Sen. John Fetterman tells critics he's 'not a progressive': That label left me
Fetterman said the progressive 'label' left him

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., responded to progressive critics suggesting he wasn't exactly who people thought he would be while he was campaigning. He added that the progressive "label" left him.

"I'm not a progressive, I just identified myself as a regular Democrat," Fetterman said, talking to CNN's Dana Bash. "Now, eight years ago, I was a progressive, but the situation's changed and I‘ve been very clear that I didn‘t leave that label. That label leaved
me and I think it’s much more important to be focusing on Donald Trump instead of those kinds of purity tests and those kinds of issues."

The Pennsylvania senator has been a staunch supporter of Israel and has expressed concern for border security, breaking with several members of his party on the issues.

Bash also asked Fetterman to respond to Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who told CNN on Tuesday that President Biden was using the "same tools as Donald Trump" to address border security.

"She's entitled to her own opinion, but it does also seem like some of the harshest words for the president in this situation seems to be more coming from very safe, and blue, very kinds of places. Now in Pennsylvania, border security is an important issue and we do all believe that we should have a secure border, and I never thought it was unreasonable for any Democrat to want to make our border more secure," he said.

Fetterman has said that the progressives in his party, in addition to the right, are hoping he "dies," over his stance on Israel and border security.

It's almost like he got a brain transplant in the hospital.

"Progressive" agenda would put most Pennsylvania workers on the unemployment line.

I see a divorce in Fetterman's near future.

Maybe more in Congress need to suffer a stroke?
