The Pennsylvania senator dismissed the demand for further investigation as “moot.”
Senator John Fetterman appeared not to understand why Democrats want to investigate the deadly strike that killed dozens of Iranian children.
During an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Wednesday night, Fetterman was asked to explain why he hadn’t signed onto a letter from Senate Democrats that questioned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the February 28 strike on Shajarah Tayyebeh, a girls’ primary school miles from Tehran. The strike killed 175 people, many of them young girls.
“Well, because we all agree that it’s a tragedy having the school hit, and we all agree now for an investigation,” Fetterman said. “What I don’t agree with the rest of my colleagues in the House is that it’s a war of choice, or it’s dumb, or all the things my colleagues have described, you know, this operation. I think it’s a good thing, and I support that.”
Fetterman was referring to a line in the letter describing Donald Trump’s military campaign as “a war of choice without Congressional authorization.” The letter did not describe the war as “dumb.”
John Fetterman had medically confirmed brain damage.
Does anyone on any side think this brain-damaged flip-flopper has anything important to say?
The right seems to like a lot what he says, probably consider him one of the “good ones” until it’s time to pair down on who to shoot next.
Can the Democrats sanction and eject this senator? He seems to be a Trumper in disguise.
in disguiseThat would involve actually doing something, and 90% of them are utterly useless.
No, he’s just an honest Democrat.
Senator Sling Blade has been an Israeli tool for years.
If the Democrats were a functioning opposition party, they would have forced Fetterman out when his staffers started reporting his erratic behavior. But Chuck Schumer needs Senators to, “go against him,” and thwart any legitimate opposition the party can muster, so we let this brain damaged, mentally ill man occupy one of fhe highest positions of power in the nation.
“dozens” is a really weird way of spelling “over a hundred”.
It is, indeed.
FFS, even saying a “dozen dozens“ would be underselling the actual death toll of that particular war crime.
The world honestly would be a (slightly) better place if that stroke was just a smidge more fatal…
I say John Fetterman is an amoralic peice of shit and will go to hell.
Go jump into the Potomac you brain damaged traitor.
John Fetterman lives under a bridge and eats any traveller who can’t answer his riddles
People who look crazy like this fuckhead shouldn’t throw stones.
Brain damaged fool says what?
Huh?
Fetterman, Randy Fine, Trump, Lindsey Graham, Rubio, Ted Cruz. It’s amazing to think about how his gallery of absolute revolting ghouls have all received the majority of votes in an election in the US. The American public have preferred these freaks to whatever was the alternative.
I don’t know how the US can be salvaged. At the minimum, a massive portion of the country needs to be sent to reeducation camps.
It’s really a shame he didn’t die in that car crash.
WHICH ONE OF THE SIX SCHOOL BOMBING STRIKES IN IRAN, FETTERMAN? WHICH FUCKING ONE DOESN’T DESERVE INVESTIGATION?
When it comes to Fetterman, I wonder how many people get brain damage and suddenly become more progressive instead of regressive?
I know some people say this is who they suspect he always was, but…
He had a helluva PR campaign to reform his image. I believed it at first until i finally found a video of someone giving a rundown of his background and his actions began making a lot more sense. Suffice to say i’ve found him to be an extreme disappointment but because i wasn’t in his district and therefore voting for him I never dug into his history or background.
That same video is what revealed what a shithead he is.
I should keep it saved to share.
I once had an idea that it would be funny if Trump got hit on the head and turned woke: We’re gonna add so many genders your head’s gonna spin. You’ll say, “Donald, there’s too many genders, we can’t keep track of them all!” Too bad, we just added 10 more genders
I sometimes wonder if that happened to me. I had a little head trauma and some interesting liberating experiences in the following months.
I also read a lot of hopeful transhumanist scifi around that time, changed my antidepressants and went through a great personal loss.
So I can’t confirm it, but I do wonder how much smashing my head on a door frame contributed.
This guy has been a major disappointment, but I want to remind everyone, that if Fetterman had t won his election, we’d be listening to Dr Oz run his fraud mouth.
Guys like Manchin and Sinema and Fetterman piss us off, but they contribute to the Democratic seat count, which is really really close right now. In past close party counts, sometimes the majority is only because of a DINO. They may not vote how we’d like, as much as we like, but their registration as Dem means that Dems control the chamber, the investigations, the legislation, etc.
So while he’s a pain in the ass, he still has value to the party. Right now, the MAGA majority in the House is so thin, that if only one more Republican resigns effective immediately, the majority will swing to the Dems, BEFORE THE MIDTERMS EVEN HAPPEN.
If I were the Dems, I’d be offering huge rewards to any Republican willing to retire immediately. Want a cushy, high paying gig with a lobbying firm? We can make that happen. MAGA will scream, but who cares? That’s always entertaining anyway.
He just said killing school children is a leftist conspiracy wtf are you talking about
I guess but isn’t Dr. Oz just in a different position within the trump administration now?
But he’s not a Senator.
This is all very true. I just wish we had enough margin for error w/o jagoffs like this.
I remember SNL summing up this problem in a way that was razor sharp when they had the person playing Sinema saying she (paraphrasing) “wanted to watch the world burn”.
That just nailed it. Sinema was so obviously an incredibly selfish person and felt just so entitled. Same with Manchin. (Hey you guys! He wrote a book called “Dead Center”! LOL, I’ve seen him interviewed on it, and he really does seem to believe this notion of centrism, and that it’s somewhere between the radically extremist party that the Republicans are as contrasted with the only moderately right wing Democratic Party. I’d love to know what the “centrist” position is between, say, extreme renditioning all brown people in the United States vs. you know, not doing that?)
IKR, it would be sooo comfy to have a cushion. We’ve been balancing on the hard edge for years.
