Leaked texts by John Fetterman reveal why many of the Pennsylvania senator’s staffers are reportedly worried: he is increasingly behaving like a Republican.
In January, according to the report, Fetterman sent staffers an article about how annual healthcare costs for a typical working American family are nearly $4,000.
“How should it cost? Free?” he wrote. “I don’t understand what affordability it is.”
Also in January, as the Trump administration was dragging its heels about releasing the Epstein files, Fetterman messaged a staffer: “Epstein was a nothing burger. Worst pics I’ve seen were from Clinton lol.”
Messages obtained by New York Magazine show the Democrat mocking free healthcare, dismissing the Epstein files as a “nothing burger,” and calling Democrats hypocritical for their outrage at the killing of nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Fetterman has been a thorn in his party’s side on a host of issues.
He’s not a thorn in their side.
He’s the rotating villain and he’s useful to them, because they’re conservatives who want excuses as to why they oppose nothing. (And usually that excuse is powerlessness.)
If Dems cared, they’d be making his life a living hell, same as Donald does to Republicans who disagree with him. Even if you can’t vote someone out you still have power over them.
I agree. Look at how much dust Republicans throw up when they don’t have any “power”. Nothing gets done.
The dems either never notice, or just dont care.
