Congressman Pat Ryan (D-NY): "If you needed any more proof that Fetterman has completely abandoned his constituents, here it is. Pennsylvanians deserve a Senator that actually fights for them." Congressman Pat Ryan (D-NY)

Former Rep. Conor Lamb, who was Fetterman's top Democratic primary opponent in 2022 and has remained critical of him: "Did people think this vigilante was voting to protect their rights? Come on."

Moe Davis, an unsuccessful 2020 North Carolina congressional candidate, even apologized to former donors for sharing his donor list with the Fetterman campaign: "I sincerely regret whatever part I had in helping to elect [John Fetterman] in 2022."

As I have written before, corporate, status quo, and AIPAC-recipients in Congress want to "fix" DHS and ICE, while genuine progressives want to rightfully scrap America's Gestapo.

On a Capitol Hill where being a jerk is practically a job requirement, Fetterman stands out: consostent as a jerk, sure, but totally unreliable otherwise.

I'm not a fan of Sen Fetterman but it's not up to the party if he stays or goes it's up to the people who vote for him. If the party wants him gone they need to run a better candidate, it shouldn't be very hard.

No, sane. He pushed to have Noem removed and a better replacement nominated to replace her. He got what he asked for on both counts, so he supports the Mullin nomination. That is peak sanity.

For that to be peak sanity,

you have to think the shooting of Pretti itself was insane.

But you think the shooting of Pretti was justified.

Something mentally seems to be off about Fetterman. Like he is not quite all there. I am no longer certain he is even mentally stable enough to continue as a senator.

He looks like a divorced dad who lost everything in the divorce.

Get some decent clothing dude.

And a clue on how to be a team player.

We need people who will stand up to republicans. No cooperation any more. Time to stop playing footsie with facists.

He deserves to be primaried for undermining democrats.

It's risky for either party to attempt to primary a sitting senator. But....if you feel as if losing the seat to a republican is basically what you have now....then so be it.

Fetterman went from +18 to -40 in his favorability since his shift to the GOP.

Then it's a very risky move to primary him unless you're sure you can win.

OpEd: John Fetterman Is Historically Unpopular, Brutal Polls Show
www.yahoo.com

... When Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was elected in 2023, the Democratic Party thought it might have a new kind of leader.

The gruff, hoodie-wearing Fetterman was able to win over the working class in the country's most important swing state and defeat his Republican challenger, Mehmet Oz, despite suffering a stroke in the middle of the campaign.

As it turns out, the Democratic establishment was right -- just not in the way they thought.

Since Fetterman's election, his net approval with Pennsylvania Democrats has dropped 108 points, from +68 in 2023 to -40 in 2026, as CNN's Harry Enten reported Friday.

"He's down there with the Titanic," Enten said. "There's no historical analog to his unpopularity."...

John Fetterman's Net Approval Dropped By More Than 100 Points Since His Election In Pennsylvania

... Democratic Senator John Fetterman has seen his approval level plummet by more than 100 points since he was elected three years ago, according to a new report.

"There's no historical analog to his unpopularity," CNN's Harry Enten said when describing the senator's current approval levels. "There's no historical analog to his unpopularity," he added.

Enten went on to detail that Fetterman's popularity among Democrats is worse than all sitting senators who lost their primary election this century. And several Pennsylvania Democrats are already angling for his ouster.

Some began making louder calls after Fetterman's vote to advance Markwayne Mullin's nomination to become the next Department of Homeland Security secretary.

"Once again Sen Fetterman shows why he is Trump's favorite Democrat. He needs to go," said Rep. Brendan Boyle, who also represents Pennsylvania, last week. Axios detailed that he is rumored as a potential primary challenger of Fetterman, and while he has criticized him in the past, it is the first time he calls for his removal.

The outlet went on to note that Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, also representing Pennsylvania, had urged her constituents to call Fetterman's office and ask him to oppose the nomination. She reacted to the development at a town hall on Thursday, saying he has "more success" working with the other side of the aisle. ...

Of course they want him out, as unlike all the liberal dem politicians, Fetterman actually displays common sense.

"Common sense" within the penumbra of having long since lost the map, a condition seemingly required of all who transition into MAGAtry.

-Was Sen Fetterman a MAGA false flag plant among Democrats?

you're saying democrats are too dumb to figure anything out?

Or....could it be that you really have no tolerance for a moderate?

which is more likely to be true.

A. The democratic party can't sniff out a "MAGA false plant" in a candidate for the US Senate
B. The Drudge retort has some members who cry about anything that doesn't go their way and accuses any democrat of really being a MAGA should they not vote entirely the way they want.
