower the cost of living for Americans beginning on the first day of his presidency.
"S*** that ain't true," all of the Democrats stated. "That's what you just saw."
"Since day one of Donald Trump's presidency, prices are up, not down. Inflation is getting worse, not better. The prices of groceries, gas, housing, eggs, they're all getting more expensive. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has done nothing to lower costs for you," they said with slight variations.
"Instead, he's pardoned violent criminals who beat police officers on January 6," the videos continued, cutting from the senators to show a clip from the protest at the Capitol.
"He's letting Elon Musk take a chainsaw to vital government programs. And then, even worse, giving him access to Americans' most sensitive data — Social Security numbers, tax returns, health care bills," the Democrats stated.
They accused Trump and Musk of firing "thousands of essential workers" and freezing funding for "vital programs."
"Why are they doing this? Trump, Musk, DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] are taking these vital services away from you for one reason only: so they can give tax breaks to their billionaires' club," they added.
"Billionaires win; families lose. And that is the truth," the senators concluded.
Musk fired back at the Democratic senators for repeating the same lines.
"They are all actors reading a script," he wrote on X.
In a separate post, he called the senators "lazy propagandists."
"Who is writing the words that the puppets speak? That's the real question," Musk added.
Republican Senator Mike Lee (Utah) also responded to the controversy.
"It's almost like someone's telling Democrats what to say," Lee wrote.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer, President Donald Trump's pick to head the Department of Labor, cleared a procedural vote Thursday with the help of Senate Democrats, advancing her nomination to the Senate floor.
The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee advanced Chavez-DeRemer's nomination in a 13-9 vote with the support of Democratic Sens. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Tim Kaine of Virginia, and John Hickenlooper of Colorado as well as 10 Republicans.
'As the daughter of a Teamster, Lori Chavez-DeRemer knows the importance of carrying a union card and what it means to grow up in a middle-class household.'
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only GOP senator to vote against Chavez-DeRemer's nomination, citing concerns over her previous support for the PRO Act. Notably, Chavez-DeRemer reversed her position on the PRO Act when Paul pressed her about it in her confirmation hearing.
"This is the question, whether this is sort of a death-bed reversal or whether or not she is truly for this," Paul told reporters after the hearing.
"I'm going to think about her answers and think about whether or not a conversion in this last moment is sincere," Paul added.
Although Chavez-DeRemer received support from several Democrats, not all of them entirely endorsed the nominee.
“I have some concerns … but it just gets worse from here,” Kaine said.
Chavez-DeRemer previously served in Congress, representing Oregon's 5th Congressional District from 2023 to 2025, although she was ousted by her Democratic challenger in November. During her time in office, Chavez-DeRemer was regarded as a more moderate, pro-union Republican, reflecting her swing district.
Chavez-DeRemer additionally secured an endorsement from the Teamsters union, which is the largest union in the United States.
"As the daughter of a Teamster, Lori Chavez-DeRemer knows the importance of carrying a union card and what it means to grow up in a middle-class household,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement.
“Working people need someone with her experience leading the agency that is tasked with protecting workers, creating good union jobs, and rebuilding our nation’s middle class," O'Brien added. "The Teamsters are grateful to President Trump for putting American workers first by nominating Rep. Chavez-DeRemer to this important role.”

Donald Trump’s buyout offer to two million federal workers as part of his initiative to return to in-person work has Democrats scared. If government employees take the offer, that means their precious bureaucracy will shrink.
One Democrat who’s literally begging federal workers to resist the offer is Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.). Like most Democrats, he’s built his argument on the stale premise of “Trump is a liar.”
“My message to federal employees who received this is, yeah, the president has tried to terrorize you for about a week and then gives you a little sweetheart offer — if you resign in the next week, we're just going to pay you for doing nothing for the next seven months. Don’t be fooled! He's tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign, he'll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors,” Kaine said.
Mark Levin, however, says Kaine is the only one who’s lying.
“It's a generous offer,” he says of Trump’s buyout plan.
Further, working for the bureaucracy is already an abuse of the system.
“If you go into government at the age of 25, you can retire at 45. A lot of people do, and then they work for defense contractors or other federal employees, so that's what they call double dipping, and you get medical coverage for the rest of your life” as well as a pension that matches wherever your salary topped out, Levin explains. “That's why a lot of people go into the government.”
Many of these federal workers, he says, are just “moving paper” but nonetheless reap the “enormous” benefits of working for the bureaucracy.
For example, “Maybe they'll live in Maryland, which is a fairly high tax state,” and as soon as they retire, “they move to a no-income tax state,” he says, adding that “Florida is filled with local, state, and federal bureaucrats who have retired.”
“It’s kind of perverse when you really think about it,” says Levin.
He then tells a story about being confronted at a local diner by one of these individuals — a former New York teacher who moved to Florida following his retirement and then had the audacity to condemn the state’s conservative leadership.
“I let this son of a b**** have it,” says Levin. To hear the story, watch the clip above.
