Fetterman Torches His Own 'Anti-American' Party — and He's Naming Names
By Bob Hoge  | 6:15 AM on May 14, 2026

The case of Pennsylvania Democrat Sen. John Fetterman has been the subject of endless fascination because he’s turned out to be so different from what numerous pundits — and many of his own voters — thought he would be. No, he’s not suddenly on the conservative team, and no, most of his policies aren’t things we’d endorse, and yes, he is still firmly a Democrat at his core.

But all too often lately, he sounds like the only Dem in D.C. who hasn’t lost their mind. Not only has he not performed as the far-left extremist many expected, but he’s also taken to occasionally siding with the GOP on crucial issues while heavily criticizing his comrades.


It’s interesting to me that he’s calling out the dangerous zaniness of the Marxist wing of his party because if even he sees it, you know it must be bad — really bad.

Speaking on The Reason Interview With Nick Gillespie in a video posted Wednesday, Fetterman said it’s not that he has changed so much — it’s that the party around him has morphed into something unrecognizable and has become “increasingly anti-American.”

I would not be the least surprised if Fetterman were to meet with an "untimely" demise in the next couple months.

I don't think Mr. Fetterman can run and win as a dem-communist in Pennsylvania again.

The leftists there will primary him, and probably have a good chance at forcing him off the ticket.

That said, he could try what Joe Lieberman did in Connecticut when leftist Ned Lamont beat him in the dem-com primary a number of years ago -- run as an independent, and win.

Not sure if a "sore loser" law exists in PA that would prohibit one from running as an independent after losing a primary for another party (in this case, the dem-coms). In that case, Mr. Fetterman would have to switch parties before the primary, but I think it still might be possible for him to win if he did so.

I’m case you needed an update, Democrats are going to “protect democracy” by:

1) Removing Supreme Court justices and stacking the court.

2) Eliminating the way we’ve selected presidents since the founding.

3) Adding states, but only states that favor them.

I never thought of that, but sadly, I agree, he needs to watch his back.
