 Pa. GOP senators refused to seat a Democrat and removed Lt. Gov. Fetterman from presiding

HARRISBURG — The new session of the Pennsylvania Senate got off to a chaotic start Tuesday, with Republicans refusing to seat a Democratic senator whose election victory has been certified by state officials.

Amid high emotions and partisan fingerpointing, Republicans also took the rare step of removing the Democratic lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, from presiding over the session. They apparently did so because they did not believe Fetterman was following the rules and recognizing their legislative motions.

Democrats, in turn, responded by refusing to back Sen. Jake Corman (R., Centre) from assuming the chamber’s top leadership position — an unusual maneuver on what is most often a largely ceremonial and bipartisan vote.

Looks like the PA Pubbies finally developed a smidgeon of backbone.
Too bad they didn't have any last November...

No surprise if he didn't follow the rules. Fetterman is a beetle-browed doper and overall ignoramus. I'm reasonably certain he's a cave man.
