Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is on a mission to remake his political image into one that is palatable to a new political state of affairs and recognizes the fact that his home state of Pennsylvania just voted for President-elect Donald Trump.
Fetterman’s latest rebranding effort began with meeting with some of Trump’s more controversial Cabinet nominees, and ended with making a Truth Social account. And in his first post on the platform, sounding more like a Republican than a Democrat, urged Trump to be pardoned for the “bulls**t” hush money case in New York City that allowed the Democratic Party to label Trump a convicted felon on the campaign trail.
“The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both bulls**t, and pardons are appropriate,” Fetterman said in his post. “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division.”
And after his meetings with Trump’s nominees, Fetterman took his flirtations with Trump and MAGA even further. After meeting with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the president-elect’s nominee to be ambassador to the United Nations, Fetterman proudly professed his support for her nomination and said he supported defunding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which has been coopted by Hamas.
