Senator John Fetterman
@SenFettermanPA
Other Middle Eastern nations should push for Hamas to surrender and release all of the hostages.
Hamas started this war and it’s over when Hamas is finished.

Fetterman is absolutely right on this.  For being a liberal he continues to surprise me.

He's far left on every issue, but he does seem to want Israel to prevail.

I like the new and improved Festerman 2.0 v. the old one.

I reject this warped judgement—“affected” by Oct. 7th?
Kids, women, elderly: raped, tortured, killed or taken hostage. Hamas even videotaped it, yet the UN won't condemn them.
The “betrayal of humanity” belongs to Hamas & the UN’s unwillingness to even condemn those atrocities.

There are a number of Gabbard, RFK, like dims that are surfacing there to fool conservatives.

Trust none of them.

I'm not sure he's really a liberal at this point...based on his prior behavior when he was Lieutenant Governor here in Pennsylvania, in which he hung a marijuana flag over the balcony outside his office, I'm starting to think that he's actually one of those rare "libertarian" Democrats of the 1960s-1970s vintage.  I dunno....he's certainly changed his spots ever since his stroke.

Interesting take on him

He is certainly not a leftist in the mold of the “The Squad.”

I can't help it, in that picture Fetterman looks like a preacher ready to give a sermon in the church of Mary Jane. Aside from that I agree that as of late Fetterman is much more agreeable.

   How long before we hear the rumors that he has made the short list for Trumps VP list?  :shrug:

For that matter there aren't a whole lot of proclaimed conservatives that I trust; very few.
