It was obvious to me but so many fell for his shit. Now his true self can come out and by the looks of it he’s gonna be a nightmare.

Just curious. I have never been a particular fan, although I had no trouble voting for him, but I did think he was a straight shooter for the most part. Didn't realize he had a "true self" who was different from his presented self.

Supporting those two is not a good look for Fetterman or any Democrat.

I only see he met with him which is his job. He could vote no on all the nominees but nobody will give a crap other than the left.

Probably cost us the presidency. So, yeah, maybe the purity squad was right about him. Maybe if the whole party did what the base wanted, we wouldn't be in this situation today.

and go on Gaslit Social to call for it.. also to support Gaslit Liar Elise Stefanik... call me crazy but I don't want that, either.

I've never been accused of being "pure".

In liking it and calling for his head on a pike.

Fetterman is representing a state that Trump won and where we lost a longtime senator. Makes some sense to me that he shouldn't be openly hostile to that person.
