Fetterman on the Border: 'Chaos, Unacceptable'
By Ward Clark | 2:48 PM on June 02, 2025
Many of us never would have guessed it all that long ago, but Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) seems to be becoming one of the few sane voices in the Democratic Party, even if he does generally walk around dressed like he's headed to the gym. He's vocally pro-Israel, regularly takes verbal shots at Hamas supporters, and now, in a forum on border security, he called out his own party.
Both Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman and GOP Sen. Dave McCormick spoke in a bipartisan forum about the importance of border security, with Fetterman going so far as to call out his own party on the issue.
"I've kind of, I've lost some support in my party. I thought the border was really important, and our party did not handle the border appropriately," Fetterman told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream during a FOX Nation presentation of The Senate Project series on Monday.
"Look at the numbers, 267,000, 300,000 people showing up at our border. And, you know, we can all agree that's roughly the size of Pittsburgh. Now, that's unacceptable. And that's a national security issue. And that's chaos. So a secure border, being very pro-immigration, that's who I am as a Democrat."
